My husband is awesome

 How wonderful, I have been with my husband the same amount of time.  It wasn't always a bed of roses - sometimes there were weeds, but I plucked them right out, heh.  We have had some rough times and came through them even stronger.  I, too, feel like I am finding myself again.  It's a great feeling.  Congrats on your success.  

Yeah, don't get me wrong- it's not been happily every after the entire time (I don't think any relationship can be), but he's a super level headed and much more patient person than I am.. so it works!

If he were as stubborn and neurotic as I am.. that would have made a different story all together!

Thanks for all of these positive posts! I'm also blessed with an awesome husband. He went on Weigh****chers with me several times (and lost more weight than me! ). He heard me flip flop between the pros and cons of weight loss surgery for years and just listened. Finally one day almost two years ago I told him I needed to know what he thought about it. He took a deep breath and told me that he loved me just the way I was (and I knew this already because he showed me so over the years), but that he was concerned about my health (high blood pressure, sleep apnea) and said that if I wanted to do it, I should go for it.

I warned him before surgery that I was going to lose "the girls" and he said not to worry. He said we'd fix them if we had to. He still hugs me and grabs me and tells me that he loves my body. It's so great because although I look better in clothes (with Spanx on), I feel like my body is a mess. But he loves me any way.

Girls, we are truly blessed with the special men in our lives! Let's always continue to be grateful for them and pray for those that don't have the support from our families that we have. Let's continue to be their support and cheer them on their journeys!

Thank you for sharing! In the midst of getting a divorce, it's great to know there are some good ones out there.

Glad he's such a dear.

Mine's been a winner as well: patient with my freakings out, helpful with keeping food flowing for our daughter, endlessly understanding. I feel incredibly lucky.

Mine has been awesome, too! He goes with me to my support group meetings, he came as back up when I took our Beagles and did the Dog Day 5k, and on the first night I volunteered at the hospital to speak about my surgery, he came strolling in with a grin on his face and sat in the audience.
When one of the potential WLS people asked the question "How has your spouse been through your whole journey?" I answered "Ask him yourself, he's sitting right there"...I almost lost it...my heart was just full of love and pride for my guy!

This experience has made us stronger and I love him more every day!!

As a single girl in the lunatic filled dating world, it's so refreshing to hear about such sweet men being out there.

Its really nice to read these.

I know I make fun of my DH and call him Forest Gump (he is!), but he's a good egg and is very supportive.

Here's to all the good guys in our corner!

Wow!  That is so beautiful!!!  I love it, love it!!  Thanks for sharing. 

It's nice to see all the DH love going on here.  I have a fantastic DH and feel so lucky to be with such a great guy and an amazing dad to our kids.  He can drive me nuts sometimes, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
