I will weigh on the 2nd for my 6 weeks.  My wedding ring comes off now - first time in like 5 years.  I am going to take it to the cleaners and make it nice and shiny.  I love my wedding ring........my husband on the other hand isn't being so nice.  I wore my new size 18 suit to work and everyone was making a big deal and made me spin around for them.  I heard like 20 times how great I looked and came home all smiles.  When I told him about my day he said, "what is sad is do you finally realize how bad you looked before that they would all be making such a big deal over someone still your size?"  That just crushed me and now today everytime anyone said something about how good I looked it just made me sad.

Giving your dh an imaginary slap upside the head.  Sorry you had that experience. It's wonderful when co-workers dote on us! And it doesn't mean you looked bad before, they are just excited you are getting healthy, and I'm sure looking more confident and delighted. KEEP UP THAT FEELING!!!

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle
when the sun comes up you'd better be running.

OMG!! I'd slap him too... I agree with Kathy!! Does he understand that just because someone says how good you look, it doesn't mean that you didn't look good before? Size 18 is great!!! You're doing amazingly and he's being a jerk!!!

I am down total of 48 since surgery (53 since 10 day preop diet). I haven't taken my measurements...and really need to do that so I can start comparing!

Well I weighed yesterday for my 8 weeks and lost only 1 lb
2weeks- 16lbs
4 weeks-20 lbs
6 weeks-29.6 lbs
8 weeks- 30.6 lbs

I did have a weekend trip to Chicago- tried to be good but when you eat out, you get into a lot more fat and calories than if you had eaten at home.  Am increasing water and walking.  I really wanted to be at 40 lbs for my 3 month follow up and I don't think I am going to get there.
