I am 5 weeks post-op this week....I have lost 31 pounds so far ( that includes 2 week pre-op diet)....I am very excited about that however I am most excited about the fact that I now weigh 8 pounds less than my husband! Lol.....May not seem like a big deal to some but it is to me....we have been married for 17 years and he has not gained 5 extra pounds opposed to my gaining over 100 pounds....so it is nice to weigh less than him for the first time in 13 years......

Oh, I so get this victory and cannot wait to be able to report the same! Married 22 years and gained the hundred in cycles of loss/gain back more, loss/gain much more, etc. while husband has remained the same. Thank goodness, really -- one of us facing this is enough. But still, I can't wait for that day I am in One-derland and less than him. Congratulations on such a great beginning to your weight loss -- thanks so much for posting. I can't wait to begin!

That's not a small victory, that's huge!! Congratulations! I still have about 45 pounds to go to get to that one, but I have definitely been looking forward to it!

Congratulations!!! I am 24 pounds heavier than my boyfriend....so I totally get it. But I am catching up!!!

any victory is huge.. no small victories here... we all have the same issues and goal.. get healthier and thinner..

Thanks to you all for your replies.....It makes me feel so much better knowing that I am not alone feeling like that! Looking forward.......
