Any couples out there both sleeved?

I was sleeved in February and my husband is scheduled for 2 weeks. He is really excited and I am too for him!

@@Para-thighs Lost my husband never had any issues with recovery. I stayed an extra night the hospital because general anesthesia makes me extremely nauseous. He's done everything so quickly, which I resented at first...but I'm better now!

No, but my husband is thinking about doing this as well, so he is seeing if he can do it on his own one more time before he decides to go through with it. I gave he 6 months to decide and we are in month 3 now and he has only lost 14 lbs. thanks for this topic. I will keep close tabs on it.

Wishing him success on his journey.

For me, after decades of yoyoing, it wasn't a question of could I take it off, it was always about 'keeping' it off!

And because I'm (clearing my throat) older, it's so much harder to lose. Wish the sleeve would have been available in my 40's! Best wishes to you both!

I think there's a special bond when you go through this together. My hubby is excited too!

Is there a change in the grocery bill?

[1SlimmerMe 122]

Not really for us because eating better is more expensive.

Ours went WAY down, but hubby is on Optifast from the hospital, and I don't eat much yet. I'm sure after he gets on maintenance after surgery it will go up, but I don't think it will ever be a high as it once was. (Even with buying organic, and healthy protein) we simply won't eat as much

You're right about eating better costs more...I was thinking volume. Also, we're not buying any junk food, that adds up. Trying to stay away from processed food. It's just the two of us, must be a lot harder with a family!

My hubby and I were sleeved the same day, 09/11/14. I went first, he was second, we came home that evening and it's been smooth sailing ever since. He has lost 100 pounds and it at his goal, 153 pounds. I have lost 114 pounds and still have a ways to go. I'm shorter than him but outweighed him quite a bit.

It's truly the best thing we ever did and the journey has brought us so much closer together. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything.

Wow! That's awesome! We didn't think we could do it at the same time. One because our hospital was 2 1/2 hours away, and several other factors made it too difficult. I think it's great you went through it together!

Congratulations on your success!!!

Hope we can do as well as you two did!

How's your grocery bill compared to before?
