Last night my husband Gordon & I were at dinner @Superior Steak House celebrating his birthday, (we both were "dressed up"). An old friend that we had not seen in a couple of years came by totally disregarding me and angrily told Gordon "Man, I didn't think you were the type to dump a perfectly good woman for this "younger cupcake" I really thought you & Linda were soul mates" He then looked at me and began to tell me how "wonderful" Gordon's Linda was , so I said thank you and told him next month we will be celebrating 31 years together and that's when he realized it was me! After the usual OMG you look fantastic, he left & Gordon and I continued our dinner but I do believe Gordon's smile was a little bit bigger I know mine was. I look in the mirror and am just now (11mths out Sleeve) seeing the new slimmer me that everyone around me has seen for months.

I'm assuming you're Linda, and your husband is Gordon? Because if not, your story takes on an entirely different message. :)

That is an awesome story that you have made such a transformation that someone mistook you for "the other woman". Made you feel good I'm sure and made your "friend" feel a little bit like an A**

Well your hubby ought to be ashamed too, for robbing the cradle and marrying a woman only half his age :)

I have a similar story only the person spotted us in public and confronted my wife on the phone at a later date, she congratulated her on dumping that "old fatty" and hooking up with someone younger and slimmer. The wife kept her cool and even laughed but made a mental note to never call that "friend" again :)

Congrats on the success!

Your story literally made me tear up :(

I have thought about situations like this, where we could run into people that we only see occasionally and they could think my hubby was with another woman ( we have been married 29 years). I actually truly hope it WILL happen to us one day. I am sure both you and your husband felt so proud of your accomplishment! That is awesome !

Awesome story!

You have made a huge change for someone not to notice you at all!

And you must be an amazing woman for a man to walk up to another man and tell him what he thought of his wife when he thought he was with another woman!

Congratulations! Keep up the GREAT work!

That is hilarious!!! That guy had to be so embarassed, but I think it's so sweet that he was "sticking up" for you when he thought your husband with with a younger woman.

This is one of the best NSVs I've read in ages! Thanks for sharing!

      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.
