Did Weight Loss Change Your Marriage?



Recommended Posts

For me it has change it has gotten better. I feel the changed was with me. It took me a long time to find my soul mate. So I think that is very important to know. How strong is your marriage? these are the question you need to ask yourself. Sit down and discuss on what your mate feels about WLS. Explain your feelings. Tell your mate why this is go for you and the marriage.

I was with a man that use to tell me he loved me just the way I was but when I met my husband I told him that I never want to hear those word again. Every body has a problem with something.

So as for me I am happy to have done this for myself. I am having more loving moments with hubby. He can't keep his hands off of me. I walk more and able to do more around the house.

I am finishing off school and going back to work.

The only thing I struggled with was experiencing severe PMS symptoms..explained by a PA that when women lose a bunch of weight rapidly we also burn estrogen and it caused me ( and my husband) extreme difficulty. I had to get a prescription for Wellbutrin but only had to take it for a few months before things started to level off. I was miserable as I was MAD MAD MAD all the time...I don't know how my husband put up with me.

So..if you experience something similiar, just keep this in mind. :)

      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.
