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 ;)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
