I'm am 12 months out from my surgery date as of June 6th and my husband is 16 months out. It has been a great experience going through this together. I've lost 130 pounds and he's lost 207 pounds. We both want to lose about 90 or so more pounds each. You can really help each other so much but you are still different people with different bodies and may have different reactions to things. chicken made me sick as a dog and that was all that didn't make him sick when we were in the puréed food stage. Best of luck to both of you!

My husband did it 5 weeks before I did. The only caution I have to give you....men lose weight a lot faster than women. I have to be careful not to get frustrated when watching his losses. He is down about 80 pounds and I'm down about 50. He is only about 10 or so pounds away from goal and i still have about 70 to go. He did his 3/18/13 and I did it 4/22/13. I think it is best we did it together. We would not have been successful otherwise. We relate to what each other is going through, remind each other to stay on track, and approach challenges as a team. I hope it goes as well for you and your husband as it did for us.

      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.
