paranoid partners



Recommended Posts

Okay, so you know when you know something isn't right in your relationship but you can't quite figure out what it is?

Well, I finally heard this today, "I can't help but wondering if you are going to Mexico so you can lose a bunch of weight because you want to go find someone else." And there have been a few moments of, "yeah, are you sure you're going to Mexico for surgery?" Like I'm going to put little scratches and steristrips on my belly to cover up for my going off to Mexico to have some secret tryst. Sigh.

We talk all the time about unsupportive partners and why that is, but am I alone here?

I think Deborah's partner is same-sex, BUT, the point is well made. Doesn't have to be a man-woman relationship for there to be jealousy and insecurity. That kind of thing comes in all shapes, sizes, and genders! LOL

Sorry u had to deal with that. I think it's impossible for partners to not have. But of jealousy or what if moments-- my wife(same sex) is completely there and supportive-- but she did have a moment of... When u lose weight nothing will change right...

I think it's natural but it is imperative to know the diff is natural I care jealousy and unhealthy -- if u all separate a d together would be willing to go to counseling it could benefit the relationship...

      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.
