My husband and I had surgery on July 22, and we've been taking monthly photos in the same clothes to see our progress. We put the 3 month photos next to the pre-op photos, and we could really tell a nice difference, so we decided to share. He has lost 72 lbs., and I have lost 62 lbs. We are loving our sleeves thus far, and it's nice to be able to do this together!post-57736-13813667750407_thumb.jpg post-41407-13813667750807_thumb.jpg post-41407-13813667751572_thumb.jpg post-41407-1381366775225_thumb.jpg

Hi there, you are both looking great, what a brilliant weight loss for both of you and in such a short time too !

I have around the same amount to loose and it is so encouraging to see how well you are doing.

I am due to have my surgery Dec 7th.

Keep up the good work both of you and thanks for the inspiration.

Best wishes

Thanks to everyone for all the sweet replies. It's so nice to feel good about yourself every once in awhile! I can't wait to see how the rest of this journey goes. So far I'm enjoying it. I always wish I could lose faster (I'm surely not the only one), but when I see how far I've come in 3 months, I realize I never have been able to do this before, and things are really progressing well. It's great to have support from people like you who have been there. Thanks again!

FANTASTIC! I really see a ton of change in both of you. That is so wonderful!!! I did this with my hubby too and so glad we did it together. Not just for the basic things like eating the same way and exercise, but being able to really understand what each other is going through and help through the harder spots. Hubby has been a blessing to me through this, as I've been in a plateau lately and he is keeping me sane :) I also try to encourage him to exercise more. Being able to do this together is such a blessing! Best of luck to you guys, you are doing great!!

My husband and I did this together as well. We actually did the surgery 2.5 weeks apart because of the kids. I went first and he has already lost more than me!!! Men are so lucky. We are saving so much money on food costs alone!!!! You guys are looking great!!!!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
