My boyfriend and I are heading on 5 years together and he's the best person in the world. He's been so supportive of every step of my weight loss. He walks with me every day and congratulates me on scale and non-scale victories. I just wanted to mention that he's played a huge part in supporting me. Here's to all the supportive people out there that help make the good stuff happen!

My husband has been great. He did the pre op diet with me and walks with me and is also keen to keep our meals healthy. He is also reaping the benefits and has lost 9 kilo's. It really helps to have support. The kids complain that there is no snack food in the house but my daughter and one of my sons have also dropped some weight, my daughter walks with me too. My band is great for whole family.

We are lucky to have such great guys! Although I would accept nothing less for myself!

I opened this thread expecting it to be about me.

Oh, the disappointment.

Haha Bob you are too funny!!

I just wanted to say... what a great idea for a post!!! Most every other one is how someone is NOT supportive... well it's about time we give a shout out to all the great folks in our lives who ARE!!!

My Husband has been my biggest cheerleader. We share everything together... every half pound lost, what I've had for lunch (or lack thereof.. lol) or even if my pants are getting too big. I LOVE THAT MAN OF MINE!

funny!!!

I get my band on the 8th so I'm not in the thick of it yet, but my boyfriend has been pretty supportive of me as well. We ended up getting a Water cooler/dispenser because the water we have is FOUL out of the faucet. We both cut out the soda; this is huuuuuge for Eric [b/f] because he seriously could kill a 12-pack a day of soda. Something as simple as that comes off as extremely supportive to me because it's not in the house and isn't a temptation.

That's all I have for now. We'll see when I'm eating half a cup of pureed chicken and he's eating pizza how I feel about him.

Nice thread!

My husband also has been wonderful every step of the way! I am so thankful for him. Whenever I got pouty, worried, scared, upset, doubtful, etc., with the pre-op diet, the surgery, and post banding living, he's always said something to help put me back on track. He's celebrated with me with every pound lost (but in a good way, not like "it's about time you're losing all that weight"--he was happy I was happy!). The only thing he doesn't like is when I've had to pb in front of him--that grosses him out (heck, it grosses me out too!).

Wow! I just noticed your weightloss ticker--awesome! I remember when you were just getting ready to have the band--and it doesn't seem like it was even a year ago--now look at you with just 33 lbs to go! I'd say that's pretty great (even if this "great guy" thread wasn't about you--ha ha!)! Congratulations!

Thanks.

My panniculectomy is next week. Hopefully, that will bring me 10+ pounds closer to goal.

My husband has been incredible, too. He originally didn;t want me to have the band, mainly because he was afraid I'd die during the procedure. As soon as I made up my mind, though, he's been completely supportive. He even has a "new wardrobe" fund going, so I can get a whole new wardrobe when I hit goal. He constantly puts his arms around me to show me how he can actually wrap both arms around, and shows me in other ways how much I've lost (ways even I don't realize). Throughout my three procedures (the initial band, infected port removal and my recent new port insertion), he's been incredible and supportive.

Thanks for starting this thread- it makes me realize how lucky I am
