I'm almost 3 weeks out and my husband keeps offering to give me a Protein boost, but so far I haven't taken him up on it. LOL

Girlfriend you are down 109#. You will get there. Shouts out to you for losing that much weight! You look great!

I have a great marriage and I've loved this man for 21 years. We've been through rough times, close to divorce (not actually but he's pissed me off bad enough for me to think about it), and with all the struggles we still remain. I pray that this surgery doesn't cause a problem. I hear of so many people divorcing and separating til it's scary. He's supportive of this surgery however last week he told me I was acting quiet and he was scared I will leave him after the surgery! I'm thinking WtF???? Where did that come from. He even said sometimes when I don't want to have sex he feels as if I don't find him attractive. This blew my mind, this man is fine as hel$! I would think looking at my body would turn him off!!! I don't know, this just scared the crap out of me!

I think it's because we are less self conscious and feel so much better about ourselves. I was 50 when I had surgery, by week two I was ready to get after it. Sex has always been good, but now....WOW. We've been married 34 years this July, and it has never been better!!!!

I am married to a man with an Adonis body. He is so fit and so freaking hot. Everyday for the past 21 years of marriage he has made me feel beautiful. He is the reason I have had a high sex drive, even at my highest!

Haha! Totally hilarious! I never thought that gagging would make a guy feel good! I guess it would...they always over estimate size anyways!

All I'm going to say is, do your thang girl!!!
A bit of "gagging" isn't a bad thing. If you are willing to go that far for him, great. And for you ladies that don't have a gag reflex, make the noise every once in a while. I know it sounds bad, but it kind of strokes our ego a bit.

Another thing, I don't gag unless my partner is pushing down on my head like some guys do. Don't let them do that. Don't complain, but push back with your head and don't let them make you go far enough to make you gag. Remember this is something that you are in control of and it is something that men like because they aren't in complete control. Or if you can get them to gently run their fingers through your hair instead of pushing down on your head it will be much more pleasant.

OMG! You look fabulous and I can tell that you feel fabulous too. Are you modeling? I agree with granny you look like a CK model. HOT!

I'm doing great! I might be in the 3 week stall, but I lost 2 pounds in the past week, so I don't exactly consider it a stall. I lost 15 pounds the week before that, though, so it's a big difference. I'm just trying to be patient with the process and pay more attention to how I feel and how my clothes fit. I'm down from a tight 22 to a comfortable 20. My birthday is in 2 days and I already feel like I've given myself the best present

Looks as if my husband will be able to go with me after all!! I'm so excited. We're waiting to see if he will be able to get off!. I'm ok if I must go alone but I will feel much more comfortable if he's there.

Good luck and congrats!

Looking at all of the pictures simply amazes me. It's almost like weight loss has breathed joy and life back into everyone. The smile on the after pics says it all. Everyone looks so much more confident and proud. Keep them coming guys!!

He never said he was asking about her case....we dont even know who her is. Exactly how did you read that into what I said. He said he would contact that office if such a case were open they would know who posted it. Comment on what is,written not what you read into something!

I had my 2 month checkup today and showed the original post to my doctor. Dr. King ordered his nurse to pull up the thread and print it....he then told her to contact that office to see if there was such a case there. I asked if they could let me know just because it was a big concern to me. Dr. King said it is completely impossible and he would bet his 40 year career on the impossibility of this being true....again....only she knows the truth.

......you arent the only one. My surgeon contacted the office she named so that they could be aware of the post and the accusation. The woman is lying, its just that simple.

You guys look great! Such an inspiration!

I had my surgery on November 27th. It has been a struggle to say the least. I know many of you have read my posts & given me support throughout these first steps of my journey, So, I wanted to share my success so far with you. I am down 51 pounds. My BMI is 7 points lower. My shirt size has gone from a 34 to a 26/28. My pants have gone from a tight 32 to a comfortable 26. Even at my dress shoes are too big. The shoes are a funny story. I hardly ever wear dress shoes so I only have 1 pair. I needed them for a wedding reception last weekend. As I was walking up the stairs at the reception & my foot came up & my shoe stayed on the stair. I stepped right out of it. There was a man standing at the bottom of the stairs & he got my shoe & held it out for me to put on. He said,"You're just like Cinderella". LOL. My boyfriend didn't find it as funny. So, that's about it for now. It has been a really hard road, but I am starting to have some hope. I'll have to post a new pic since I have lost weight in my face.

Thanks so much to all of you!!!
She is the one who got us started on this, I was dead against it. A friend at work had RNY and got her interested. When a support meeting turned me 180 degrees I liked the sound of the sleeve better, I felt that after cancer I needed all the nutrients I could get and didn't need the malabsorption afforded by RNY. Her being her and me being me, we both did what we thought best. It turned out to be right for both of us.
You know, after we took some of the after pictures this morning and I was trying to post them it was pretty slow. My Debbie kept interrupting me because she was changing clothes and having me take more pictures of her in different outfits. This from a gal who used to dread having her picture taken or looking in a mirror. I love it when she loves herself and happiness shines from her face. It is not arrogant pride but a sense of triumph I see. She conquered the great enemy of her life. She makes me think I am quite a guy to have the love of such a wonderful woman.

You look fantastic and so beautiful! I can't wait to gain my confidence back. Great job!

Good morning Everyone,
Super excited... Even though I am trying to down play it to everyone else. Tijuana today and tomorrow I will be a sleeved woman! Praying all goes well.
