I feel like my partner isn't even trying to eat better



Recommended Posts

Consideration for your feelings is one thing but this is about your choices, your health and your journey.

I have a husband of 44 yrs has never been overweight and is a junk food junkie. Hes very supportive of my choices but I don't expect him to do a lot of changing. I have to do that, it's how bad do I want it???

That being said, if he were dangling a piece of my favorite pie,or pizza in front of me saying "Come on you know you want it" I'd be the first to smack it out of his hand.lol

But him eating my favorite foods that may also be his he isn't at fault.

Find some new favorite healthy choices and if you're in liquid mode preop or post op.Walk away. .

The best things in life are.worth the wait.

Just sayin! !

It has been 2 months since my surgery and all of my eating habits have changed for the better. Sometimes I do slip up but my body quickly reminds me EAT HEALTHIER! My boyfriend however is eating worse and worse everyday, It is already a struggle to say no temptation and so it's even more difficult when he's eating all the foods I cannot everyday. Am I just being a brat because I can't have it and he can? :blink: :blink: :blink:

Disclaimer..........I've not read a single response in this thread.

You are most likely already well advised on this..........I'm coming in hot.........and late, lol.

What I'm about to say.....is advice I've taken myself.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOURSELF !!!!!!!!!!

Life is all about choices we make and the results of those choices. food is a great example.

Do your thing and let others do theirs.

Rock your results and be proud of that.

For some reason I don't have that problem I prepare 3 meals for my husband everyday and I'm just as happy sitting next to him sipping my purees. I don't even have the desire to eat food like I used to but I eat more so to keep healthy. That's effect this VGS has on me.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
