Update: Had a long talk with my husband... we are on the same page now.. he was just scared. Thankfully he is on board more now

Anyone go through with the sleeve without the support of your significant other? I have only told a few people my parents, brother and sister in law and of course my husband and kids. I have everyone's full 100% support except I think my husbands. He says he will support me but doesn't agree with it. I really don't think he thinks I will do it. I am determined and know I want this more than anything. I am hoping when it gets to be time he will be there completely like he has been with every other aspect of our lives. However, I will do this with or without him hopefully with tho. Lol

Mine has been through this twice now with me. This time he said do what I did ( he did this whole clean eating, no sugars or processed foods) and lost over 100lbs this year. I go you know I have tried so many diets and I struggle and need some extra help. I go I just need you to support me with my choice and he goes I totally do. So maybe just sit him down and explain the pros and cons and tell him you need him behind you. He may support you now but can also be scared as it is major surgery so he can come across to you as he may not bee 100% behind you.

      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.
