OMG! You look 1000% better and healthier I don't see a little old man anywhere! Good for you...

Sounds to me like you guys need to have a real heart-to-heart. In my psych eval we covered this... weight loss just like weight gain can put a strain on any relationship... that she had it too though her reactions really surprise me..
You guys may need some kind of couples counseling to actually fetter out what is bothering her and why she isn't as enthused about the new you....because I doubt it will just go away on its own.

First thing pick your head up and be very proud of yourself. You should be skipping around not depressed. Also you do not look like a old man, You look good, not to skinny either. Remember people will always have something to say. Just love yourself and so what makes you happy and healthy. Congrats to you. You look amazing!

Congrats! I'm home now and do have a friend helping me - mainly the pain of using my stomach muscles for standing and/or sitting. Other than that, I feel pretty good too, which is awesome.

I'll have what she's having.

Thanks kimbernada for the info. I too hope my surgery is boring and "by the numbers". I haven't worn jeans for years now. I like the "George" brand of slacks they sell at Wal-Mart. I have to dress professional at work, except for casual Fridays, but I still wear the slacks. Fortunately, I still have lots of my old shirts and jeans from when I was in my 250 - 270 range. It's only been in the past 3 years that I've gained the extra hundred pounds.
I plan on taking my laptop and a boat load of "The Big Bang Theory" episodes as part of my hospital kit, along with a few of the other things on the "hospital list" I found on the forum.
I am looking forward to having the "problem" of having to buy smaller clothes every few months.

Most excellent!

Congratulations on your sleeve! Stay positive and think of your healthy future. Every week that passes you will thank yourself more and more for this wonderful gift. I am nearly 4 months out, down 60lbs and feeling over the moon! I have a wonderful, supportive and loving husband, too. So thankful <3
