Since I have been with my husband I weighed more than himI went under him but then looked extremely unhealthy. I got to 136 and he is only 143 lbs. I joined the gym and gained muscle and now I weigh the same as him but he has a big belly. How strange.................

Beware: rant ahead--

OK, so I tell DH I've lost 30 lbs, and he says "Great! I've lost such-n-such pounds from working outside...blah blah blah...!" So now, we're the same. But wtf?? Get off my cloud! I tell him its easy for him to lose weight, and he's never had a problem with it anyway. Its a struggle for me, and this is supposed to be MY excitement, not his! He isn't un-supportive, but still doesn't totally get it. When my father-in-law found out how much I lost, he calmly said "Thats substantial." Substantial???!!! Is it just me? Or am I on some other planet???!!! All you guys here are my main support, as you can see, and I thank you!

My DH started dieting when I started the pre-op. Fast forward to today.....he has lost 31 pounds and I have only lost 16, and I am banded!!! Talk about frustrating.

      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.
