I am just starting out my weight loss journey. My husband has decided to go on the programs diet with me. He only has about 60 pounds to lose. He goes to my nut appointments with me. He said he is going to change his eating habits before my surgery so we can lose weight together when I am able to eat solid food again after surgery. I can't believe he is going to do this with me. I can never express to him enough how happy he makes me.

Sounds like you have a keeper. Tell him how you feel, he needs to hear it and will love you more for telling him. The diet will be much easier with the hubby on board. Best of luck to the both of you.

I know for a fact, I would not be doing as well as I'm doing if it weren't for my hubby deciding to change along with me. Yes, I planned on making changes, but it has progressed much faster with him on board. We talk about our eating habits and calorie intake constantly. Also, he joined us up to a gym and my exercise level has progressed much faster than expected. We see this as a life change. We have not had any sodas or fast food since December 9th. And we are Lovin it!

I'm so happy for you that you have his support. It makes a huge difference. Best wishes to you both!

I love hearing this stuff! You've got quite a wonderful husband. I agree with above poster......TELL him how much his support means to you. He'll love to hear it.

My husband was 100% supportive of my decision to have surgery, but he didn't go as far as doing the diet progression along with me. But he's also one who will eat whatever I prepare, and be happy with it. It's not like he's bringing home buckets of fried chicken, while I'm sitting with a Protein shake. He's been great, which has been a huge help over the past year.

You are a very lucky woman. I too have a great hubby! He has been there for me 120% big or smaller, and through all of my surgeries and pain, he has been a godsend! ;)

jtickle, that is awesome, my boyfriend is also very supportive and working it along with me. It is awesome to have someone who will support you like that. My boyfriend has already helped me in so many ways and I haven't had my surgery yet. He doesn't even have but maybe 30 lbs to loose I love him the way he is but he has developed a little bubble gut and he isn't happy with himself, so I support him the way he supports me, and I may have much more and longer to go than him but I know that he has my back the whole way through, which feels amazing!!! Good for you, and just keep that communication open and you guys will do awesome!!!

My husband did something similar. He drank shakes with me the first few months and dropped his carbs to a normal amount and cut his portions to a normal portion, Rather than eating 2 lbs of Pasta in a couple of days he cut it out altogether for instance. His reasoning is that he didn't want me to be this super hot woman and people wondering how he is with me, like I married down LOL

Whatever it takes. He lost about 50 lbs. He got frustrated and he hasn't lost much in the last few months. I noticed he is eating out a lot more. But so be it. Its not my body.

So keep up the support for him and be happy!

      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.
