I understand how he feels especially if he's new on this journey. When you have an addiction such as food, it's hard to see everyone in your family eating whatever they wish as we are going through withdrawal of our new way of eating lifestyle. I was fortunate enough to have my family support me to join me in eating healthy and making better food choices along with me. As a result, they not only lost weight, but also became healthier than before. It will take some time, but your hubby will adjust and get used to his new routine. Hang in there.
I second this comment. I have been lucky to have support at home, but my wife is wanting me to cook. For now, our son is cooking (and he is a great cook who understands what I need). My wife wants to have ice cream or cookies or . . . . every night. I tell her, that I do too, but I can't because I want to get and stay healthy. I accept the challenges of the surgery are mine, and I acknowledge that others have to eat as well. Hang in there, he'll learn eventually.
It's a normal response after the surgery. Please remember, it's a team effort. If he was on crack and went into rehab, would you smoke crack in front f him?
As a 13 year veteran of weight loss surgery, these issues should have been discussed before surgery. It is not unreasonable nor selfish, he wants to be cautious and not go back. He needs all of the support possible. Things will happen to him, and you and your family you never expected.
