rachel, my husband sometimes says remarks to get me down too. i think he is afraid i will run off with someone else since i lost weight. he wants to keep my self esteem low so i will stay with him. don't let him discourage you and cause you to do things to make your surgery fail. don't forget all that you went through. i try not to let him get to me and sometimes tell him i'm not going to cheat on him, but i might not be able to stay with him if he can't adjust to the new me. bring this up in your support group, maybe they can help.good luck.

Rachel My Dr had me using fat free milk as a protein booster... I used it in shakes, puddings and soups it worked great.... follow the guidelines of your Dr. for what is right for you. hugs and God Bless Maureen

Rachel - I've drank milk with sugar-free carnation breakfast mix + protein powder and didn't have any problems. I add half-n-half to my coffee which give me 11 grams of protein. If my tummy allows it, I do what it takes to get the protein in. All you can do is try it. Sip slowly though in case it doesn't like it.

<b>I SAID A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY~*~ I said a prayer for you today And know God must have heard- I felt the answer in my heart Although He spoke no word I didn't ask for wealth or fame, I knew you wouldn't mind, I asked Him to send treasures Of a far more lasting kind, I asked that He'd be near you At the start of each new day, To grant you health and blessings And friends to share your way. I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all.</b>

Hi Rachel. I have the exact same problem. I'm 10 weeks out and have lost around 50 pounds. My husband told me a few weeks ago that he's afraid that when I lose my weight, I'll cheat on him. What's up with these men? They're such babies. We're actually going to a marriage counselor when I get out of work today. My hubby is 5 years younger than me, not overweight and very attractive. In my opinion, he could probably have any female he went after....so why did he choose me? They say that the divorce rate amongst wls couples is extremely high. I told my hubby that I felt like I had to defend myself for something I haven't even done. Why don't you suggest marriage counseling. Maybe that will straighten him out. It was my hubby who suggested it. We've been married for 2 years, been together for 6 1/2 years. Men.....

HI RACHEL Can I say (((((((WOW)))))) That is a awesome weight loss. You should be very proud of yourself. Keep up great job your doing.LORD BLESS

Rachel, I am sorry that you are troubled. Your husband is probably feeling very threatened by your weight loss. It's good to be honest with him and talk about your feelings. You might also consider some marriage counseling. It might help him with his emotions. Keep up your weight loss. I hope all goes well. I'm supporting you!
