So I mentioned weeks ago back in pre-op that I was making my husbands current weight (106kg) my target that I was hoping to reach by surgery day 2nd May.

My weight loss slowed down in the final week before the op so I only made it to 111kg by surgery day.

Today, 1 week post op, when I weighed myself in the morning I was 106.4kg (and that was BEFORE the laxative and stool softener I took the last few nights kicked in, as hadn't BM since 2 days pre op).

I told hubby I've matched him today, woohoo! And he congratulated me...

then tonight while visiting my parents I had a simple text message from him... "104.0kg"

....

cheeky bugger

he'd weighed himself again and found he's lost 2 kilos this past month (likely because I've been leaving out rice/pasta from pretty much all family meals, plus "eating healthier" is kind of in his mind at the moment).

So.. the spouse-weight competition goal posts have now shifted to 104kg... but no matter... I should be under that one too within the week :)

At 6'3" and solid built (and with his entire stomach still inside) he won't be able to stay under my weight for long :)

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go ice 3 dozen birthday cupcakes for my daughter to share with her class at school tomorrow... life is cruel eh? ;) :399_birthday:

My 6'1 hubby only weighs around 170 (77kg) so I've still got a way to go before I get there, and he'll probably drop another 5-6 before then!

Congrats on making your first goal!

I was thrilled when my weight got lower than my husband's, too, and now I have him by 15#s! :blink: Its funny how you feel like a hamster on a treadmill until all of a sudden those 2-3-4#s a week start adding up.

      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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
