My hubby said the same thing to me. He asked me if I was going to leave him for a younger model. I just laughed. He is being so ridiculous.

He is def not conservative. Probably more protective than anything. It is just weird to see this side of him.

Don't be sorry. I didn't take any offense to it at all.

I love that they taste so good, it almost feels like cheating. LOL I recently had chunky PB & sugar free grape jelly on a 1/2 whole wheat pita, and I was in heaven. I was a huge PBJ fan before surgery. Maybe I shouldn't have done it because now I want to eat it everyday for lunch. If you had 2 Yasso bars, good for you. There are days when I say I am going to do it, but I am too full to try. No judgement here.

OK TY

Thank you.

Good point, I guess I am normal now, not skinny. Skinny to him though. That is a great idea to ask him what he wants to see me in now. I was very shy before being overweight, and never wore anything like lingerie. Maybe now, we can both benefit from it. LOL Thank you for the idea.

I just tried one for lunch today. I tried the chicken, basil one and it was good. I am close to 6 months post op.

My shoe size has also changed from a 10WW to a 9W. Even though I lost so much weight, my feet are always a problem due to neuropathy. Dressing in layers is something I never had to do before, I was always hot before. I can do housework now. I couldn't even vacuum before. My bum is completely gone, and it hurts when I sit down even after 10 minutes or so. The really weird thing is that my freckles have come back. I used to only get them in the summer. It is dead winter here, and they are all over my face. I used to drink ice cold water, and now can only drink room temp. The biggest one for me is that I can walk without a cane. No longer have to use a wheelchair to get around. I am sure there are lots more....it is a journey.

I was "uncomfortable", but not really in pain. I can tolerate a lot of pain. I refused to take pain meds, even during my 2 days in the hospital. I don't do good on meds, and don't like the way they make me feel.

I was just barley getting 400. I had a very rough start. My protein was severely lacking. I wasn't able to reach the goal until my 4th to 5th month.

Right now the only carbs I get is from apples mostly. I don't drink alcohol so I don't have to worry about that. Even though I don't drink, we were told that we couldn't after surgery. Everyone's plans are so different. What they were told from their docs is very different.

Where did you get that shirt? I want one in my bday year.

Sorry to hear that. I had a really bad recovery in the 1st month. I literally couldn't eat or drink anything without being sick. I ended up in the hospital because of dehydration. Had to have nausea patches behind my ears. I never thought it would end. Could be why I can't/won't try a lot of things. Even after I could start to eat a little more, I basically stick to the same things.

Thank you, even though I was a lot heavier, for some reason I never had a problem with my calf's. I always had skinnier legs, I was very top heavy.

Were you heavy when you first met? I was chubby, and hubby has indicated he likes me like that. He said he doesn't like skinny women. Well guess what, now I am skinny. Does that mean he doesn't like me? Attracted to me anymore? I asked him last night, and he didn't want to talk much about it. When I brought up the shorts, and halter comment, he just groaned.

What flavor do you like the best? I love the black raspberry, and choc chip.

Ya maybe, but he should know me after 25 yrs. I would never wear stuff like that.

I remember my mom wearing something like this back in the 70's.

I love that outfit, my hubby would probably have a heart attack if I wore something like that.

LOL yes he is a child of the 70's! He has not mentioned a bathing suit yet.

We had a little bit of a convo last night, but he seemed like he didn't really want to talk about it. I just let it go.

I agree with you on that. There should be some kind of support for the spouses.

I started buying the "hand warmers" that you just shake them to activate. I put them in my socks to keep my feet/toes warm. That is the coldest part of my body. I usually wear long johns, sweats, cami, sweatshirt, 2 pairs of socks, and sometimes even have to put my bathrobe on over it. I am still cold after all that. It is awful.

What is IMO?
