My wife is certainly supportive in general, but I'll tell you that this process has been harder on her than me. She's very worried that I'll change, that I'll get 'too skinny,' etc.

Definitely a weird dynamic. The excellent book 'Emotional First Aid Kit: A Practical Guide to Life After Bariatric Surgery' has a lot about this and more. Strongly suggest it.

After I booked and made the deposit my wife said you better not be looking for some one younger after you lose the wieght(she is 8 years older then me), I said I'll be more upset is you leave me for a fat guy. It was all in fun. She has been very suportive and been there every step of the way.

My wife only worries I'll change and want something different, and each time I just have to take some time and remind her of what we have together and that nothing will ever mean more to me. As far as support, she's been my pillar to lean on through everything it seems. I'm only lucky SOB.

My wife had this done in Sept and is down 75 lbs. She has been pushing me to do it ever since. Now I have a surgery date on the 20th of March.

My wife has been supportive all the way. I think one of her issues is her friends always complimenting me to her as if she doesn't see me everyday. I can notice a slight tendency for her to ask where I'm going more often. Of course she's 100% onboard but I think she now fears of course that other women notice me more also.

You will notice them noticing you more. I am flabbergasted at the young gals who flirt with a 64 year old man such as myself. Fortunately, I have enough in my head and heart to realize what a treasure waits for me at home. She has been with me through hell and back, she's the Audie Murphy of my life. No clear eyed, smooth skinned cutie pie has a chance against her depth of experience and affection. Besides, she looks mighty good to me anyway.

      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.
