Recommended Posts

My boyfriend is just the same..until I bought a new pair of Tanga Panties and a new bra..he wasn't allowed to get into them until he told me how i looked :)

Just a suggestion! It gets the point across and you get something sexy out of it!

My hubs didn't start saying things to me until we were out with some friends and they were telling me how great I looked. I think he needed to see that I *liked* hearing these comments. Now he says stuff all the time to me. :) Thank goodness it's all GOOD stuff... not like "Wow, your butt sure is saggy." LOL Well, it IS saggy, but he knows I don't want to hear that.

Boys! Honestly, I've come home with my hair cut short and a very different colour and neither my hubby nor teen son noticed - even the dog was looking at me funny!

Try asking "Can you see anything different about me?" and twirl around. If nothing else it will make him sweat...

My hubby would be just as likely to respond with "oh that, well you've had that surgery so what did you expect?", as if that makes it not worth commenting on.

Of course if you are getting into shape and he's not, he may be feeling pressure to do something himself. Or fearful a more complementary Prince Charming will take you away.

It may also be emotional. He's been on the roller coaster with you all these years and wants to be supportive by actually not saying anything.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
