my hubby has been very supportive from the initial visit/seminar. he has lost 25 lbs and we are physically doing a lot more together in our new house! he eats better and we stay busy!

Definitely a good man to have on your team! Congratulations!

My husband has always been 100 % supportive of my WLS, (he never said anything negative but I know he wasn't happy with my weight gain ) and while he's always making positive comments about my slimmer ,healthy body,
he also makes nice comments to others about my good exercise habits, and jokingly "complains " about them. Now, if I could just get him to build that work out area in our basement, we'd be set !!

Hi All...
Got this text from my hubby today. So fun after so much hard work and years of failed diets and challenges...and I've just gotten started after WLS revision a month ago. Just thought I'd share to inspire all of us as we search to change and get healthy and to realize the positive effects on those around us. Let's go do all those things we couldn't do before and include family and friends in the journey.
"I cannot tell you how excited I am right now about our journey and path forward. From our house and life at home to your health and our family's health. Being more active and moving our center of focus from eating to doing... It's great! It's an adjustment but a good one.
It will open so much for us. We can do ski trips and hike and swim and snorkel and bike and ... On and on for fun getaways or around our neighborhood. Just think, you will be able to walk up the mountain with me in Aspen or where ever.
Then at home, we are able to work on the house together... I love that. Before, it was daunting, but yesterday showed me how great it will be now. Tackling a closet or a room is nothing. We can organize and decorate together. It will make our house so extra warm (it already was, but now it will be even more so).
THANK YOU for tackling this health monster. I'm so proud of you.
I will do the same in my life. You're inspiring. Thank you. Love you."
Question: What are you doing or going to do that may drive you and possibly inspire your loved ones? (Me-I've now joined a gym. Your turn...)

It's true my hubby totally rocks. This whole thing is putting a new spring in his step.
Mom26…Sounds like you are totally kicking this diet's A**! )) Congrats!!! And it sounds like your hubby is crazy excited, too! Love it.

That's so incredibly loving!!
To answer your question... what am I doing or going to do that will drive me? Well, we've already cleaned out every cabinet. I now read labels and make much better choices for food. And we've increased the dog walks from 1/2 mile (they're bulldogs.... aka couch potatoes) once a day to 3 times a day. Two of them can walk a mile - so we'll bring a wagon along and put them in the wagon when they get tired. Now that it's not hot out, they LOVE the walks.
Yesterday while visiting Towson University, my hubby said "you are kicking this diet's ASS".. it made me beam!!

A perfect example how weight loss surgery can make a good marriage even stronger, and much more fun!! Enjoy doing all those great things with your wonderful husband!!

Love it!!!

Now this is what a supportive spouse is supposed to look like!
You'd better be treating that man of yours like a king. He deserves it!

@@ItsTheNewMe - that is great, great for you, and a big high five to your husband for sharing

Ahhh.... Does he have a brother? ????
