How HER surgery...Changed HIS life...And THEIR marriage
Description
At a combined 600+ pounds, Chris & Patty were a happy couple, but a heavy couple. When Patty's weight-loss surgery was approved, Chris faced a stark choice--risk 'Bariatric Divorce'? Or get on board.
Chris made the choice to adopt the healthy lifestyle his wife had recommended for decades--this time for real, and this time for good. He had never been successful at weight loss before, but he felt he had no excuses left. He knew this would be the biggest challenge of his married life...and he knew the best way to stay on track was to write it all down.
On the day of Patty's surgery, Chris began keeping a secret journal, and kept writing for 400 days, as they each completed a 100+ pound weight loss. His journal describes their stunning transformation and the effect it had on their families, co-workers, doctors, neighbors, and above all, their marriage itself.
Containing whimsy, candor, and dozens of photos, this is the story of how one marriage survived--and thrived--amid the profound change that results from one partner's bariatric surgery.
