I think you should encourage your wife to attend a seminar or support group with you. Once she really understand the procedure and what's involved she might look at it differently. It's great that you are taking the extra step to try and convince your partner. Most people that don't have a weight problem think you can just push back from the table, eat smaller portions, exercise a bit and lose the weight but it does not work that way. Tell your wife you are going to have the surgery because it will make you feel better about you. Tell her you need her by your side to support you through this challenging time. You want her to excercise with you so that you can grow older together and enjoy life like it's suppose to be with a couple. I wish you much success. I have not been band but I am going through the procedures now. It sure makes it easy to have a supporting spouse. My spouse is not overweight but he has seen what it's done to me. Enjoy your journey. I pray that your wife comes around.

      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.
