Was standing in the kitchen last night when my husband came out and wrapped his arms around me and made the comment there was so much less of me to hug now. I'm only about 3 months post op but I'm down 59lbs. I feel wonderful and my husband just made my day.

Wow good job! So far i have only lost my pre op diet weight of 22lbs.. although I'm very upset i couldnt loose that without getting ready to get the band. I am not excersizing yet so i have a few hills to geg over but whatever your doing keep it up!! Wonderful work.

Those compliments are SO nice, especially coming from someone who sees you every day and may have a more difficult time noticing the changes. I'm learning how to take a compliment - - before WLS, a compliment would be met with sarcasm on my part. I'm learning how to say "thank you" even if I don't really take it to heart yet.

Give your husband a kiss for me. Compliments like that is what keeps us going!

Oh how great is that!! Good for you! My husband told me one time.. "I'm the luckiest man in the world" when I asked him why, he told me that he gets to have all different women. (meaning me as fat, skinny,fat, skinny, fat and SKINNY). Of course I smucked him!
