It's been 9 days since I was sleeved and my husband is already acting like he has issues with the upcoming weight loss. He expressed to me days before the surgery that he would rather split now rather than to have me become slim and leave him for the first guy that smiles at me and that he is waiting for me to get fully back on my feet before he splits because he doesn't want to get hurt (what kind of simple minded foolishness is that?!). Anywho, I have endured a lot of manipulation and mental abuse over the years from my husband and I feel this is another plight to get me to do what he wants me to do which is to make myself invisible to all other men, and some women, in the world! We all know that's impossible so he will try and make me feel bad for my decision to want to live a healthier lifestyle (my severe sleep apnea never comes to mind when he's spurting his crap, all he sees is a smaller more outgoing me). How can I deal with this kind of behavior during this fragile time in my life?

This is true, and I have, I just don't know why I let the things he says get to me so much. I can, and have, done bad by myself and I'm well aware that he is more afraid of losing me than I am of losing him, my question is, why do hurt people have to hurt others in order to make themselves feel better? It's crazy but I see it everywhere I turn. My parents raised me to be independent and strong, and the one person that's supposed to love me for that doesn't and the fact that I'm cool with his feelings and started to ignore his foolishness, he's trying to turn up and I really don't want to resort to doing what he does to hurt him. Trying MY BEST TO TAKE THE HIGH ROAD

I'm 7 days post-op, and although I advised my nutritionist and doctor that I had issues with dairy products, including eggs, I was still advised to used the whey protein until I start my pureed diet. I don't think I'm getting the protein because it comes right back out, if you know what I mean. I switched to the soy protein powder and even though I can keep it down, it still gives me a slight rumble in my tummy. Any other suggestions? 2wks is a long time to struggle with this issue, I need protein.

Going to GNC in the morning, thanks!

That's a great idea, thanks
