So I mentioned weeks ago back in pre-op that I was making my husbands current weight (106kg) my target that I was hoping to reach by surgery day 2nd May.

My weight loss slowed down in the final week before the op so I only made it to 111kg by surgery day.

Today, 1 week post op, when I weighed myself in the morning I was 106.4kg (and that was BEFORE the laxative and stool softener I took the last few nights kicked in, as hadn't BM since 2 days pre op).

I told hubby I've matched him today, woohoo! And he congratulated me...

then tonight while visiting my parents I had a simple text message from him... "104.0kg"

....

cheeky bugger

he'd weighed himself again and found he's lost 2 kilos this past month (likely because I've been leaving out rice/pasta from pretty much all family meals, plus "eating healthier" is kind of in his mind at the moment).

So.. the spouse-weight competition goal posts have now shifted to 104kg... but no matter... I should be under that one too within the week :)

At 6'3" and solid built (and with his entire stomach still inside) he won't be able to stay under my weight for long :)

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go ice 3 dozen birthday cupcakes for my daughter to share with her class at school tomorrow... life is cruel eh? ;) :399_birthday:

My 6'1 hubby only weighs around 170 (77kg) so I've still got a way to go before I get there, and he'll probably drop another 5-6 before then!

Congrats on making your first goal!

I was thrilled when my weight got lower than my husband's, too, and now I have him by 15#s! :blink: Its funny how you feel like a hamster on a treadmill until all of a sudden those 2-3-4#s a week start adding up.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
