I am interested in meeting others that have had success with their weight loss surgery. I was able to keep most of it off, but my husband died a year ago and (in grief) I lost another 25 pounds. My children worry that I don't eat. It is very hard to be so sad and still try to take good care of myself. Does anyone out there have the same concerns?
Success with weight loss but now a grieving widow.

Yes when I thought I was going to lose my job of 47 years right after surgery. The stress on my body after surgery the stress of losing my job. I was on the liquids diet but I don’t even want that. Losing anything or someone takes a piece of your heart. And grieving will ware you down. You have to think would your husband want your health falling a part, I’m sure he would want you to take care of yourself. Do it for him and your kid.
Thank you, I am glad that you are out there and have messaged me back. Today I actually ate well, grapefruit, fish, and brocolli - but I not sure that our food cravings ever really go away. My personal need is popcorn. We have chosen a path that we need to adhere to. The success is worth the work.

I am sorry for your loss... I cannot imagine how painful that is. Everyone grieves in their own way and timing. Just because someone else does it differently does not mean that your process is not right for you.

Oh, My! What a terrible ordeal for you! You simply must take care of yourself physically in order to heal emotionally. Please get enough rest, exercise and protein . Keep yourself under the care of a good Health Care Provider and do as (s)he says. Keep busy and maintain a support network. Keep us informed. (((hugs)))
