Relationships



Recommended Posts

Just wondering by having rny if your relationship with your spouse has changed? Ive been heavy for 30 of my 40 years so this will be life changing for me in all ways. My husband and I just got married a few months ago, and for the last 3 years its been a food and drinking fest. Hes very supportive, and positive about my surgery. He also says hes going to change for the better too, by running again, and trying to lose weight with me. The thing is ive heard this so many times before with us. We workout lose a little bit, and then give up and go bavk to our old ways. I am so ready for this surgery, ready to make life altering changes, I just hope my new marriage will survive.

I haven't had the RNY yet, 4 days away.:blink: I have had the lap band and when I lost, about 30 lbs everything was fine. I think as long as your husband is on board with you losing and doesn't try to sabotage you it will all work out. My husband is diabetic so really our food choices will have to be the same, low carb, sugar free ect. It will be easy for me. Maybe when he sees you doing so well, it will motivate him to do better! Good luck!:D

      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.
