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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
