If he expects you to eat the same portions as him without this surgery yourself he is out of his freaking MIND (these are literally starvation portions for months)!! For the first few weeks my family took care to not eat around me but as I got on a soft food diet that changed. They eat their dinner which is usually totally different than what I eat. There is still junk food in my house I just exercise some damn self control. I would never insist that my wife eat the same food as I have to much less the same portions. In fact the changes she wants to make in her diet now are inspired by my weight loss, not from me forcing or even pushing her to do it.
