Since I'm not hungry sometimes i forget that others need to eat. This afternoon my husband kept taking about going out to eat and i couldn't understand why he already wanted to go to eat. It was 12:00!

I have a husband that doesn't cook and 3 kids that have hollow legs. Although the snacking has gone down tremendously they never let me forget LOL But, I completely understand what you are saying. This post made me smile :D

I get some sort of high from cooking for others now! Maybe smelling the food helps. Lol!

I just got in to trouble for this today! My husband is not happy right now because I'm not putting enough thought into dinners for them....

I was the primary cook in the house. I still cook once in a while, but not nearly as much as I used to.. My wife said the other night "I'm hungry" I replied by telling her how the knobs on the stove magically make fire.. She wasn't impressed with that answer..

Did you tell him to read your mind right after he said that?

I wish I could... Like he is seriously mad right now

0_o It all started because he wanted tri tip and potatoes for dinner tonight (the skinny bastard)

And it's f**king 90 degrees!!! So then he's like you know you don't work you could at least treat this ( the house kids and him) like a full time job...

I'm so mad and we never actually fight that I'm beside myself right now!!

He's getting his meat and potatoes and like a good "housewife" I just noticed 4 overripe bananas and I'm making banana bread too.

Ok I hear the 1950's calling me gotta go..

Ps I'm REALLY MAD! And I think hurt... But mostly MAD.

Ugh, my husband tried pulling this once. I said "oh? You think I'm not doing anything?" So I went on strike. It took two nights of him making Cereal for dinner (he can't cook at ALL, like he doesn't even know how to make an egg) and washing his own clothes and he apologized. Maybe it was extreme, but he pissed me off!

JessicaAnn - your post made me laugh out loud. When I was growing up a neighbor's husband said something similar to her and she went on strike too. I remember her sitting out on her front lawn in a lawn chair at dinner time, reading a magazine & drinking coffee. Her husband and 4 kids were left to fend for themselves. She did this for about 4 nights and after that she was always treated like a queen.

Sometimes I just send my husband out to get dinner - salad with chicken for me and he can get whatever. Tonite I think he's getting a pizza!!

You should tell him to cook himself. Prior to going out on disability, my wife who owns a bakery and I split up all of the household chores. Before I helped my wife start her business, she was unemployed for a short time and we still broke up the household chores. I shop and do laundry ( I'm better at it than she, she says it smells better and is softer when i do it.)and she cooks (she is a better cook) and cleans.

You are a good husband lol. I was the one who spoiled my husband when we were dating and moved in together, so now he expects it. I don't think he's cleaned more then 5 times in the last 5 years we've been together lol

      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.
