So I have lost alot of weight and my wife gains it..



Recommended Posts

So I have this problem I have lost 82 lbs since having my surgery a year ago almost to date. My wife has gained half of everything I have lost. With this she has grown distant, doesn't want much of anything to do with me let alone sexually. She has never been much of an affectionate person but still she would have sex at least once a month. It's been like 3 so what should I do she told me it is my problem figure it out went to a psychiatrist and she was telling me the opposite did couples counseling and that was a joke. Anyone else have this problem with there spouse resenting them for losing weight and basically stopped caring anything about them? :):tongue2:

She told you it was your problem to figure out? That doesn't bode well for your relationship, I'm sorry to say.

It could be that she is really mad about something, but not talking about it is, quite frankly, not very adult.

A agree with Mac. If she is angry/frustrated/anxious about something and yet won't talk about it, and says it's your problem to figure out, this is not a good sign.

I would suggest you continue counseling for yourself if she won't go to couples counseling, and keep the lines of communication open. Do not mention her weight at all; focus on yourself.

Time to talk to a lawyer and get yourself protected. Sorry to say it, but y'all are most likely done, and you don't want to be blindsided later.

Yep, consult a lawyer and hide the goods. Just in case, eh....... You do want to minimize the exit wounds if it comes to that.

I WOULD not recommend hiding anything. If that comes out in a potential divorce, it could be devastating to the OP.

The fact that you only had sex 1 time per month before would of been cause for concern... Her not being affecionate before is cause for alarm. I am sorry but it doesn't really sound like it was working before the surgery and she is even more distant now. I would confront her about counseling if you really love her. Set a timeline to see if theres improvements... If there isn't move on.

      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.
