It won't be easy, but hopefully we can all support and help each other. My husband eats more, smokes more and goes back and forth on his helpfulness since my surgery. I feel like I'm on a path towards health and happiness and my husband is going in the opposite direction.

I feel the same way. I'm desperately trying to get healthy and am hoping to have surgery soon (finishing up appointments this month and then submitting for insurance). My husband says that he wants to lose weight, but yet still demands I get him fast food (even though we have real, home cooked meals at the house) and will not work out with me. I understand that it's really hard to change your lifestyle and lose weight, but I feel like he's just given up on life. He has become so stubborn, and unambitious. I'm just at my wit's end and don't know what to do. :huh:

We all have been there before. I didn't get to 300lbs by working out and eating healthy he will have his Epiphany one day. Be supportive and make suggestions but remember how you felt when people would tell you how to get healthy when you weren't ready

      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.
