vwlover 6 Posted April 27, 2016 Sooo I'm happy with myself except my weight obviously! I'm 31 I have been with my husband since I was 14, married for nearly 9 years and have a 3 year old son. Life is good I have a big list of things to do post op, run a charity event, get my drift licence, go rock climbing, paint balling etc etc But I'm worried this may change me as a person and I don't want it too!!!

MrsSugarbabe 727 Posted April 27, 2016 I don't think having the surgery change the essential me at all; just what and how I eat, and my relationship with food. My people relationships are as good as ever and I'm more physically active than before surgery. I wouldn't worry about it. Enjoy the journey!!! Sounds like you have a lot going on so ENJOY!!

That's what it's all about, isn't it?--changing the way we eat. The choices we make. The activity level we choose. --even the company we decide to keep--or not. AND another thought to consider: What will your husband think of "the new you"? Will you be the same person he fell in love with? It's a fair question. Talk to him about how HE feels about you "changing"--even if the change is for a healthier you. I strongly believe that a "couple's session" with a therapist PRE WLS should be mandatory. --or better yet, a mandatory SO therapy session.--just to give the SO a chance to voice his/her feelings about WLS and wrap his/her head around the "changes" that will certainly happen. I applaud you for giving this issue serious thought. It deserves it--and so do you. Prayers going up for you and your journey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
