Try going back to the group and clicking "Group Discussion" from the right hand side. The groups will be getting overhauled in the next few weeks and I'm told things will be easier to navigate!

akwright68 114 Posted February 1, 2013 I start my pre-op all Protein Shake diet tomorrow. Of course my hubby decides to plan a sushi date for tomorrow, I have to say no because I know he is testing my resolve. Why can't people just be supportive and not play little passive aggressive games? 1 general_antiope reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowalking 10,790 Posted February 1, 2013 I start my pre-op all Protein Shake diet tomorrow. Of course my hubby decides to plan a sushi date for tomorrow, I have to say no because I know he is testing my resolve. Why can't people just be supportive and not play little passive aggressive games? I read this and am so sorry that the person who should support you is not doing so. I have a similar issue with a family member. I get support on the surface but sabotage is lurking nearby. I'm no therapist but I bet your hubby is scared that things will change and you will change. Just try to focus on your success and I'm sure once he sees the changes are good ones, I bet he backs you 100%. 2 general_antiope and akwright68 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ErinSue2000 48 Posted February 1, 2013 I start my pre op tomorrow and just went to the store and got Water and Jello and popsicles and chicken broth 1 general_antiope reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
general_antiope 189 Posted February 1, 2013 Gowalking is absolutely right...the passive aggressiveness isn't to sabotage you so much as to console himself that YOU aren't really changing/leaving him. food is a way to be close to someone. Ask any Italian It's currency for love, some times. Maybe your hubby needs to reassure himself that you still love him. Mine did the same thing, I let myself get off my liquids day 1 at the end of the night because he offered me a bite of pepperoni stromboli TWICE when I declined TWICE. And I know he liked his hot wife. So I know he doesnt' want me to be heavy, but food has been our mutual passion for a few years. It's a hobby. Hard to break those. 1 akwright68 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
