I saw the dietician Today. I feel good he measure my belly. Wow! I have a 33 inch waist it was about 42 inch before surgery & diet. He advice me on food & such. He told me he doesn't want me eating anything with fat. So make sure it's zero. I guess now I have to watch out for sugar & fat.

I come home feeling good next appointment in 2 weeks. Tell hubby why the f** did I do that for. He starts with why do you need a dietician for? You don't know how to eat? Who you were raised by didn't they teach you the right way to eat? I was like ok I'm sorry I mention anything. I won't say anything else. He says my 4 year old needs one. (She has a nutrionist & she's still not gaining enough weight,but she's fine.)

Now I'm feeling sorta bad. Like only this group & Facebook has support. I feel sad like no one cates but I'll be fine. Thanks for reading

Thank you I seem to be putting one hundred percent into this life change but he doesn't see it. I feel he thinks it's one of those many diets it's for a few days or months & I will blow up again. I'm not here to prove him wrong or right. I'm doing what's best for me. I haven't changed. I cook daily & take care of the kids. the only thing changing is my body. My personality. I was like not talking to much now I walk in anywhere. Hello make a joke or two. I feel happy even though when I come home I'm sad & depress. I'm happy exercising. I'm happy when he isn't home. He makes me feel bad about my self.

What!!! 33 inch waist - thats Cra Cra (as the kids say!). You are doing such a good job! You know you hubby doesn't know the right stuff to stay so don't worry about it. That's what we r here for. Having a nutritionist doesn't mean you don't know how to eat. It just means you want to learn new or better things. We go to school to learn etc. So what things are you going to start eating?

@mamiof3kids, all I can say is when I had my RNY 8 yrs ago I went through the same exact things u r going through. I decided I would give him time because it was a huge adjustment for all of us. I gave him three years after that and he never came around. All I can say is talk to him & express how you feel, if he is smart he will listen if not u will get tired like I did. Good luck and focus on your journey. Us latin women tend to put everyone else before ourselves and we do not realize that we owe it to ourselves to be happy!

My hubby will never be an understanding man. He feels he is better then me(that's my feeling) I think he will never accept my change & new life style. I'm at the point that I don't care anymore. I will attend my appointments & do what I have to do & ignore his idiot ass.

I'm the kind of person that will call a idiot a idiot to his face I'm not pc. And I don't believe any one should take abuse from anyone what makes one person better then any other NOTHING . I have seen that my wife's ex has done to her and after 14 years we have been married she has come out of the shell he put her in. As for kids is it better to take the abuse to keep the family together and be unhappy. As young as my wife's kids were they still new what was going on 14 years later they think their dads a dick and have grow up to be great kids

The science of nutrition has changed since we were kids and culturally you have possibly learned some dietary things that aren't considered the healthiest option (this goes for every culture). There is no shame in getting professional help to better yourself.

Your hubby just isn't on board with all this change and may be scared that you will become so confident that you will cheat or leave him. He could be seeing more about himself that he doesn't like. This is no excuse for him to be a butthead either way. This seems like a wonderful and safe place to vent and talk to others for support!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
