At first I thought, this will be great, hubby and I will go through this together, watch each other go from HUGE to smaller, normal size people. Well that isn't happening. At least not for me it isn't. Now with him.... WOW! He's already lost 58+ pounds! :thumbup:

I'm not doing so good. IN fact at the last appointment (Thursday) I had gained 1.5 pounds! AND we are more or less eating the same things! I HATE MY BODY! :thumbup: :) HATE IT! :smile2: :cursing: :cursing:

I'm keeping a food journal now to prove that I'm not cheating. I know I could get off my A$$ and move more, but it hurts so much that do to the 1/2 to one mile that i do get in is about all I can do for now.

Please Lord give me the strength to get this fat off before I die.

How long have you been banded for? A lott of times people gain for a little while after the go back to solid foods because their metabolisms have shut down after being on the super restrictive liquid diet for so long. Don't sweat it..it's hard not to get discouraged, but you're doing the right thing and the results will show eventually.

Eh, who needs hair anyway? It just weighs you down and makes the number on the scale that much bigger :thumbup:

Hang in there and try not to compare yourself to hubby. Biologically they (men)are designed to chase and kill an animal and drag it back to the cave. We are meant to sit in the cave and wait for them and then prepare it, all the while keeping ourselves fat enough to still be able to have babies even if they dont drag anything home all winter!

A year or two from now, when you are both fit and healthy, none of the exact numbers for any given week will matter!!!
