My Husband/Support System



Recommended Posts

My husband has been through every step of the way with me since this past February when my journey to have gastric sleeve surgery began. I chose not to tell anyone but him and one other person about this surgery because it is very personal to me. He has had to listen to me complain about my weight and sometimes even try to blame him for helping me gain all of this weight because he is such a good cook! He must really love me to keep putting up with all of the ups and downs I have gone through to get where I am, and THAT is 12 days from my new surgery day! :D He has now decided that after I am on the road to recovery that he is going to start the process to have the same surgery!!! I can't wait till our rolls are reversed and it is me listening to him during the ups and downs that he will more than likely have to go through. It will be well worth it in the end though because good Lord willing we will both get to have this surgery and will both be on the right path to healthier lives. :D

SDH Sweet Thang, No matter what today or tomorrow might bring. You know I'm always here for you. This has definitely been one Hell of a journey to go through. Sometimes it seems to just flow along, and others not so much. Either way we're doing this together. I love you and support you in all you do. I also love your cooking too :rolleyes: ! BOH

      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.
