Guest guest Posted January 18, 2001 Report Share Posted January 18, 2001 So, today after my shower I decided I would blow-dry my hair, and I got a hold of Amy's 2 curling irons and went to work. I thought I did a half way decent job. I came out of the bathroom and ask my husband, "Well, what do you think?" He laughed at me!! He said, "Now all you need to do is get rid of the gray! ha ha ha ha". I was so hurt! , I am usually pretty calm and mild mannered! But I am afraid I would have to rip his lips off for that! What a turd!!!! You look beautiful! Hang in there! *hugs* Becky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would like to sew his mouth shut so he couldn't say hurtful things to you. Have you let him know how much this really hurts you? For years my husband's " humor " was coming across in a hurtful way and he didn't realize how bad it was hurting me until I had to get really nasty with him and let him know how serious I was. It took some practice and time for him to get to the point where he doesn't say hurtful things very often now. This was how he was raised and he didn't realize he was being so critical or downright mean. Hope this helps some and I hope that you have had a good day and feel wonderful and beautiful!!!!!!!!

Have you let him know how > much this really hurts you? Hi Sandy, How are you doing? Yes, I told him he hurt my feelings, and I do believe he felt bad about it. After 21 years of marriage, he knew exactly what he was doing. Also, he has never, ever seen me " primp " before, and I think it threw him off guard, but still he had no right to say that. The other reason I think he felt bad was because he really warned Amy not to say anything. She did tell me honestly, she thought it looked nice, but ask if she could have a shot at styling it for me. I think since she has plenty of time on her hands this weekend, due to a grounding, I will let her try. Can't hurt anything. Thanks for the pep talk. You are so kind. Thats what I like about this place, people honestly care about each other. Lots of Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've now been married 26 years and it has only been the last couple of years that my husband has stopped saying hurtful things. Yes, he is very slow at coming around and he too always felt bad when he said something that was hurtful. He always apologizes, but as I told him it is not always easy to forget what was said. I don't think he says things out of meanness because he is a very caring individual. I just believe he doesn't understand how easy it is to slip back into old habits if you don't work hard at changing those patterns of behavior. You know, it is so wonderful to hear that there are other people out there married for a long time and still having to work at making the relationship work. There are times I've wondered why we just haven't gotten it down right yet. I know intellectually that any time two people live together there will be differences, however I've thought sometimes that he should know by now what he does or says that irritates me or hurts my feelings. Thanks for putting things in perspective for me. We have been through so much together as a couple and I realize that many couples do not make it through the difficult times. We have worked through so much and living with chronic illnesses together now has it own set of problems that I am just now learning to be more patient with.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Whew, that must be a relief that it won't be as invasive although I'm sure you're very upset to have to go through it again. At least I knew from the very beginning that I would have two surgeries. Since I had my upper and lower done separately, I didn't have to be wired and this time I was allowed to take the bands off after two weeks. Now I only have to wear them 50% of the time. I, too, am able to eat mushy foods now so that has made recovery much easier this time around. That should make a big difference to you as well. Hopefully you won't have as much of a problem with nausea this time either since your surgeon will anticipate it. Fortunately I don't remember vomiting after my first surgery but this time they must have given me something different because I never got nauseated after the second surgery. Also at home, for pain, I take Mepergan which has the anti-nausea medication, Phenergan, in it. That has worked very well for me and nausea was never a problem. It knocks me out for about 12 hours but I have my husband and parents here to help me with my one and two year old daughters. Good luck and Jan 31 will be here and gone before you know it. I love my new face and profile as it's emerging and it makes the surgeries totally worth it. > > > > Hey Irish - the few people I've known who did this a second > time > > > had > > > > a much easier go of it.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2003 Report Share Posted November 3, 2003 I could have written your words below!!! I am almost a year out and I have lost just a little more than you, so first off conrats on all your hard, hard work. As for the other topics, here is my info: Compliments: Sometimes I have hard time with these because it almost feels like people are saying you were soooo bad before and now you are great! That can be hard. But I am learning that the ones I take in are from close friends who are happy to see me m ore happy and moving better and feeling more alive. You have done a lot of hard work, this is very, very hard work, and you should feel proud. I am not su re what else to say about this. Pouch stretching: I am curious about this too. Sometimes I worry because I can eat more t han I used to. I can eat things I used to not beable to eat! It makes me kind of miss th e sick feelings that would tell me to stop. I think that as you get further out from surgery, you need to learn to use your new lifestyle skills of know what and how much to eat instead of just relying on your body to tell you it can't do anymore. That, of course, is easier said than done. I would lvoe to hear what others have to say too. Weightloss slowing: Mine has and it is hard. I just try to remember the advice of everyone here about more protien, water and exercise and have faith that it will keep working. It is also better on our bodies to lose weigh at a slower rate. And I also found that I lost more inches when my #'s on the scale stopped, or slowed down. Like my body was catching up. Keep us posted on your progress.. we are all here for you.

Does anyone else experience these feelings or concerns? I also struggle with excepting compliments from people. People who haven't seen me in such a long time can't get over the change or they can hardly recognize me without giving me a second look. I usually tell them " thanks " but usually in a tone like it's no big deal. Does anyone else struggle with this? I'm sure it's because I'm not used to receiving compliments from others. And finally sometimes I concerned that I can eat too much (at times) and I've already " stretched " out my pouch. Is the " pouch stretching " just a myth? And how big can it really be stretched out to? >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
