Funny WL support story



Recommended Posts

I love watching shows like My 600 lbs Life since I started on my journey toward surgery. My husband does not watch these shows but he is typically in the room when I am watching.

He has been supportive of me. He cooks healthy, he makes healthy shopping lists, he looks for healthy recipes and gently and sweetly refuses when I want to cheat. After a recent office visit with my surgeon I thanked him for being so supportive. He replied with "Yeah! I do not want to be like those dead beats on My 600 lbs Life! I have to be a good and supportive husband! You can do this!".

...apparently he listens to the show while I watch.

Do you have any funny stories?

I clench my fists and want to pound Dr Now to a pulp. Told Tomkitten , " He' s an Old Man, that would not be very nice!" , pulled up his bio, He's only a little over a year younger than me! Does this make it a Fairer Fight? I would tell him to walk a few miles in my moccasins if they weren't so worn down! I think he is abrasive , snide and he would be my surgeon only on pain of Death, and Praise God, I have lost enough he never will be! I'm sure he would say 120+ pounds in 9 months was TOO SLOW, well guess what" Baby-cakes" it works for ME!

I'm glad your husband listened. I've never seen that show. My hubby has been super supportive.

And I think your Grady Tomcat is a treasure, you had just better keep him, they don't often make models that fine!👪

      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.
