Guest guest Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Hi Bridge!!! We almost have the same date! I had my surgery on the 26th!!! :-) Glad to hear you are feeling well. I'm doing well too! I'm so ready to go home! What is your hubby having a hard time w/?? My family has been great. My fiance is a dream! He knows this is going to be a good thing for me. That it will help to make me healthy! I have felt hunger pains every once in a while. I just drink drink drink!! I'm on a full liquid diet. I can have whatever I can get thru a straw. But, I'm not drinking much other than clear stuff. I added a protein shake this morning. Made me a lil rumbly. Just have to take it one day at a time and slowly add new things in. And I have to do tiny sips!! But, I'm making it. It gets better every day!! And I just keep reminding myself of the outcome. This is a small sacrifice for the long term goal!!! I had the same procedure. The RNY. I know I made the right decision!!! :-) I'm feeling better already! kikib1075 wrote: > Hey everyone, > I am a newbie to Gastric bypass and online support groups so please > bear with me.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 hey lisa, My husband feels like I made this life changing choice without thinking of how it would effect him and oour child. They can eat whatever, no problem. While I was in the hospital he had Mcs and Candy ( in my room). He dosen't understand why I'm upset. I explained that i dont expect him to quit eating just to be considerate of my feelings. I know its hard for him too. I am excited for the future. I cant wait to start losing. I've only lost 2 1/2 lbs so far. Bridge Quote
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Thanks for the support, Its really nice to have people who understand what I'm going through. Bridge Quote
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Wow, that's ruff........If you went to rehab for alcohol would he bring a six pack when he came to visit? Of course not, people don't get it sometimes. I'm sorry you had to sit through that. Stay strong, it will be worth all the hard work!

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 He doesn't understand that you made this choice so that you could be healthier and be around longer for him & your child! He needs to understand that too!!! That was very mean of him to have McD's & candy in your room. My fiance would leave the room if I asked him to when I was on my pre-op diet & he wanted to eat. But, it never bothered me. I hope your hubby comes around. :-) The support will make all the difference in the world!! I don't know what I've lost so far. I haven't been on a scale since the day before surgery. kikib1075 wrote: > hey lisa, > My husband feels like I made this life changing choice without thinking > of how it would effect him and oour child.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 Hi Bridge, this is Nina and I had my surgery on 10-11-05 in San , TX to date I have lost 134lbs. I just wanted to put my 2 cents in if I may. My husband did the same thing to me and I had to lay into him. He just didn’t realize what he was doing to me. The thing that gets me most is the birthday cake, he makes me cut it and get them pieces of the cake. I make a face and then he realizes what he is doing and then gets up from the couch or table and does it himself. Now the food I bring it in for them. I haven’t really craved the sweets since surgery; sometimes its ice cream and then I’ll get a scoop of something sf and that will do me until the next time I crave something. The food wise doesn’t really bother me, cuz I will get Mcs and just eat the cheese burger no bun and it does me, and I only eat about a 1/3 of it to a ½ depending on if I am really hungry. Welcome to the losing side.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 I know how you feel Bridgett.Although my husband is afraid to eat at all in front of me so he doesn't eat! He does however keep drinking beer everynight even though he knows I used to enjoy it & can't have it!
