Unsupportive partner



Recommended Posts

So my partner hasn't been very supportive of my upcoming surgery! During an argument tonight he referred to my savings for my surgery as my "fat money" an I looked at him disputed and his response was "well it's true the reason your getting surgery is cos your fucking fat" .. I'm so hurt right now... ????

Please don't let anyone or anything bring you down. I know it hurts but just keep going and let your actions speak louder than your words. When I have heard enough, I go Walking or cycling. You will do. You will conquer.

Once insults are hurled at you they can't be taken back. Life is too short to live with a person that degrades you.

Is he scared that once you start to lose weight, you won't need him or want to be with him anymore? Sounds like he just wants to bring you down and for things to stay the way they are.

So sorry you are going thru this. Surgery can be hard enough, without any complications coming from those that are around you x

It's hard when your going through such a drastic change in your life and when you need support the person who should be your biggest supporter isn't. It's not just that he is unsupportive, he sounds cruel, with those comments.

You need a support system to give you the very best chance at success. Maybe asking him why he is unsupportive of you.

It's a time where you need to make tough choices and ultimately, your the only one who can make them.

Apart from this horrible comment do you usually have a good relationship?

My surgery is today and I can relate. My husband said to me during and argument that I'm a fat a## and that's why I need surgery to lose weight. He made me feel so low. I was proud of what I was doing til he tore me down. It was unforgivable.

It's usually ok but when we argue it can get full on and he can be quite nasty & say some hurtful things. We've got 2 children together. 2 year old & 3 month old, so you'd think he would be a lot nicer but that isn't the case. It's not the first time his put me down about my weight. He always apologies and says he only said it in anger but I just don't know when enough is enough..

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
