Last Night!

Recommended Posts

Mike and I have been married for 15 loooong years. We were 19 when were married. We came from different religions, different cultures, different backgrounds - my mother said it would only last 1 year, 2 at the most!

I confessed to him later in life that at 19 I only married him to get out of my abusive alcoholic dad's home.... he understood.

Weve been though the normal events that stress a marriage; job loss, the raising of 3 kids, numorous surgeries, moving, the near death experience of our 9yr old (that was at the hands of Mike), and of coarse, always being broke......

Lastnight we were able to "get away" and go to a restaurant - ALONE :eek !

At the restaurant he kept looking at me and telling me how good I looked.

After a couple of times, I knew he was sincere (lol).

But, IT happened on our way home...

holding my hands and looking at me he told me something that made me cry (still does)....

he told me that he was more 'in-love' with me at that moment then any other time in our lives together.

Isnt that beautiful?

So I want to send words of warning out...

Caution: I share this moment with LBT to warn you of the results of Adjustable Gastric Banding - MORE love and romance in marriages are linked to this surgery!!!!

It couldn't happen to a nicer lady. That's very touching and I'm so happy for you. That's wonderful, Paula.

I'm such a sucker for a good love story! Paula, he doesn't love you because of your band or weightloss. He loves you for you!! Since I've had the privilege to meet you, I know he's a very wise man! I have this quote setting in my master bath, "The Longer We Love, The Stronger We Love". You've built a rich history together. And you have your "Golden Years" still ahead! Enjoy this three-day weekend together!

ha! He tried! But since we still share our bed with "others", he was unsuccessful.

Nothing more romantic then having this wonderful dinner and time together, only to go home to a bunch of WILD animals!!!!!!

Kinda kills the moment, you know?

Awe, I got goose bumps, that was so sweet. Thanks for sharing that with us, although, your DH would probably have a fit if he knew, that is if he's like mine.

Sounds like you were sinking in the quicksand of a dysfunctional family and reached for a tree root to pull yourself out, then had the vision to realize you had grabbed a golden bough instead.

Congratulations! You are doing an amazing thing. You are realizing that you have diamonds in your own back yard.

Great story. That's not just a moment. It's a treasure.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
