Thanks for all your feedback. I think my hubby's concerns are more about his lack of knowledge and apprehension about me changing. I realize that I'm going to change but I don't plan on leaving just because I've lost weight.

Praying for speedy recovery and successful rny....congratz

wow lack of iron effects your hair....good to know...explains alot of issues I may been having .

My doctor didn't tell me to drink coffee presurgery but I just wanted to kick the habit on my own.

you look great.....you look like a totally different person.

hmmm not looking forward to this stage at all.

So my hubby and I were having a debate about him not being supportive of my weight loss efforts. I know that I'm responsible for my own diet and workout routine but it would nice if he would just be more motivating. So he then proceeded to tell me that the reason he isn't supportive is because he doesn't want me to have the surgery. He told me that I didn't consider his point of view when I made this decision and then he is also concerned about the health risks and the excess skin issue. I understand him but a the same time, he doesn't have to live in my body and losing weight on my own is extremely hard....I have been trying to lose weight for the last 10 years with little success. I would rather have excess skin then develop health problems. Have any of you had this same issue with your spouse or someone close to you? How did you convince them that this is the right decision for you?

Well RNY will definitely nip that chocolate habit in the bud.

Yes if the pain is consistant I would suggest calling your surgeon.

Yayyyyyyy.....you look good

You look great. Wow your shoe size shrunk by a whole size.....impressive. I'm looking forward to that. I haven't had my surgery yet but I have found myself venturing into the misses section and just imagining what it would be like to buy even size 12 clothing. Yayyy so excited.

Okay I will keep this in mind. It rained today so maybe tomorrow. How often did you train?

you look great.

I hope I'm able to get a tummy tuck. You look great.

I'm from Bridgeport, CT....born and raised.

very cute...congratz......can't wait for my surgery.

Yea in CT they require a 6 month separation period as well.

How did you have to wait for an approval? I have aetna too.

not a homeowner yet but mowing the lawn is not a chore I'm looking forward to.

you look great....wooohoo way to go.

go jackie.......go jackie.........go. I'm so proud of you. 22 lbs wow

very cute!!!!!

I will probably be traveling to SC from CT soon after my surgery. I don't think there will be a problem. I will not be doing any of the driving of course.

So I got my new sneakers and I was excited to get out there and try the couch to 5k training. I have to admit that I couldn't finish it. I was a little embarrassed at how hard it was. I thought with all the walking and kickboxing I had been doing that I was conditioned enough. I was not prepared at all. I did a brisk 5 min warm up and then alternated jogging for 60 sec and brisk walking for 90 sec. I was only able to alternate three times. I'm going to try again tomorrow morning but this time I'm not going to stop I will just continue brisk walking if I can't jog again. Did anyone else trouble in the beginning?

oh wow....I haven't had my surgery yet but I imagine this feeling must be interesting.
