Spouse not on board with WLS

[Pabst 45]

What I can say is, after a week after my surgery. I almost forget what hungry is. My bigger compulsion is to complain about getting tired of what I can eat (broths and shakes).

The sleeve is a tool to control your hunger. It works... And if you embrace it, it will help you into a healthier lifestyle by slapping you on the head and making you toss your Cookies when you make a bad food decision. That only works to a point... You can eventually throw up and eat bad till a point where you've stretched out your once 15% size of a stomach close to what it was before surgery but that's after some colossal and persistent mess ups... So as I mentioned before... Embrace the tool you get from the surgery and it will serve you well and you won't be starved all the time... (An added bonus is... You tend to smell things more sharply and things taste better... So perhaps you will enjoy a little less MORE!).

If you've been down the weight loss gambit a dozen or so times and you feel you just can't get there... WLS might be the help you need.

Best of luck with whichever decision you make and I hope your hubby supports you.

My husband didn't want me to have surgery at all because any surgery can be dangerous. I gave him a few weeks to adjust to the idea and then approached the idea again. The bottom line is that it is my body, my choice and I expect support. My husband has risen to the occasion and has educated himself. He's still worried but is also supportive. I'm thankful for that.
