Ok I have 3 boys and a husband. On the weekends I also have my stepson and stepdaughter. I try not to let what they eat bother me. But my husband keeps bringing junk food that I use to love ( choclate, breads, pastas, soadas, etc) in the house. I've tried talking to him but he just gets hurt or angry. What can I do to keep the peice without either of us suffering?

Sadly-our choices are not theirs. It's not fair to expect the world to accommodate us. Try getting yourself some tasty alternatives. Your favorite fruits and beverages. Special Proteins like scallops just for you. And if he starts to gripe, explain that while you don't demand that he change, those scallops for one cost far less than the sodas that he will drink. Or whatever.

No they are not over weight. My hubby is one of those guys who eats anything and everything all day and don't gain weight! I've gotten me "special" things and I do the cooking. They generally eat healthy except when they snack. Which seems yo be all day sometimes... guess its just something I have to learn to live with and not rant about.

We all are eating healthy in our household but my husband and kids still like to have some snack choices that aren't "carrots and hummus or a nice apple". I keep a snack cupboard with choices for them. Torrtilla chips and salsa, fat free triskets or wheat thins, cheese its and granolla bars. I make them High protien Peanut Butter bannana bread and there are so many "healthy cookie recipes on Pintrest... Yogurt Blueberry drop cookes and oatmeal Applesauce cookies... I make them - they eat them since I am just one month out. Good luck! Oh and if my family is having a nice snack I make myself a cup of International Cafe - Swiss Mocha - sugar free Decaf.. Yum :D

      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.
