Meljp 36 Posted May 4, 2012 I am 9 weeks post op. Down 44 lbs. and gone from an 18 to a 14. I already feel so much better with the weight I have lost. My knees especially. I just wanted to share what my husband Steve said to me night before last when he came in from work. He said "you sure are all dolled up". I asked "what do you mean?" and he replied "you just look so good"...Oh I love that man of mine!!

ChaChaBurch 60 Posted May 4, 2012 That is so sweet! My DH told me this morning, "Honey, you're getting so skinny"!!!! He said he likes to hug more because I feel smaller in his arms. Gotta love those guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AliveAgain 283 Posted May 4, 2012 Glad to know there are so many GOOD MEN out there! My husband saw me from afar the other day, walked up and said, "I barely recognized you! My incredibly shrinking wife!" :wub: 1 Ms skinniness reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted May 4, 2012 My DH doesn't use many words but his actions are even better. He has changed his eating habits as well and eats more healthy. But he still eats way toooooo much! I still get kinda grossed out by how much he eats so I just tell him that it freaks me out. Poor guy! But at least he's willing to make some changes. I love a man with words like "your getting skinny!" That's enduring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AliveAgain 283 Posted May 4, 2012 Mine also tells me how proud he is of what I've taken on, the challenges I made it through at my heaviest to taking control of it. He gets it, he's watched me struggle through hormonal changes that expanded my body rapidly. He watched me diet and not lose more than 15 pounds. He tells me how sad it made him to see how people treated me when I was at my heaviest, and how people treat me even now 60lbs lighter. Some who barely acknowleged me before and so nice to me now, but I'm still obese (by the chart) and get rude treatment. And he's been reading articles about how much discrimination against the obese and overweight is on the rise. Most of it stems from how news media covers stories about how the costs it has on healthcare. Much like most people didn't care about smokers until we realized what a drain it was on our healthcare system. We didn't care about big cars and trucks in the 70s until the environment and gas prices made us pay attention to better options. Now, the obese are targeted much the same way -- and it makes employers, service representatives, total strangers treat us differently. 1 shelly311 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
