My husband is horrible!

Day 2 of a 3 day clear liquid diet my surgeon requested and I offered to cook for my husband. HE SAID NO!!! So he went to the store then come home and make a patty melt with onion rings and steak fries and a apple turnover. That's just wrong, I am sitting here drinking chicken broth and eating jello. Almost make me have a good mind to toss his whole plate in the trash.

So excited about my surgery I just went in our room and closed the door.

Yes he was being insensitive. He probably doesn't get it. Can you talk to him about it? This is a long journey you are just starting and you need his support.

This is something that my husband would do.  Not intentionally, he just has never had to deal with a "weight" issue.  He is someone that would buy a gallon of ice cream and it would take him 6 months to eat on it.  He buys candy bars and leaves them in the frig until he is craving one.  I guess that is what normal is???  Grrr!

I don't mean to sound insensitive, but get used to it. You made this decision, he's not having surgery you are. He's gotta eat and if he chooses to eat unhealthy that's his deal,  be thankful you are making changes in your life to eat right. Don't be mad, in the long run you'll have the last laugh. :) 

He isn't having surgery. The first time is the hardest. You can't make him change his lifestyle. You will get used to it 

While I understand how you might feel angry, I also completely believe that it is up to you to make your choices and to be true to you.  I told my husband, who is really awesome and offered not to even have his favs in the house while I did this, to eat as he always does.  If I need to have him change his behaviour in my own home in order to succeed, how am I ever going to cope with making good decisions out ni the day to day world of temptation.  This is something I did for me, and he is supportive, but ultimately I am the addict and I cant live in the world and get healthy if I let my anger at the fact others can eat something take me over, I wont get to where I have chosen to go. Wishing you all the very best with your surgery.

Two positives first he didn't ask you to cook the meal for him. More importantly you didn't let the tempting food win! Good for you. 

Get over that. He is not being insensitive. He bought his food and he cooked it. That is being sensitive. 

You don't need to stick in the kitchen to watch him doing it and eating. 

You are having the surgery. Not him. 

What some of the others said is true, you will be faced with temptation in many places and not just from your husband.  But you did the right thing in going to your room to calm down, but mostly coming here to post and rant a little because that's what we are here for, to give you support because we, unlike your husband understand what you are going through.  Without being combative with your husband come up with a plan where he can get what he wants to eat but maybe you might be doing something else in the house while you are in this broth/jello phase.  Good luck, you've got this.

I think H.a.l.a. B. nailed it -- you've got it exactly backwards.  It might sting a little to actually SEE people eating things you can't/shouldn't/etc. but unless he tied you to a chair and forced you to watch I think he was being pretty classy about it.
