Non-supportive wives?



Recommended Posts

I read many, many threads about women who are sleeving and have to deal with jerk, non-supportive, insecure, namby-pamby, crybaby husbands.

I am just curious.......... any of you men have non-supportive wives?

I found and read the thread that our honorary guest, Laura, referred to. It is :http://www.verticals...9;t supportive

It is an excellent thread on the subject. After reading that thread I almost wished I had posed this question in the general area. The women gave such insightful answers. Hey guys, OK if we throw this open to the ladies?

That might have been the thread I started a while back. My wife was being a real beech about it in a very passive aggressive way. When I was work hard to get the pre-op weight down, she would actually sit down in front of me (away from our dining room) and eat. She had had RNY about 7 years ago and had put back on almost all of her weight. So I think that had a lot to do with it. Generally she's kinda supportive. She cooks more for our kids than anything, but I have no problem making my own food and I think that pisses her off to a degree. If she makes something that I can't or don't want, I just make my own. I haven't let it get to me, I've pretty much tuned her out. But now that I am 3 months out she seems to be getting on board more. In fact she's started working out and seeing a nutritionist, but that has more to do with her, not really me. So who knows......

I agree with what was said on the other thread...maybe she's feeling insecure & afraid what might happen when your looking & feeling good! I know many years ago when I lost over 100 lbs & my husband started losing too..I became insecure & jealous! I would try & sabotage his weight loss by making his fav meals, etc. It was my problem...not his! Now we are both on this journey again....me sleeved & he trying on his own...but I feel totally different this time & we support each other. Maybe if you assure her how much you love her & talk about all the things you two will soon be able to do TOGETHER....she will get on board. Good luck on your journey!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
