I just HAD to tell you all this one

So, more than anyone else at OH, you all know how crappy husband has treated me since I came home from my RNY. I'm now down almost 130 lbs which is within pounds of being "half" of my former self. I saw my surgeon the other night, he said I'm doing just fine and that losing a few more pounds is no biggie. Mark was "threatening" to tell Doc that I'm "trying" to lose more weight. I told Doc what I eat and Doc told him I am not starving myself. LOL So, Doc's giving me some praises and then it come out of Mark's mouth....."Doc, I'm thinking about doing it". My eyes got huge and I said "doing what?". Then he says it....he's considering RNY. It took all I had NOT to fall off the exam table laughing. I didn't laugh. You'd have all been proud. But, I did tell him in front of my doc that "what goes around comes around and if you think I'm waiting on YOU hand and foot post-op you're crazier than sh*t!". I thought Doc was going to spit his OptiSource drink laughing. My doc knows EVERYTHING about how "well" I was taken care of post-op through the last almost 14 months. My husband LIVES to eat appetizer, soup or salad, main course and huge dessert. Does he really think he can do that post-op? Sure, I eat my meal and might have a little dessert later. We all know I'm NOT the poster child for RNY. LOL But you CANNOT eat the way he eats post-op. So, I just thought I'd share this "laugh of the week" with my 05/07 family. I'm still laughing about it. I did tell him he should read "Weight Loss Surgery for Dummies" and THEN make up his mind. LOL Maybe I made this surgery look way too easy. LOL * Cyndi *

LOL Cyndi well he obviosuly does not have a clue!!! But you know maybe then he will finally "get" it!!!!!! I visited with a pt in the hospital the other day who has a husband that was against her having surgery. She has a LONG road ahead I am sure!

Wow! That was a good one. I hear a lot of us WLS-ers not having support from our partners. I feel fortunate that my Hottie Man has been great. He was worried in the beginning, but always supported my decision. My only issue is that he's somewhat a silent supporter. He never has been much of a communicator, though.

Hi Cyndi, My husband was the same way but not quite as bad as your husband treated you. But I am so sick and tired of hearing from my husband and daughter that I look like I am dying and I look like a skelton. I am down to 158 and I am 5 ft 11 in so I am really thin and feel good about myself but they make me feel so ugly and old like an old hag. I am sick of it. I told them that they are all just jealous. Why can't people just be happy for us. It's irritating me because I don't want my self-esteem to go down the toilet again. I behind you all the way....you look beautiful and your husband is justs afraid some hunk will hit on you. Love ya, Esther
