My wife and I have been married 28 wonderful years. She has lost 120 pounds and I have lost 79. We are very compatible. Our biggest difference, she loves to shop I hate it. I usually look for someplace to sit and people watch. I will admit to noticing women who are good looking while sitting there killing time.

Yesterday I was sitting, looking, I saw a very pretty face, I only had time to think, "she is nice", when she turned to me and smiled and I realized I was looking at my wife. Yes, its sappy, sounds ridiculous, but its true. I've never thought she wasn't beautiful, and I doubt she has gone more than a day or two in 30 years without me telling her so, but it feels good again.

No, I'm not turning in my "Man card" if any guys read this.

That is so sweet. I think sometimes something happens and we fall in love again . . . over and over throughout marriage. My husband and I have been married 29 years last June. Isn't love great!

Bill~ That is a very sweet story. :wink:

I hope that you shared it with her! I am so impressed that the two of you have done WLS! Think of all the extra years you will have to enjoy each other and tell her how beautiful she is!

Having us both go through it has really made it easier on both of us. When I was in nuitrion classes, there was another couple, there surgery was 2 weeks apart, that might be tough. My wife and I were 6 months apart.

Good job Bill! I love that you had that moment of deep feeling all over again. I have been married for 20 wonderful years and I am so blessed. Sometimes I do that too. Look at my husband and get that deep I love you feeling over and over again.

That's so sweet. You should tell her that, but make sure you leave out the whole looking at other women thing and say you were just looking for some other reason at first. lol It will make her day if you say it right. lol

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
