Are Nails an Acceptable Diet Food??

Jun 18, 2014

Right now I could surely chew an entire box! Before starting my pre-op diet, I had told my signif/other that I wanted a vegetable dish we like and I need him to give me a ride to the store. Well that never happened and I will now have to wait for several month before my stomach will be able to tolerate it. Today he informed me that he was given a zucchini at work and wanted that dish for supper. I looked up the recipe for him and told him the cookbook was on the counter. His response was, "I'm not cooking!" While I have helped him with some of the cooking of his meals while I have been on my pre-op diet, it has been things that are baked or microwaved not something that I love and have to stand over smelling it while it cooks. Before starting the diet, he was "I'm going out to eat every day while you are on your diet." Now he wants me to be his personal cook all the while telling me, "You can't have it." Have watched shows on bariatric patients and he will comment on how horrible it is for family & friends to sit in front of the person eating some of their favorite foods when they are not to eat them. Right now he is being worse by not only eating it in front of me--But wanting me to COOK it. Am so angry at him I could cry. Guess it is just another hurdle to overcome. There will always be those that are thoughtless even though they "say" they want you to succeed. My choice I guess is to turn irritation and frustration into determination: I will make it through my pre-op diet without cheating and after surgery I am going to follow Doctor's order so I can achieve MY goals.

Thanks to those who have listened to me vent. Sometime I guess everyone need to let off some steam.
