First Consult! Husband jumping the supportive ship...



Recommended Posts

Your husband needs to attend as many visits with you as he can, so he has a chance to ask questions and get educated about the procedure. You being over weight is just as much of a risk and you are doing this to improve your life and be around longer.

I want to be sleeved and when I read these posts I get a bit freaked. Been to seminars, met doc, waiting on psych evaluation. Like you I can make impulsive decisions. I told Dr on Thursday if we can get it done around 10/10 unfortunately (or fortunately) I have to wait for available psyche til 10/28. This will probably drag out til Jan. I have my own biz and need to be in good health for thanksgiving and Xmas when we are busy. I think a lot like your hubby and just the thought of something going wrong scares me. It is a MAJOR surgery. I love good nutrition, no fast food, processed or chemicals and the idea of having to take supplements and Vitamins forever is another worry. I take some now but not necessary like with surgery. The bottom line in the long run is learning to stick with Portion Control and this is another tool. Seeing so many gain back so much weight is my other concern. So much to think about.

So I feel like I went through something similar. My husband wanted me to wait as well. I am currently scheduled for Oct 6th. My concerns that I voiced to him were that at the moment I do not have any Co-Morbidies like diabetes or heart disease. However, in one year it's very likely that I would which would in turn create more problems. As you said you are scared your health may change if you do not do something now. He won't truly understand that part of it. But do your best to put his mind at ease. Show him success stories and before and after pics. Watch YouTube videos of people's stories. All of this might help.

      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.
