Had "the Talk" With My Hubby



Recommended Posts

So, my husband's aunt and cousin and I are heading to Mexico in 8 Weeks for surgery. I have a love/hate relationship with my mil, and she has a big flapping mouth. None of the three of us want dh's mother to know why we are going on "vacation", so I strictly told my hubby that he is NOT to tell his mother anything other than we are going on a girls retreat to Celebrate the cousins upcoming wedding. Lol, well, my hubby didn't care for me telling him not to tell his mom. He became defensive of her! I quickly told him is is not his mothers business to know our private business. I'm worried that my dh will spill the Beans and upset his aunt and cousin. Help!

That is horrible! This is a private matter. Plus your husband should be a lot more supportive of you. Is he on Team Mom or on Team Cissiesue? There is only ONE right answer to that question. Sorry, I take it personally when men act like jackasses.

I agree that your husband should be on your "team". However, you cannot control what he chooses to do and what may come of it with his aunt and cousin. It's his decision and it's him who will have to suffer the consequences of his choice. You wouldn't be responsible for that and shouldn't worry about it, IMHO. I hope for you that he keeps his mouth shut and lets y'all enjoy "your vacation". Good luck!

      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.
