New Post-op Tip of The Day

Let's talk about friendships and relationships. Unfortunately some of these will change and not for the better. There is a high divorce rate in the wls community and no one really knows why. They don't know if the person that had wls finally got some self esteem and decided not to stay in an unhappy marriage or if the spouse becomes so jealous that he/she starts to smother and sabotage the relationship. Of course we know that there are many, many reasons for marriages and relationships to end. So be prepared to look deep into your relationship and yourself if you truly want your relationship to work.

Now friendships are a different story. Some friends are happy for you and will celebrate every milestone with you and some will drop you like a hot potato. You will have your haters but put on a big smile and lose that weight and sashay yourself around with your new body and new clothes and live a good life. If you were anything like me, then while you were obese life lived you instead of you living life. You might lose some close friends but if they were TRUE friends, they wouldn't let weight loss come between you. Get out and make new friends or just be satisfied with the ones that remain. Just be true to yourself and enjoy finding the new you.

Hi NeenaJ

I know I never respond but I wanted to thank you for posting this thread everday.  I read them often, and you always have great topics/tips.  Keep it up! 

Thank y'all so much. I haven't been posting everyday this week due to illness. I'm going through some serious health issues right now and a lot of tests are being done right now so I'm just doing what I can.

When I was doing my psych eval for my surgery the social worker said if you havea good relationhip it'll get better and if you have a bad one it'll get worse. Guess mine wasn't all I thought it was since boyfriend started acting funny even before I had the surgery. Thanks for the tip.
