Topic: RE: Bariatric Divorce

You have had such great responses here. I have to say that to me... if your husband is threatening divorce over a life changing surgery you may want, then he is either very uneducated as to the pros and cons of the surgery or not the kind of man you want to keep around for life no matter what you weigh!

Same for me, no asking permission for life saving changes.

Topic: RE: Vitamins and protein

Unfortunately, no new recommendations on protein drinks. As for vitamins, I'm currently taking Vitamin B-12 Nature Made from the Canada Drugs Direct store. Though my mother takes Centrum chewable multivitamins, I tried one and it tastes good.

Topic: RE: What Vitamins are you taking daily?

I started experiencing fatigue, and that was the reason to check the level of Vitamin D (I double-checked the description on CanadaDrugs site). I did a blood test last week and it turned out I was right. I'm also currently taking 4000 iu daily. And I agree that it is essential to do labs to control it.

Topic: RE: Wide Width athletic shoes for women?

I find very comfortable shoes on https://www.forstepstyle.com. There are a lot of high-quality branded shoes and clothes of excellent quality on their website. Their prices are much cheaper than in other stores and fast delivery. Look for something on their website, and I think you will find shoes suitable for your foot. I recently ordered sneakers from Adidas for weekend walks with children on this site. And these are the most comfortable sneakers I've ever had. In addition, they look very stylish and fit well into my lifestyle.

My husband wasn't keen, but I never asked his permission. My body, my choice.

You may want to seek help if your husband is this controlling/disrespectful.

I believe that divorce after surgery is often because the person having surgery gains self esteem and no longer needs their spouse/partner to enable or even sabotage them.

You have a lot of thinking to do.

I guess that I am just very independent because my answer would be, "I will miss you".

I do what I need to take care of myself and would not tolerate being told what I cannot do. My decision to have surgery was between me and my doctor. I am also not afraid to be alone. There are plenty of men who will want to be with you if you want them. You might not.

I would ask him to go to marriage counselling with me and go alone if he refuses. Then I would talk to a lawyer about my options.

Does he give you any reasons why? Is he afraid for you, then take him to the doctor with you so he understands the pros/cons; is he afraid that you will leave if you get skinny? Therapy/counseling could help in either case. If you search here on the word spouse, there seem to be quite a few people that have dealt with similar non-supportive partners, maybe there is something in those experiences for you to use. Good luck doing the right thing for you, with/without his support.
