Talking Update on us

Wow! Thanks to everyone for your support! Dh and I are doing much better and he is not as negative as before. He gets sad when I talk about food (or lack there of) that I can eat, but I reassure him that this pureed stage will be over, and we can sit as a family like before.

We are calling eachother honey again, and spending "quality time" together..... so I am much more comfortable!

thanks again, you are all super!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

It is hard in the early stages to ever imagine enjoying food again, and of course the results haven't kicked in enough to feel like what you are going through is worth it, but beleive me, it will all be great in the end, so cherish the quality time you and DH are having now, cos it will be even better after!!!!!!

I remember early out, my DH had a sad, puppydog look on his face and said, "Are you ever going to cook nice dinners again like you used to?" He wasn't whining..he was serious. I didn't realize until then what an important part of our family life and our marriage my cooking was to him. I assured him that, within weeks, I would cook again.

And I do. Made Beef Beurgenion (or however you spell it) yesterday. Gonna make a seafood chowder today.

Glad to hear things are working well for you guys! That's the best possible outcome!!

Over the years, you've made a significant investment in each other, emotionally and in other ways, too. As long as there's an ember glowing somewhere in the coals, I've always felt it's better to fan it back into full flame than it is to throw water on it and go looking in the woods for some more fire starters.

I would hate to go through the training again that we each do with the other (even though I'm not even gonna try to figure out who's training whom, and how well!! ) We know each other's thoughts and can finish each other's sentences. Ever pass the salt just seconds before he asks for it? Why start all over again if you still have something to build on?

Sounds like you both want to make it succeed. Keep working at it, and it'll pay off hugely!!

This is a good news thread!!

I'm so glad to read that things are going better for you. For me, it's my Mom who has been so difficult to deal with during this process. My dh has been very supportive, thankfully. Anyway, I'm 3 months out, and now that she realizes that yes, I DO eat, and I am continuing on with my life, and things are good, she has mellowed out. I know her issue was fear of losing the "me" that she knew. I would say our relationship is pretty much back to normal - but last night we were shopping together, and they had an outrageous clearance on a dress that I loved - so I bought it in my current size (18), but I also bought the smallest one they had, a 12, to wear next spring when the weather warms again. You should've seen the look on her face... She's a 16, and it just hit her that I will be smaller than she is in a few months. I think we're got a new hurdle to jump with her.

Anyway, my point is, that there may be other hurdles, but with love and commitment, the two of you will continue to find your way through them. These challenges are really not that different than the other types of challenges we face in our lives (money, illness, job stress, etc.). You'll find your way through them.

Best of luck to you for continued success!
