It is really frustrating when my fiancé doesnt support wls. He thinks it's the easy way out. If i really wanted it i should do it the "right way!" It would be more rewarding and appreciative? Wtf

Hmmm...I'd run through those wedding vows online and think about what you're getting into. :(

I can assure you that it isn't the easy way out. Your fiance takes the easy way out by not supporting you any way he can and instead he is dismissive of the effort you are trying to make. You should continue on without any concern for what he has to say and instead you can hope he grows a set.

Tell him to take out 3/4 of his stomach and see, how easy it is . Those words just make my blood boil

My husband of 28 years isn't supportive either. Soon you will learn to ignore him. Most generally if it isn't about HIM, or it isn't HIS idea, it's wrong, so, I just ignore him. But that isn't stopping me from taking care of me. If he really loves you he will come along for the ride, and stick around just like the vows say! He is probably just worried about the risks, which, these days there are fewer than there used to be. Maybe he should have a discussion with the surgeon and voice his concerns. The surgeon can provide him with real statistics that are eye opening.

What do you want us to say?

Why don't you find a local support group and take him with you to one of the meetings. His lack of support could be something as simple as he isn't totally and completely informed. I have heard of many spouses that went to a support group meeting, and came out with a completely different outlook.

Just a suggestion...

My mom said the same thing and it infuriated me at the time. I am 2 days from surgery and despite her initial attitude she plans to be there to support me through the surgery. Once he see your determination, his attitude will likely change. If not, I guess that will be a clue to kind of husband you can expect.

I went through something similar with my fiancé and oldest daughter (she's 22).

Neither of them agreed with it and they both said the same thing "you're taking the easy way out." I proceeded and never gave them a thought. Its my health I was saving. It's the BEST thing I have ever done for myself. In the first month, I have lost 35 pounds. I'm off all medications and for the most part, I feel great!

Remember, It's YOUR body and YOUR decision. YOU have to live with yourself. There is NOTHING easy about this. It's a change that takes place from the inside out. You're mind has to be reprogramed on how you view food. You've lived your life this long eating the way you have. This is a tool that helps you reset per say, that thought process on food.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
