Found My Husband Reaching To Hold My Hand In The Mall.....



Recommended Posts

I love my husband, and he is my best friend of 20 years, he has loved me thru all my problems with weight. He has been my best support. I have to admit, I'm starting to look hot, and we went to the mall last night, and he reached out and took my hand. I just looked at him, and he gave me that young man look, that won my heart years ago. We only held hands for a few minutes, and went on our way, but it was nice. Thanks sleeve for letting me relive the good ol days.

We truly become somebody new - even more on the inside than the outside.

I love your story.

I am a touch smaller that I was when I met my Hubby in 1999 - and a year later I was almost 7 dress sizes larger (long story) - I made him wait 3 years to marry me because I was afraid I couldn't lose the weight - and I didnt until now. We Celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary on the 24th.

He is going to be in Cypress and Israel for at least a month or so, very likely more. I hope to break my (one of many) stalls and see if I can be a size down when he gets home.

I don't think he has ever stopped "looking" at me, but again yes, it is a bit different now when he does :)

Great topic.. My hubby has always assured he loved me both before and after- and was very intimate all throuought but it is very difficult to accept compliments when you never got them before- regardless if they are genuine or not.. He looks a differnt way now and so do LOTS of other people- THat is nice but at the same time- it's hard to accept- THis for me willt ake the longest time...

Aww, my husband told me he loved me the way I was and that I didn't need to have the surgery. Now, that I had it he tells me that he's proud of me for doing what I wanted and he still thinks I didn't need the surgery :-) We all have a loving man by our side!! It's wonderful!

keepin it real ;)

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
