I am a wife to GT-R Mark -- he had sugery on 3/23/09.
I went to every pre-op appt as well.
And when he had to start his pre-op diet. I did it with him.
I knew that I couldn't go through the sugery with him, but I also knew I wouldn't know what it was like -- that liquid diet -- unless I went through it. SO I did! It was the best thing I have ever done!
As you can see by my ticker -- I have lost a bunch of weight with Mark! It was the trigger I needed to change my eatting habits!! It has been the most amazing experience for us.
I read all of the materials. I joined the forum under my own name. I did reading and research on my own. I asked him a lot of questions. I went to the doctor with a ton of questions written down. I went to the seminars (3 of them) with him and took notes.
I ask Mark questions post op -- about how he's feeling, what it's like, "is that too much?" you know -- the wifely type questions since I can't tell what's going on in his belly!
But we all should know our spouses well enough to know when enough is enough. We haven't ever hit that level b/c I know him pretty well.
Ask me anything -- I'll tell you what I can!
