Do something nice for her try to get her to understand that the surgery wasn't to leave it was so you can get healthy.  And maybe take her on a sunset walk on the beach or somthing you two never have done before.  I hope that this helps.

Topic: RE: help need a support buddy to help me get back on track

I am a newbie here, but talking to my contacts, tracking, water intake, and protein are the upmost importance.  You just have remember why you did this in the first place.  Yourself, family, spouse, kids, or grandkids. I am excited, but worried about my relationship.  So I hope that does not hinder me.

Topic: Spouse Issues(self fulfilling prophecy)

Hello all, just had RNY on 7-13-15. My wife is constantly starting arguments over nothing, and in the end it comes out she thinks I'm going to get skinny and leave her. And honestly this behavior is going to make that happen. I reassure her that I am not leaving, I don't want to start over, I love her. What do I do??????

You can do it as I'm doing it myself right now. I'm one year behind you for when I had my surgery and regained 65lbs from my lowest. Currently have dropped 25 of those by tracking what I'm eating and working out. It's not easy but if you focus and take it one day at a time it's doable. The biggest thing I've found if exercising. I've finally found a place I enjoy (if you can enjoy exercise) and am willing to go 5-6 times a week. I also bought a FitBit to help me track things. I'm a bit OCD so knowing I need to get a certain calorie burn each day to realize that and if it shows I don't have it I'll have to increase my activity so I do. Might not be a motivation to everyone but it is to me.

You just need to discipline yourself and only eat and drink what your supposed to. Get back to the basics greek yogurt. Lean protine, cottage cheese, string cheese, tuna fish, high protine shakes or meal replacements. You can do it!
