My Husband, My Rock, My Support



Recommended Posts

Over the years I've called him other things, for sure.

My husband loves big women, he never once said I looked bad or should lose weight. He does agree that health is at the forefront, so weight lose is paramount.

I had my surgery on September 9th and he has not left my side once. He is my rock and my primary cheerleader. He tells me several times a day how well I'm doing and always encourages me.

Now there are the messes in the kitchen, OMG, and the smelly dog, OMG. And he loves to sleep in, but with everything going on, he is by my side and rubs my back.

My husband, My Rock, My support.

Thank you baby.

My husband.... tries. He's moved into more of the care giver role since my spinal injury but I still do most things. He's mostly afraid I'm not going to cook him any food for 6 months lol.

That's so fantastic. Having that type of support is so incredibly helpful!!

My husband is very similar. Never has he told me I'm fat or to lose weight. But health is important - and he wants me healthy so we have 50 more years together. We own a baking business on the side and he's already been prepped on what cakes he needs to carve/decorate while I'm recovering. All this while still protecting & serving as a Police Sergeant at night. I know that once my surgery is over, he'll be the biggest cheerleader in my corner. I couldn't imagine going through this alone.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
