If hes like my partner he is more worried about you leaving him than he is the money....hes prob having thoughts going thru his head that once your skinny minnie then you'll want to go look for someone better. Before I got the band-several years ago I was successful at losing 55lbs ( I did gain it back)...I felt great but my bf at the time (now hubby) started acting different and made comments about me leaving him...we did end up breaking up for awhile though..he needed to gain his self confidence...anyhow we got back together and hes made a couple of comments about leaving but we're married and I just sat down with him and told him how I felt about that and hes been fine since.....you may want to consider letting him talk to a counselor or something.....GOOD LUCK!!

A lot of times both genders will stay or settle with someone because of their weight. The other partner can suspect this, and feel like they may not be able to treat someone the same when they lose weight, that's my personal opinion, not specifically on your situation but in general. This whole process is very emotional.

      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.
