My husnad didn't want me to do the surgery, but only because of risks. I have a bad history of complications so it was natural for this reaction. Ha also doesn't say much and I think it's because a spouse is in the " damned if I do and damned if I don't" situation. They want to encourage you, but does that mean they don't like the way you are or think you need to lose weigh in their eyes, etc? Sensitive area there!

Just recently, I told my husband Ive lost 25 lbs now and I could see the look of entrapment on his face... lol, I bailed him out and changed the subject.

My husband didn't really want me to have the surgery but I think it's more because of his own in securities. Everyone at his work that spouses have had it they have gotten a divorce. The night and morning before surgery he was a complete jerk! I guess he's coming around though and he actually went on a diet too of course he is losing so fast and is already down a pants size!

My husband has always loved me big or small. I had a woman ask me once " what does your husband say about your weight gain" I told her "he loves me the same" she said "oh what a good man he is to love you after gaining weight" what??? Like he's a saint for sticking around??

Lol.. But he is a great man for many reasons

.

He wasn't really thrilled when I told him about the sleeve. But I asked him please come to a consultation with the doctor with me. At the doctors I let him see how much I weighed and laid everything out on the table for him to see. I mean I was big enough to qualify! I think he really didn't want to believe I was that big but I was.

He is now my biggest supporter and likes seeing me happy!

My hubby actually helped me make my decision. I had been on high blood pressure, and diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He said baby I want you here a little longer, so I think you should do it. Now everytime he see's me he gets excited. I was blessed with a great husband no complaints here!

My husband didn't say much. Just that he loves me no matter what. Later after my major weight loss and no more diabetes, he started talking about how this vsg would help my niece who has issues with her diabetes, bp, and eyes. Wanted me to talk with her..... Now that saids it all..... :)

My hubby was not thrilled with the idea initially bc of lack of info that he had on it. He knew I wanted to do this for myself to get healthy bc of many failed attempts in the past. I took him to a free wls seminar with one of the drs I was considering and with his research he changed his mind. He has always said he loves me no matter what. We have been together for 15 yrs and when we first met I was much smaller then gained a lot of weight so he has seen me at all different sizes. I think he was more ok with it bc he saw how I wanted and needed it.

My husband is the one who brought up the idea of WLS, he has watched me go thru so many complications from being overweight. Thank God I listened to him! 7 months out and 107 lbs down my wonderful husband is getting his sexy wife back and believe me, he's enjoying every minute of it!

This is how my husband was. He said as long as you've done your research, so it was off to Mexico we go. He has tried to eat like me and although he only needed to lose 10lbs he has, and brings no junk food in our house in order to help me. He never really complained about my fatness, but now he is so happy for me and I can tell he loves the new clothes I get, and that I don't wear Baggie ugly clothes anymore. He loves that i can do so much now, and talks about the energy I have now. He really loves the new wife he has, since I'm getting back to the women he married 29 years ago:)

My husband has been so supportive from day one of my decision. I have a 6 month diet requirement and he helps me every day. My husband and I met when I was 245 pounds 13 years ago. So I know he doesn't have a problem with a bigger woman, but at my current weight of 340 its a bit out of his scope I'm sure. He would never say, he tells me every day how beautiful I am. But just recently admitted he hates to see me in pain how Im walking. He's so amazing, I can't wait to give him a sexier woman he's never had. We are high school sweethearts and have only ever been with each other. He deserves it. Can't wait!!!

My bf has been so supportive every step of the way. He went to the info session and every dr appt since. I was sleeved 7 months ago and I am down 85#. He has adopted my way of eating and has dropped 30#. We exercise together and he was excitedly surprised when I said I wanted to start running. He is absolutely amazing and I am so lucky to have someone so supportive as he is.

      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.
