Exactly and exactly. And not to beat a dead horse... no, he rarely to never compliments me. Its a long bone of contention for me-- which I was hoping would be different with something this dramatic. It isn't-- I'll get over it. This is particularly why I stay away from mentioning anything about my husband on any of these sites. People will take your small hiccup and turn it into the end of your marriage. Venting is best done amongst friends and family, and even then you've got to be careful. I've learned that there are mutual friends of me and my husband, and there are friends of our marriage. The difference is friends of our marriage listen and react (or not) in the interest of our marriage- not on behalf of me or my husband, but what's best for our marriage. They understand that I can't stand him on Mondays and Thursdays but every other day he's great! Lol they know that when I vent, it's just that- a vent- nothing more, nothing less. If you wanted or needed to end your marriage for whatever reason, I trust you'd find another means of communication and advice from a more trusted source. Take it in stride! Oh and here's your daily " YOU LOOK GREAT GIRL!! That weight loss is doing you good! Rock it, Sis!"

Ok will do!

Chalk it up to clueless jackassed-ness. Just wait til he's trying to get some of your goodies when that weight drops. Then tell him " you need to do something over the top for me!" Lol as you can see, I'm very much a smart ass.

My doc said that when working out , it's during those plateau periods that your body is trading fat for muscle. You're building muscle which weighs more and losing the fat so it can seem as if your weight is not moving, but you'll be losing inches elsewhere. Try that (tracking your inches) and see what you get. Also, the demon scale doesn't control everything. Look at how your clothes fit, your energy levels, all the little NSVs that your body has for you.

Got back into my fav XL shirt!!!! I was so disappointed when it got too tight last year and it's been hanging in my closet looking lonely. I decided to try it on today and I have belly and boob room! I walk and it blows in the air! Whoo hoo!!!

***not listening***!!!! I rebuke all boob shrinkage energy in the air!!

I'm not quite 2 wks PO and I'm still struggling. I'm about 30/40 grams protein and about 32 oz water a day. My surgeon said that's fine for right now on my visit with him yesterday. He said it will increase as the swelling in my stomach goes down and I'm able to hold more.

You know what will happen if I gently tell him I need his verbal support, he'll ask me why. I know this from other experiences of verbalizing a need from him. Then I'll be lectured in how I shouldn't have gone into surgery relying on support from others. On the rare occurrence that I won't get this lecture, he'll compliment right then and there, and never again. That's fake. I may as well send myself flowers. So I chose to rant. I've been married more than 10 years, I completely know the level of asinine thinking I'm connected to. Well damnit come get your compliments from us! Lol you look good girl! Congrats on the decision for surgery and your recent weight loss !!! Keep it going! Operation coke bottle in full effect! * I will post this regularly for those of us with clueless husbands* ????????????

That's it!! Yea! You're on your way to the big fat APPROVED!Could be acid reflux. Did u leave the hospital with a script?Do it the same time every time, and I do it naked. Lol seriously though my clothes add 2-3 lbsI checked my weight and I'm down 19 lbs! Whoop whoop! Yes, my tummy looks smaller too but I don't know if it's weight or the fact that I got rid of the gas! LolYou gotta get your protein in too though. It'll help you feel better over all. Try isopure drinks or powders or the unflavored protein by companies like Unjury.It took me about a full week. I took DulcoGas to help because I wasn't burping or anything.Cat I probably do have to do puréed first. Darn it! I forgot about that stage. Thx for bursting my bubble...????I'm still on full liquids til Friday at most. That's my 2wk post op visit. I'm hoping for soft foods then! I'm craving cabbage! lolThx! ????
