Non-supportive husband

My provider recommended the sleeve about a year and a half ago and when I broached the subject on it, my husband was angry I'd even think about it and said a moderated diet and Crossfit (or insert whatever exercise here) is the only way to loose weight.

We have been married 26 years and he has watched me try and struggle with everything diet, exercise and weight related. But he stops drinking soda, or eats less chips and the weight falls off. I look at a salad with dressing on it and I gain 4 lbs. He doesn't understand what this means to me. To know I could have the surgery and work just as hard or harder to loose it but have success this time? Its making me crazy trying to get it in words he can understand.

Have any of you had a difficult time discussing with a resistant/angry spouse over WLS? I'm at a loss and not getting any younger and my lab work is only getting worse.

Thank you all for your time.
