Has Your Spouse Benefitted From Your WLS?



Recommended Posts

My husband was about 45 lbs overweight. Wore most of it around his belly. He's a solid 32 pants now. Lost 35 so far and is working on the last 5. His biggest motivation is daughter is getting married in June and he will walk her down the isle. His only suit was way to tight and I told Hume he would walk buff before we were spending money on a suit to hang in the closet. He tried the suit on and viola! He said the other 5 lbs will make it hang better and I agree. He brags that with my surgery we got a twofer. Now I just wish I could show him what sliming feels like:)

You two could be me and my husband.... Soooo many similarities!!!!

My husband is by his standards about ten pounds over weight. He has lost five of that. My teen son has been eating so much better and has not complained at all. We don't has soft drinks in the house hardly ever and I cook smaller portions for them of my old recipes. I'm only two months out so I don't eat the same things as they do but hopefully we will all be on the same page soon. The funny thing I wanted to add that I noticed was my chihuahua has lost weight though. I didn't realize how much I fed her off my plate until I see her slimming down. She loves the walks we go on also. So I would say my surgery benefited my fur baby as well.

My boyfriend is trying to gain weight while I'm trying to lose. In all actuality it's not as bad as it seems... Really it just means high Protein meals for both of us and hopefully soon exercise as well!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
