Some of you know that my husband had VSG back in April so he's right at 2-1/2 months out from surgery. He's doing great! I can't remember his surgery weight. He was right around 285-290 when he started on the 6-month pre-op diet. Today he weighed in at 223 lbs.

One of his dreams is to get back into a pair of Levi 501's, size 36. I've been telling him that he'll easily get into a size 34. He said I was nuts, that he's never worn a size 34 in his life. Well guess what? We did a little clothes shopping last night and just for kicks he grabbed a pair of those jeans in a size 36. He was able to get them buttoned up! Now, they were tight and there's no way he could sit comfortably in them....but he was JAZZED to realize that this goal is almost within his reach! And that size 34 isn't just a dream but very do-able.

This morning the man woke up before the alarm (that never happens) and beat me downstairs to start working out (that also never happens). I guess there's nothing more motivating than the anticipation of pulling on a tight pair of jeans that makes your ass look great

Wow, your husband is doing great. If he can squeeze into a size 36 after 2 1/2 months, he will most likely pass up that size 34 and go right into 30 - 32 at goal. I am at goal and that is where I am. Never did I think I would get down to that size. I started laughing when I read about your husband beating you downstairs to start his workout. Getting into a smaller size pair of jeans will motivate just about anyone. Tell your husband I said good luck and he will reach his goal before he knows it.
