    jujubslim got a reaction from greensleeve in Do u ever wonder how people here eat such a perfect diet - all the time?   
    Personally, I strive to be one of those perfect eaters. I'm only 5 weeks out so it's all still new to me. I know I won't be perfect but that's my goal. My thinking is what I've done up to this point in my life isn't working. I didn't put my body through these drastic measures to keep abusing it. For me it's important to be accountable and aware of what I'm eating so I faithfully log everything, that's what works for me. I certainly don't pass judgement on others, but I'm certainly going to try my hardest to stay away from those trigger foods, I've had enough of that junk to last a lifetime.

    I had surgery 3/17 too, I've lost 21lbs and the scale hasn't moved in 5 days. That's ok, it's normal. Just keep following your plan and you'll keep losing. Your body just needs a break to catch up. Expect this to happen throughout your journey.

    jujubslim got a reaction from StayingStrong in Day 3 and so uncomfortable!   
    This really is the worst of it. I think most people have buyers remorse the first few days. You'll be surprised how quickly you're feeling better in the next day or 2. I struggled eating and getting fluids in, but each day I made more and more progress. By a week out I was feeling much much better. Good luck! I'm 4 weeks post op and I still have days where I can't get my fluids and Protein in, but those days are happening less and less.

    Took me about a week after surgery to see movement. After all the gas and fluids they pumped in me at the hospital it took awhile for it to leave my system

    You need to tell him as soon as possible considering you've already made the commitment and put money down. I'm sure he's going to take it even harder since you did everything without discussing it. I'd highly recommend you find a marriage counselor asap. You have some major communication issues. Sorry to be so blunt, but I'd be so heartbroken if my hubby didn't trust me enough to share something so big and life altering

    I am also going to be blunt: y'all's marriage communication is f'd up.
    To me this is like not telling your husband you're pregnant.... And then he just comes home from work one day and there's a new addition on the house that you had built and you're just hanging out with a baby he didn't know about.
    I am also going to advocate counseling - he's perhaps treating you like a child by being condescending and not recognizing your real concerns.... But you're inviting it by hiding and sneaking around like an irresponsible teenager!
    The fact that you're doing all this with "your money" doesn't make it okay, just like if he walked into a new addition on the house and you had a new baby it wouldn't be magically OK just because the baby is genetically his and you paid for the new construction yourself...
    I do want to be clear: I am not at all saying that you are wrong here, not am I saying you're right. I am just saying that "marriage" and "communication" does NOT WORK LIKE THIS. There are clearly some real issues between you guys if it's come to this, and you both need to recognize that.
    That kind behavior with that amount of money with no notice or warning is symptomatic of a bipolar / manic episode. Please talk to someone professional!!

    You may want to double check your weight loss benefit. If you get the band and God forbid there are issues that prevent it from working for you your insurance may not cover another surgery.
