Seriously Need To Vent!!!



Recommended Posts

It's no excuse but sometimes men can't cope with the fact we are unwell or not 100 %. I guess often its cause we just soldier on. Try talking to him and tell him you need more help

perhaps you ladies have forgotten how difficult it is to communicate IN person let alone on the screen.

While anyone can sympathies with venting, consider how well any of you would take ongoing sexist bashing of this nature.

Nuance is difficult under best of circumstances.

Not all men are like that. My husband was and is very supportive. Sometimes toooo much. Aren't you eating too big of a bite of food? Are you suppose to eat that? Aren't you eating too fast? Oh well, I guess some are too overbearing and others just disappear???

I agree..not all men are like that. My husband waited on me hand and foot while i was recovering and took perfect care of the kids also. I was actually shocked...lol. Im sorry he left you like that. You definately should not be lifting a baby so soon after surgery. It can be dangerous.

Dee i totally agree with you. Call your SIL his aunts his friends whoever to get you some help. And as always MIL last resort. But it will surely get his attention

I already know my husband will be NO help when I have surgery. I live hundreds of miles away from my family but my mom is coming down to help... Thank God!

Somehow I don't think this thread is about the band.... There are much deeper issues here. Best wishes for a successful recovery.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
