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!?

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
