Rave for my husband



Recommended Posts

Major rave for my husband. We have been together for nearly 20 years and he's witnessed my weight difficulties first hand. He's been through a million diet attempts with me. I'm a month from surgery and he's become my biggest cheerleader. The other day he said we should start saving money for all of the new skinnier clothes I'm going to need. And he said at some point I may want to get a boob lift if the girls are too saggy for me. I know this surgery scares him, but he's starting to get excited about how healthy I'm going to become and how much happier I'll be. I also think he secretly is excited that I'll want to go to Disney with him more!

So happy for you. Years ago when I first thought about doing this my husband was so against it I gave up on the idea. Now he is right there with me (surgery is on the 17th). It would be wonderful if lots more of us got his type of support from our spouses. Hope you enjoy your new clothes, trips to Disney and a boob job if you want one..

month from surgery and he's (hubby) become my biggest cheerleader. other day he said we should start saving money for the new skinnier clothes - at some point may want to get a boob lift.

yep, he's a keeper

but he's also the lucky one to have you

some people don't get any encouragement from family, friends

having hubby in your corner giving you lots of support is great

he's already aware that you'll be needing/buyer smaller sized clothes

(don't go overboard on buying new clothes - your size will continue to go down)

many people go to the rescue mission or thrift store - you can find nice clothes - some even have tags on them

good thoughts being sent your way

best of luck next month

Hubby and I have talked about how my obesity was a disability for us both -- a real "family disease." Mostly, when I was overweight he was so worried about me.

He is so relieved and happy for me now that I'm not overweight, agoraphobic, not participating in life, and not feeling well.

And naturally, I'm so happy to relieve him of that burden he felt.

Aren't some of our husbands just the sweetest!?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
