People don't realize what they say. Often their hearts are in the right place but they completely screw up on the delivery. My brother encouraged me to go for walks every day. My ex told me he was scared for me. My mother told me when she saw I was losing weight from the meal replacement diet pre surgery that "see you don't need the surgery, just keep doing what you're doing now..." and then day of surgery, was told "it's not too late to change your mind!" i believe these statements are fear driven. Like I said- heart in the right place.

31 year old single mom here of an 8 year old. Although my daughter is significantly more self sufficient at her age. She still needs help. I recruited help from Friends and family. I've learned that I actually need to ask for help. Which is SO not in my nature. I am a proud person. I enjoy being able to do things on my own. Ask for help. Remind your husband it's a temporary state of being for long term success and benefit to your health I'm post op 2 weeks as of today. good luck!!
