female only Im ticked- husband losing faster

When I started this journey ( I am still pre-op, Hopefully being sleeved in July) my husband was dead-set against me doing this. Then he caught me reading WLS for Dummies. He flew off the handle. At that point I told him straight out tough-****, I am going to have the surgery regardless of his opinion. I reminded him that as my husband it was his responsibility to support my decisions not make me follow his.

I pretty much went through the exact same thing with my husband, and I responded to him exactly like you did. However, he is now on board without making comments or being negative. I'm even preparing him for when I go and get plastic surgery in a year or two. I get sleeved on June 18th, so hopefully all goes well. He too decided to lose weight and has dropped what I've lost in a 4 month period, in only one month! Ughhhh! Drives me nuts!

My fiance eats junk and stays skinny....he has always been thin though. I'm not upset about this though, I dont see it as a competition, I want us both the be able to grow old together. If something like that ticked me off then id be upset every time I saw anyone eat because a lot of people eat more than me, and I am still pre op

This whole thread is hilarious! My hubby and I did Weight Watchers together about 10 years ago. he lost 40lbs and I lost 5lbs! I was PISSED!!!! But there is a larger issue here when it come's health. As annoying as our beloved's eating habits, chewing of chips, slurping of ice cream, attempts at sabotage and their propensity to lose wright more easily may be, the continual bad food choices could eventually lead to serious health problems for them. As much as they irritate us we still want them to be healthy and be with us for many years, don't we? Even the skinny guys can have heart attacks. A lot of it is genetic but food choices and exercise can really help control the type 2 diabetes. So maybe talking to him about your concerns for his health and also telling him frankly but gently that you find the junk-food consumption and surrounding debris field disgusting and a big turn-off will get him thinking more about his choices and behavior. After all if you ate in that manner he would probably feel the same way.
