Hi

I wished you would talk to my husband about your journey, he is almost 500 lbs . He tells me all the time he knows what to do but I seriously can't tell. I have gotten him off the diet Pepsi that he has been a slave to for 30 yrs, he drinks Red Diamond sugar free tea now. And Water.

Did your surgeon make you drop the weight before surgery? I just don't think he could do it. He is 48 yrs old 6'3

He doesn't have high blood pressure or diabetes as of yet. He does have sleep apnea.

I had my surgery Dec 31st 2012. He sees my progress and wants to lose but continues to gain.

I know it's hard for everyone, but you can't help who doesn't want the help or encouragement

Thank you for sharing!!

I would love to talk to him. I made the decision to have surgery two years ago but got talked out of it by people who said they knew people who died from it etc. After a year I got on the scale one day and saw I was 511lbs and I knew I couldn't keep going like that. I had high blood pressure and sore joints. I couldn't participate in things I wanted too. After my wife got pregnant I knew it was time for to get the RNY for her and my son. I began to skip one meal a day and dropped about 43lbs on my own. Then I started my liquid diet and lost about 35lbs more. I still have thoughts in my mind that I made a mistake doing the surgery when I read people who have so many complications but I know if I would of stayed on the path I was on I would of never been happy. I didn't want my son to grow up fatherless or my wife to grow old alone. 500lbs is TOO much for anyone to weigh. When I thought about it I was like well I'm fat but hey I only have high blood pressure "I'm a healthy fat" but the truth is it was only a matter of time before it all caught up to me. Your husband has to understand he's a tickling time bomb and is at huge risk for a heart attack and other problems. He HAS to lose weight not just for himself but for you. If he truly loves you he needs to start taking steps to make sure you two are together for a long time to come.

If he wants to email me questions or anything I would love to talk to him. Just send me a PM I can give you my email.

Thank you for responding he isnt on this site. He avoids all this stuff like an ostrich he sticks his head in the sand hoping not to be seen. Its very sad. I am not saying i want him to have the surgery but he does need to do something.
