I told my husband about my decision to have surgery.



Recommended Posts

Hi I haven't told my husband yet as I am sure it will be a money thing with him too. Here in Switzerland insurance will not pay so I'm doing it on my own without his knowledge. I have told my best friend and she is very supportive but I will need you guys! I'm scheduled for sept.11th.......a bad omen?

hey travellady,

Exactly! I think that we r saying the same thing. U know him better than anyone. Maybe its just his way. I hope u didnt take offense to my previous post. Did I sound too straight forward? I just want to keep you encouraged. God knows u all keep me going and focused. I know that everything is going to turn out just fine.

My dh is one of thodeb unexcited types too. What works for me is not mention it at all. When he hearsb about it again we will be heading to the hospital.

If this was for him.... I would hear lapband all day everyday... Non-stop updates.

Yes, we are saying the same thing and no offense is taken. I really do appreciate all the support I am being given from this site. I feel all y'all understand the problems each one of us going through and we are in this together. :biggrin2::frown:

Curves: Since my dh is not talking about the surgery, I'm not discussing it anymore. He knows he cannot get me to change my mind, especially since it is for my health.:)

      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.
