Thanks for all the input, guys! I already buy pretty much all organic food (although I'm a vegetarian so I don't have to worry much about the meat cost!) My big problem in life is eating good food but WAY too much of it. That's why I think the sleeve might just be the answer to my prayers :thumbup1:

Okay, here's kind of a weird question...since you've been sleeved, about how much $$$ do you think you're saving on grocery bills in a week/month/however often you shop for groceries?

Woohoo! that must have felt awesome :sad0:

Ooops...I did a search AFTER I posted this and see there have already been discussions on this topic. Thanks!

I'm seriously considering the VSG, but I notice pretty much everyone talks meat, meat, meat as post-recovery foods. Are there any vegetarians on this board? What do you guys eat?

Thank you all for the suggestions. I *really* appreciate it! What the hubby doesn't know, though, is that I'm not holding back because of him. Only thing holding me back is the $$$! If I had the money right now, I'd do it whether he agreed or not. It's trying to convince him that the money is worthwhile that will be the greatest challenge, I think.

I *wish* my husband was only worried about me not waking up.

I really would like to get WLS, but my husband is convinced it's the "cheater's way out." It really hurts my feelings....I don't think anyone knows how it feels to be fat unless they've been there themselves. They don't realize that not it damages you physically and mentally. I haven't had a photo taken of myself in about 5 years because it disgusts me to see it. My knees hurt. My legs hurt. I sweat like crazy. I get out of breath all the time. I'm pre-diabetic. If he knew how all that feels....if only.

Anyone have an suggestions on dealing with a situation like this? He's normally very supportive...but not about this. He believes I haven't "tried hard enough" to warrant it, whatever that means. :001_tongue:
