I've been somewhat of of a lurker on here for awhile. I had my surgery on 1/31/07 and i am down 42 pds! My husband also had surgery on the same day and is down 52 pds. Men... blah.. always lose faster LOL. I am really happy with the weight i have lost although at times i wi**** would come off faster. At this time i am in a size 18 pant... cant remember the last time i wore this size.... its such a great feeling. I wanted to mention i have jeans in size 24, 22, and 20's if any wants em... let me know ill send them out to ya. Just drop me a message on here. Also, congrats to you all for your weight losses!

Welcome Christine, I joined on here last week. I think it is better than the Main board. That is great that your hubby is eating the same as you. My husband never had a weight problem but is very supportive about mine. I guess after being together for 38 years ( we met when I was 15 ) He has seen me in all sizes and is happy for me now. I am so happy.

I wish I had done this years ago. Have a nice week and glad you joined the Jan. Group. Roxanne

Hi Christine! Congratulations on dropping 42 pounds and so many sizes! That is awesome!!! I also think that is wonderful that you and your husband are diong this together. That would be great to have someone living with you going through the same journey. My husband has never had a weight problem but can you believe he has actually lost 8 pounds since I had my RNY without trying! Jerk.... lol! Belle

Welcome to the January board, Christine.

Congratulations to both you and your husband. I sometimes wish that I had someone that close to go through this with...someone who understood how I felt. But, then again, I wouldn't wish for anyone to have to go through everything we have to just to get to this point. You're a lucky lady...now you get to have two anniversaries with your husband!

Hugs...Suz

Hi Christine - Welcome to this board..... I'm seen you on the New Jersey board where I'm more of a lurker... It seems that on that board there are not alot of people from NorthJersey - but alot from the shore area and south jersey. Congrats on your loss..... your doing great !! Marta
