You laugh and tell him you love him even though you know he doesn't know what the future holds and thank him for thinking and worrying about you.

Talk it out. If you value your marriage you will get this issue settled BEFORE your surgery. Seek professional help if you can afford it. This can be a life changing even - both the surgery and any repercussions from marriage issues stemming from it.

He's probably scared. Guys have strange ways of dealing with things and then even worse at communicating them. But rest assured.. If yor surgery is flawless and while heading home you stub your toe... No doubt the big guy will claim " I told you so! "

I would ask what his concerns are. I agree with splatters and rootman. They are both correct. I think sitting down and just let him tell you his concerns without interruption is beneficial. I did this with my hubby. I also included him on every appt every step of the way so I knew he was educated on the process. He became my greatest ally and support. If you value and respect his opinion, I'd sit and listen to him talk, review aspects that your doctor has gone over with you, and remember fear is a worrisome monkey to get off your back. His motivation more than likely is based on fear and love for your well being. Reminding him of the pros and cons of the process may be helpful as well. And lastly, I looked at my hubby and flat told him " you are giving me the best of you, let me give you the best of me by letting me take this step to a healthier me". Good Luck!

the statement/thought from Pipula "up above" ;) - IMO is worth repeating

Talk to DH about his concerns/worries

WLS 12/26 weeks away - exciting, but you want the two of you to start on the same page

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.
