I am one of the first people to rag on her hubby when he is being a jerk but i just wanted to say that my DH has decided to do the two week pre op with me. He will be drinking shakes and having sugarvfree approved Snacks. He wants to see how much he can lose and wants to see how hard it really is. He already admits he knows he is weaker. So sweet! I think it will be great for us to walk together a little bit on this journey.

Love it!! My DH has been dieting with me as well. The suggestions the NUT gave me. And he has lost a few lbs already. Though he isn't brave enuff to sweat out the liquid diet with me!! LOL

Mine tried the liquid diet too. I asked him to stop after 4 days because he just wasn't doing it right and I didn't want him to hurt himself. I was at least being monitored by a doc. This surgery has brought the two of us so much closer. He took the best care of me when I needed him. I am glad there are other women who get to enjoy husbands that are that sweet. You don't see many of those anymore :)

My husband has been very supported as well. He has gone to all of the doctors appointments. He has also been going for walks with me every evening. He has really surprised me!

Yay for good husbands! Yes, I am worried he will hurt himself too. I go to the class tomorrow and he says he will start on Saturday. He has always been pretty slim but over the last few years about 30 pounds has crept on him so it would be great if he could lose that. When I used to join weight watchers every few months or so (LOL) he would join and drop like 10 pounds in a week when I would lose 3. So I'm sure that may be frustrating for me. But I also want him healthy.

That is so sweet of him. I know that is something my husband would never do. I do feel bad for my husband now as he is my extra food disposal. If I grab a pc of cheese and can't eat it all he gets the rest. That is how it is with almost everything I eat.

      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.
