11weeks post-op
So today I'm exactly 11weeks post op. I guess we can say 2 1/2 months? As of last Thursday or maybe it was Friday I was at -50lbs! I have a total of 99lbs that I wanted to lose, so now I have 50lbs down and only 49lbs more to go. My next little goal is to lose another 10lbs in the next 3 weeks, putting me at the 4th of July. I think that would be 10lbs in 19days. Now I don't know if this is possible since my weight loss has slowed down a bit, ya know how that goes every month seems to get slower and slower, and the harder and harder I have to work to try to help it along. My trainer text me on Friday saying I need to make a goal to meet by 3weeks from then, a size smaller pants and a number. So my goal was, becuase it has been since I had surgery to have lost 60lbs by the 4th of July. I'm hoping losing another 10lbs will get me out of 16s and into 14s. Wish me luck! I'm going to the gym 4days a week. I'm trying for more, but my hubby is still being weird. He goes to the gym too, but we don't go together. I take that back we do go Monday nights together, but we don't work out together. We both do our own things. I wanted to go to the gym yesterday early evening. We weren't doing much, but he said "why? today is do nothing day, you shouldn't go" I was a bit upset about him saying that. We've had the conversation before how I don't expect him to totally be excited or super duper encouraging or pushing me to go to the gym, but that when I do say I want to go, not to give me the sighs or remarks. I think he does it because he is kinda worried, maybe a little jealous that I'm no longer the "safe" chubby wife. He's not over weight at all, and has started the gym, but I think he also thinks that the more I go, the more he needs to go. I dunno. I told him that I needed him to not make me feel bad, and if we aren't doing anything and I see an opportunity to go to the gym he shouldn't give me crap. I said "I never thought I would stick to something and see actual results, and I'm sorry you don't like to hear me be so excited and you have said "why can't you just let it happen" but I'm sorry I get excited and I want to help "it" along!" With that, he didn't say much. Anyhoo. Nothing else really exciting happening. 3 Comment(s)

I hear that it is pretty common for the husbands to get a little unnerved by our changes, I know my husband keeps making comments like I hope you don't try to trade me in for a more athletic type once you get thin & energized... He might also be used to spending the eves at home with you & feel weird about being home by himself, I guess they are not as good as us women at being supportive & they need extra reassurance from us! Keep up the good work though, you are doing great! Fab

hey chick! I agree with Fabydee. Our men do get a little weirded out by it. They want us to be healthy b/c they love us... yet they are dealing with their own head issues that we are going to dump them for someone smarter, richter, or more handsome. Dan tells me all the time "you're gunna dump me" I told him to keep talking like that and I will... becuase I don't find insecurity attractive! HA.. he thought I was being mean.. well.. no meaner than him thinking I am going to be so shallow to dis him for another dude. AND I might add, the "other dude" probably wouldn't have looked at me 2ce when I was 326 lbs! I don't want someone like that.. I want someone to love me for ME.. not because I am a goregous mamma! LOL
