Kim~ Being an Army wife myself, I can relate to what you're going through. First, I'd let him know that just because you have an issue with your own weight doen't give him an excuse for his not eating right or gaining weight. You didn't make him eat anything. After all, if he doesn't like what you cook.. he can make something for himself.... he's a soldier.. tell him to act like it. Second, why does it matter how you loose the wait (permanently)? As long as you do it? You'll still have to work out and eat right after the surgery. As far as it being the 'easy' way out... let's see him say that to you when you're at goal (not just dreaming and praying about it). I know how hard this has got to be for you.. wish you lots of luck. Email me if you need a fellow Army wife to talk to.

October 17th. Dear Kimberly: Greetings and congradulations on your decision and courage to have wls. Concerning your uninformed husband, just remind him that judgement should not be passed onto you until he's walked a mile in your shoes (so to speak); or as a wise man once said: 'why try and pick out the straw in that person's eye, when you have a rafter in your own?'(Not quoted word for word, but you get the idea). Your husband is probably just feeling a lot of fear over you having surgery and changing; one way he can control your feelings and responses is through negative comments. Try and let those comments roll off your back, and try and give him a hug of reassurance. I know it's hard. Sincerely, Lori Ann

hi kim i had to laugh when i read your post..yes people think that this is the easy way out but you can tell him from a postie that this is harder than dieting its a whole new life style and i wouldnt change it or think twice about having the surgery again..when i had this surgery my in-laws didnt call, send a card , flowers nothing ..the reason?? they felt it was cosmetic surgery ..ignorance is very bliss..you do the surgery for you and no one else you wont have any regerts believe me..good luck..arevedecci joann..

How I relate to you. I had some friends say the same thing. What I mean to say is people I thought were my friends. Let me tell you there is nothing easy about this surgery. One, it causes change. I don't about you, but I run from having to change anything in my life. Two, it makes you get rid of your best friend, food. People think what they have to think about what you are doing. But I believe it's the most wonderful and positive thing you can do for yourself. Is your husband scared of you losing the weight? Cause it shouldn't matter how you lose it as long as you lose it. I think your husband has to get over a change that is going to happen to you. He sounds more fearful than anything. Remember"It's all about you now, Girl friend." Take care Robin
