solimama 2 Posted May 31, 2014 my husband just doesn't get it. no matter how many times I've explained nutrition weight losd exercise.. I would love to have some support" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted May 31, 2014 Not too long ago, I watched an episode of My 600 lb Life. There was a story of Zsalynn, who's husband was not supportive, to say the least. He would laugh at her, tempt her, tell her he liked her fat and he didn't want "a hot dog if he could have a steak". It was really sad. So, so sorry for ur lack of support. I coulda sworn that was in any marriage vows - but I could be wrong (I know that I'm wrong but it should be there). I hope he doesn't try to sabotage ur efforts... let us know how things r going. If u need someone to talk to, pm me anytime. Ull get all the support u need on this site. Good luck! 1 solimama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We will be your support group, and happy for you. Put yourself first for a change. Most of us never did that. You do not have to keep explaining or justifying, just plod on, and pretty soon you will have a lighter step! Hugs!

solimama 2 Posted June 1, 2014 I am so happy to hear from you all! thank you all! well I am presurgery.. waiting for approval from uhc.. I need 6 months documented diet and exercise although my 3 months at ww don't count.. I picked Dr marema in st Augustine fl.. I am very worried post surgery with meal planning bc I have 3 kids under 5! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted June 1, 2014 Six months will pass anyway so you might as well have this plan, as I told my husband. 3 kids under 5 are easy to feed. You can cook and freeze meals prior to surgery, or cook in the crockpot, healthy chicken Soups and such. You cannot lift them! I picked up something a week after surgery, and had really bad pain. Have you been going to a doctor who documented your weight, and would that count? Six months will pass very quickly as you get your ducks (and kids) in a row and prepare for the surgery! Keep reading, asking questions, and being informed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
