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

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
