Lol i had surgery with my husband on march 6th and man!!!!! He is dropping weight like crazy!!!!! And im slowly, little by little loosing. :-( he gets on the scale and everyday down like 5 pounds!!! I get on the scale and might have lost .4 or stay the same a few days. Its aggrivating!!!!!! Why cant we loose like that? He doesnt walk or work out and i walk my butt of 11/2 -3 miles a day! So im venting.... Guys suck!! :-)

LOL! We are so blessed! Just think what will happen when he reaches to a certain point, and you surpass him! hahahaha. . . who'll be laughing then? Remember, slow and steady wins the race. . . not that your competing or anything right? Keep up the great work. . .

Yes we do! (hope that makes you feel better ) Geneticlly speaking woman are predisposed to maintaing fat. Men have a much higher muscle mass percentage and muscle is the fat burning factory. I.E the more muscle the more fat lost. You should grab a couple dumb bells and hit some curls everyother night. It will build more muscle and probably keep you from killing him in his sleep. PS- on the bright side you are losing!!

This is totally true...I had lost 50 pounds in my first month. Now down 85 pounds coming up on 3 months post op. But its not a marathon! as long as you're losing thats all that matters right?

It can be frustrating! My hubby started his lifestyle change the day I started my pre-op diet. On my one month visit he borrowed the doctors scale. I had lost 33 with the sleeve, he had lost 28 ON HIS OWN. Now 3 month out he is at goal at the 40 pounds he wanted to lose, and I'm still chugging along lol.

Lol i am proud of him but it frustrates me! Im so impatient! I want to be loosing as fast as he is so i can reach my goal! He is only 60 pounds from his goal and im 120 pounds from it :-( and have lost 43 pounds. :-( i hope he doesnt mind being thin while im still fat :-( because i have a feeling its gonna take me a long time! In all trueness, my title should read... Guys rock! Cause they can loose weight as fast as they do! Lol but i just envy him!

Oh thank you! So, this is the scientific truth to why men lose faster yes...

But venting is still necessary!!

Anyhoo, to the OP - I so feel you on this! My Hubby isn't even sleeved and he can lose faster than me. He will just say to me one day (which was even recently may I add!) Oh... I need to lose a few... and the next week he can get back to eating anything he wants because he's already looking thin.

Bah.
