Shrinking body... Jealous Husband :(



Recommended Posts

I've always been a big girl... I was determined to get the sleeve a couple of years ago when I found out that I was eligible through my insurance. My husband and I have been together for 4 years. He's always been a jealous person due to his ex wife cheating on him with his best friend so I understood his insecurities... I got sleeved on May 30th and since I have been dropping weight, he's been VERY jealous over any little attention I get. I don't flaunt myself or flirt but I have been proud of myself and have bought myself new clothes that fit right and he has just flipped his lid. It has been such a struggle... Am I the only one dealing with a jealous or envious spouse?!? How can I show him I'm not going anywhere and that I'm the same ol me...

This is a common occurrence. Counseling as a couple would be a really good idea. I wish you the best. :-)

I wish my husband would show a little jealousy. Not a lot -- just a wee bit would make me happy. Crazy to hear that huh? Maybe we should go out more. Anyways- I don't think he is being dumb. He has been hurt before. Counseling is the best route. Get a professional to help you. You wouldn't want the situation to get even worse.

I concur about some couple's therapy...so many times we are in a dynamic that we don't even know/realize all of the ins and outs of...his jealousy is something he needs to work through...I guarantee (said in the voice of Foghorn Leghorn) that issue has been an underlying element of more situations (both his actions and your responses) than you realize

      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.
