Haha, this thread reminded me of this story that goes along with this pic:

A man came home from work and found his 5 children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn around garden, The door of his wife's car was open, as was the front door to the house and no

sign of the dog, walking in the door, he found ...an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, the throw rug was against one wall, In the front room the TV was on loudly with the cartoon channel, the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, Breakfast food was spilled on the counter, the fridge door was open wide, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she might be ill, or that something serious had happened. He was met with a small trickle of Water as it made its way out the bathroom door. As he peered inside he found wet towels, scummy soap and more toys strewn over the floor. Miles of toilet paper lay in a heap and toothpaste had been smeared over the mirror and walls. As he rushed to the bedroom, he found his wife still curled up in the bed in her pajamas, reading a novel... She looked up at him, smiled and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, 'What happened here today?' She again smiled and answered, 'You know every day when you come home from work and you ask me what in the world do I do all day?...

''Yes," was his incredulous reply..

She answered, 'Well, today I didn't do it.

I forget sometimes. My cooking has become rather dull since the sleeve though but my husband never complains. He cooks as frequently as I do.

Sometimes I get grossed out watching others eat. Sometimes I just can't be around when people are eating mindlessly. I was never really aware on the focus on food in most social activities until I had the sleeve.

That said, tonight we have just sat down to a platter style antipasto dinner of breads, cheeses, salami, duck liver parfait, olives, tapenade, and stuffed peppers all with a nice bottle of wine :-)

Now no one can say that is a boring dinner! And it works for us because I can have a little bit of everything and he can polish off the rest :-D

I try to be the best husband and father I can possibly be and never take my wife for granted. That is the reason we have been together for three decades. I think the bulk of you need to "train" (for lack of a better word) your husbands to be better no matter how much you love them.

I think the strike thing works because sometimes you need to shock the person back to reality. However, I do not agree with with using sex as a weapon, but that may be the counselor/therapist in me. That can sometimes cause a backlash that neither party wants to deal with. That is just my two cents as a guy.

There is a big diff between using sex as a weapon and not wanting to have sex with someone because you don't like them very much at the time.

I've been with my husband for 20 years as of this July, married for 18 of them. Just like all married couples, we've had our ups and downs. During our ups, there is a lot of hanky panky, during our downs, not so much. I always love him, but I don't always like him and I have no doubt he feels the same way about me at times.

I am far too old to use sex as a weapon, but if I'm not feeling it, I'm not giving it away either.

LipstickLady, I completely understand your point. Some women do use that as a weapon and it was presumptions to make a blanket statement. However, that is how the statement read to me. All longtime couples go through an adjustment period, and how they deal with it defines them as a couple. I'm not sure if this pertains to you, bur if a spouse consistently takes the other for granted then a lack of intimacy takes place. Has he come around and done better? I hope he has/does since you two have built such a life together.

BTW- I love the Nags Head area, my wife and I have a summer home on the Water in another part of NC. That is constantly being invaded by the kids and their friends. We hope to be "allowed" to go there in August.

I have a house in Nags Head, NC if y'all fancy the beach. It sleeps 8 and seafood is high in Protein so we could go out, order dinner and all share it.

Perfect! LOL.. I could see us all sitting down and ordering one dish or all of us..

      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.

      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.
