Thanksgiving Setback!

Nov 25, 2016

I am upset with myself after thanksgiving! I admit my responsibility that I gave in, but i feel my family had helped me sabbotage myself. I was planning on just a protein shake for dinner, however my family insisted I eat. I said no, and was going to go for a walk instead, but they got mad at me, and wouldn't let me go without a major argument. So, I gave in and ate. That was enough to get me going. I ate all night long! I gained 2 lbs overnight. :(   (I know Im not supposed to look at the scale daily but I felt guilty and needed to see for myself what I did.) Also, my wife and I are having the Bypass surgery on the same day in January. The problem there is that our roommates are not supportive. One even said that he will "test us" on our ability not to give in. My wife explained to him many times that will do more harm than good. He is already doing it. Plus, I am the maid for 4 people (I do all the cleaning, cooking, etc etc., and I take care of three dogs 100% by myself.) I do not want the house to be a mess, and I want my wife taken care of if she needs it (she will). Like I mentioned above I am having the sugery same day as her, so if I can I will push to be home off pain meds and taking care of her and the house the day she gets home, but my surgery is more complicated due to my Nissen so I may be in hospital longer because Dr. Ibele told me that she absolutely will not release me if theres any hint of a problem. So, I feel that the roomates better help now, and prove to me they can help out if needed when the time comes so I dont feel that I must cancel my surgery. Advice?
