Yes we do! (hope that makes you feel better :) ) Geneticlly speaking woman are predisposed to maintaing fat. Men have a much higher muscle mass percentage and muscle is the fat burning factory. I.E the more muscle the more fat lost. You should grab a couple dumb bells and hit some curls everyother night. It will build more muscle and probably keep you from killing him in his sleep. PS- on the bright side you are losing!!

It can be frustrating! My hubby started his lifestyle change the day I started my pre-op diet. On my one month visit he borrowed the doctors scale. I had lost 33 with the sleeve, he had lost 28 ON HIS OWN. Now 3 month out he is at goal at the 40 pounds he wanted to lose, and I'm still chugging along lol.

Oh thank you! So, this is the scientific truth to why men lose faster yes...

But venting is still necessary!! :P

Anyhoo, to the OP - I so feel you on this! My Hubby isn't even sleeved and he can lose faster than me. He will just say to me one day (which was even recently may I add!) Oh... I need to lose a few... and the next week he can get back to eating anything he wants because he's already looking thin.

Bah.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
