One thing that I can say is that things are getting better for the mostpart - 5 steps forward, 1 step back type of thing. With the surgery, my husband has seen incisions, etc. He knows I'm not capable of lifting things etc. With my previous illness, there were no scars, there were just limitations brought on by illness that he couldn't comprehend. This has led to me having a bit easier time of explaining things and him meeting some expectations of picking up some slack that I can't do yet. We laugh a lot more. He sticks his foot in his mouth a lot, but he's always done that - and its easier to let that go now, that's for sure.

Because I feel like I'm getting back to being my old self, he feels that too- and our relationship is getting better than it has been in years.

I been married for 10 years and pretty much the same weight for 10 years, dh loves me for who I am and my weight never really bothered him. Me feeling miserable about myself has, that is why he agreed to this surgery in the first place, because even though he didn't want me to do it or thought I need to do it, he knew how much it meant to me. But now we are fighting about it because I am loosing very slow 33 lbs in 3 months and with the doc telling me that is failure, that is making me very depressed, so now dh is regretting even agreeing to it in the first place because it hasn't brought me the happiness we all thought it would and I mentioned the other day I am going to look into switching to an RNY after a couple months if this doesn't work and he is even more mad and upset. So that has been the bad oh and the fact I have lost a lot of boob and bootie, which he loved lol.

let me ask you - how much weight were you losing each month before the sleeve? Right now, you're losing 11 lbs per month - that is NOT A FAILURE. Any loss is a success! Your doctor isn't a specialist on weight loss surgery so he doesn't have the right to tell you that you're failing - secondly, the only way to fail at wls surgery is to GAIN weight.

Your hubby needs a little talking to! Maybe you'd be able to lose faster if he werent' stressing you out, causing extra cortisol in your system!

More sex. YAY!!!!

Seriously, I didn't feel into it. My husband always was, even at my heaviest. Now we are having some fun.

TMI?

I am also less "invisible" to others.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
