Positive relationship changes



Recommended Posts

I've read so many horror stories how people have lost weight and their relationship suffered or failed. How about all the ones that have re amped!!! I'm an optimistic person and would love to read about some.

I have to say that it has made my relationship better! I'm no longer depressed and I have A LOT more energy so I enjoy doing more things with my husband and family. I also don't feel like everyone is judging me for being big :) HAPPY LIFE :)

Well, my husband and I are both sleeved, so I'm not sure how things would have gone if we both were not on this journey together. I think we would have been fine if either of us was sleeved and the other wasn't but hard to say. Although I went first (about 5 months before my hubby) he was supportive from the beginning until now.

What I always hear in regards to how WLS affects relationships is this: If you are on rocky ground to begin with, WLS won't make things any better. If you are in a good solid relationship to start, then WLS only makes things better.

That seems to be true for us. Everyone is different!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
