saramichelle 127 Posted May 6, 2013 I haven't done this but that's awesome that you to will get to experience it together. I like that:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rhonda 6 Posted June 22, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kat23 47 Posted June 22, 2013 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.
