My husband is going through this with me. It's not easy. I'm on day 5 post op. Sugar Free Chocolate mousse. It's a wonderful tasting treat and was ok'd on my pre op diet. Makes you feel like you cheated. You'll do fine. The fact that you're on this support website says a lot.

You are a good man!! Keep supporting her but remember, this is her journey and you can't be her jailer. Make some "legal" suggestions to her that are on her diet. Use some psychological tricks, getting her to envision what she will look like when she looses the weight. Women love that visual... we are all such Divas. Remind her that for her to reach that vision she has to stay on track... but you can't force her. She has to learn to make her decisions and be able to live with them. Good luck and stick with your lady as this will all be a memory that you can both joke about at a later date.

First it is nice I think that your here looking for further answers on how to support her. My hubby went to my last pre op class with me and that helped A ton. My program require us to bring some one if possible. In the beginning, I missed food and one time I was mad at others= lost my best friend food. But boy am I so much happier, better. And yes my good marriage/relationship got even better.

Keys : is support classes together discuss it , try it if you two agree. At least one. So you know what to expect after Surgery. You can talk with the nutritionist together if the pre op classes are finish.

Relax it really gets better

It's a process!!!

Good luck

      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.
