Well, you look gorgeous! I know I can do this, I just hope I look healthy down at my target weight.

I think you are right. I am hoping he will get motivated to get with a healthier lifestyle.

My husband and I met when we were young and fit and in the military. It is 13 years later with 3 kids and retirements. We packed on the weight together. He is at least 100lbs overweight, as am I. I had my gastric bypass surgery May 8 and I am recovering well. Except hubby keeps bringing up that I will leave him if he doesn't keep up with me in weightless, I want to reassure him, but at the same time I want him to make some changes. Anyone else go through this?

I can finally say I had the surgery! I had the bypass Wednesday, May 8, and it is now Saturday, May 11. I still have cramps and pain, but considering it was major surgery, I am doing great! I've been up walking around the house occasionally folding laundry, making sure I drink lots of sips of Water. My first night home from the hospital my family made pizza and celebrated my husband's birthday with an ice cream cake. It wasn't really difficult to resist since my stomach is still so sore, but it smelled really good. I am going to need a better defense down the road when my stomach doesn't hurt any more. Kate

My surgery is just around the corner. I woke up this morning with a cold, and I am hoping it won't interfere with the date of my op.

I am looking forward to: using a regular-size bathroom stall in a public restroom. Putting on my socks & shoes without issues Getting out of bed without the flailing
