Wanna Rant About Spouses & How Clueless They Can be sometimes?



Recommended Posts

I haven't had my surgery yet but my 2wk diet start January 1st 2014 and my mom bought me a waffle maker but my 13yr old happened to know what she bought and had a wonderful educational talk with her grandmother and instead she got me the bullet mixer. My husband bought exactly what I wanted which was a scale and I got a heating pad. All wonderful supportive gifts I hope they are just as supportive after then surgery.

I said, "But I don't want that." He replied, "It doesn't matter what you want." We laughed so hard we almost cried.

Thats the funniest thing I've heard in a long time!! You sound like a great couple.

Or from the husband of FORTY YEARS who knows I am one who loves receiving presents and hands me my "card" with money the DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS so that it "won't get lost" on Christmasday??? I give up.

awweeeee...! I'm sorry.... For the 40 years!! LmAoooo!! Just kidding. Why would it get "lost"?? It's just one more day?!! MEN!!

I do all the cooking in the family and when we first got married I told my wife that the first time I got kitchen appliances for my birthday or Christmas, that was the last meal I would ever cook. :)

lmaoooo!! What about for Valentine's Day, would you forgive her then?

My hubby got me an indoor bicycle trainer for my bike. Now I can ride in front of the tv while it is cold! He also got me a digital food scale. I had looked at both a while back and he actually remembered! GOLD STAR

Like when it comes to gift-giving. Or What we should be eating.

Ummmm you mean like when you get a four slice toaster and an ice cream maker for Christmas?

Re-gift time! This post made me LOL though, sometimes I wonder if they put any thought into these things.

I'm glad he didn't use them on me. He was just a speed bump. It's all good now. My husband now is awesome and has been my best support in this journey and almost all of the journeys I've gotten myself into in the last 20+ years.

And this year we were super romantic. We bought each other a new furnace for Christmas this year. The old one only blew cold air and we were headed out of town to visit my family in the east coast two days later. Being with my folks and sisters and nieces for the first time in over 20 years was the best gift!

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
