Loss of husband's support? :(



Recommended Posts

I am so sorry to hear about what you have been through and you are going through. There is no way in hell he should be saying this stuff to you whatsoever. You are correct he is showing his own insecurities but that does not make it okay. Just like I felt like my husband's comment was totally out of line.

My husband and I have been to counseling many times in part to work on our communication. No, I am not going to sweep this under the rug because it bothers me and therefore I need to talk to him about it. Do not let him bring you down, you have worked so hard to make yourself healthier. As tough as it may be, do not let him sabotage it.

Wow, les filles. My heart goes out to both of you. I don't have any advice. Just sending good energy and support from the field.

I think sometimes my husband is jealous that I have an awesome goal I'm working towards. Most of the time life just plods on and we all want something to go after. Also, he might be afraid you'll be all fine and sexy after and he won't be up to par. I know my husband has struggled with his weight but he doesn't qualify and now I'm gonna be the one in good shape...I think it hurts his ego. He still supports me but I wouldn't be surprised if he said something like that eventually.

Just wait till he sees the "After" effects....his attitude should change and you'll be the one in control.

Could he be scared that something could happen to you during the surgery or maybe insecure that you may want to leave him for another man after you lose the excess weight?

Speak to him and find out why, the open dialogue will help both of you express your concerns.

He is probably still supportive, maybe at that little moment in the heat of an argument, his mouth was running at 8,000RPM but his brain wasn't in gear.

My wife was never very supportive, she might say a few things on Facebook, but I go by people's actions and words expressed to me.

      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.
