I feel like my partner isn't even trying to eat better



Recommended Posts

Consideration for your feelings is one thing but this is about your choices, your health and your journey.

I have a husband of 44 yrs has never been overweight and is a junk food junkie. Hes very supportive of my choices but I don't expect him to do a lot of changing. I have to do that, it's how bad do I want it???

That being said, if he were dangling a piece of my favorite pie,or pizza in front of me saying "Come on you know you want it" I'd be the first to smack it out of his hand.lol

But him eating my favorite foods that may also be his he isn't at fault.

Find some new favorite healthy choices and if you're in liquid mode preop or post op.Walk away. .

The best things in life are.worth the wait.

Just sayin! !

It has been 2 months since my surgery and all of my eating habits have changed for the better. Sometimes I do slip up but my body quickly reminds me EAT HEALTHIER! My boyfriend however is eating worse and worse everyday, It is already a struggle to say no temptation and so it's even more difficult when he's eating all the foods I cannot everyday. Am I just being a brat because I can't have it and he can? :blink: :blink: :blink:

Disclaimer..........I've not read a single response in this thread.

You are most likely already well advised on this..........I'm coming in hot.........and late, lol.

What I'm about to say.....is advice I've taken myself.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOURSELF !!!!!!!!!!

Life is all about choices we make and the results of those choices. food is a great example.

Do your thing and let others do theirs.

Rock your results and be proud of that.

For some reason I don't have that problem I prepare 3 meals for my husband everyday and I'm just as happy sitting next to him sipping my purees. I don't even have the desire to eat food like I used to but I eat more so to keep healthy. That's effect this VGS has on 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.
