single lady over here, pound dropper, and getting lots of attention from men.. but i turn them down cus i dont know how to act lol... i like being single.. for now.. but we can talk... lol

Here from Miami midtown area. Dollar tree carries sugar free Syrup. vanilla caramel French vanilla butter Scotch . One dollar

First real "encounter" since the surgery (lots of fooling around, but yesterday was... the full meal deal). And... guys... wow. GET THIS SURGERY.
Before the surgery, I was a real "one minute wonder" (if I could even get lucky; at 338, it doesn't happen much). I would be panting and wheezing and see spots, and I was lucky to even be able to finish. I was used to the woman not... finishing, either.
Yesterday.
SEVEN. HOURS.
She had more... moments of joy than I could count (maybe 12? 15? 20?), and I had... THREE.
THREE. In one night! Guys, I'm 42. That just doesn't HAPPEN to guys my age.
And it certainly never happened before the sleeve.
Good god, men, if you have ANY problems in that area at all and are pre-sleeve, RUN, don't walk, and get the surgery.
UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE. I thought that stuff only happened in porno movies...
Ok, I'll shut up now. But... wow.
Sore... exhausted... and happy
Edit: uh, it wasn't seven hours continuously, I should mention... 8pm till 3am, but not all, uh, action. Even at my current fitness level, that WOULD kill me. Seven hours of go... rest, chat, laugh... go... rest, chat, laugh... repeat until too sore and exhausted to continue! And NOW I WILL shut up.

the only person i have told are my parents, my bff and a friend of mines who we initially talked about doing surgery, he recently got sleeved, him being a month ahead of me, i am pending on my last appointment for everything could be in place with the insurance. My bff has diabetes, the same age as me and has a child.. along with diabetes she gets high blood pressure and excessive Migraines n other medical stuff, but more problematic is the diabetes... i told her about me doing the surgery.. but i feel that ever since then we have not been the same as we were.. She does not judge me, but at the same time she feels like "oh you were doing it, you lost 50 pounds before", well that was my first time losing so much weight, n guess what i gained it back, n its been hard to lose it the second, third, fouth, fifth omg many of times!!!.. n you guys have head of this " getting surgery is like the easy way out, like quieting!".. so far we have small talk here n there, she was around 270 with the baby 285 after n got diagnosed n lost a whole bunch of weight, she is currently around 170.. idk how she lost all that weight, in so little time.. but she asumes that i can do the same thing too.. but her weight loss is not so healthy because she is getting worst, always in the hospital... i am young she is young, but i dont want to end up like her so there is no questioning the sleeve!!!.. i dont want to be pregnant with 260 on me!.. so yes friends do change!!

A broken heart is a difficult thing to deal with. Lord knows I have been there! But my faith healed me and brought me out. Girl fall on your face and pray to God that his will manifest in you and your son's lives. We have to realize that everyone that enters our lives are not there for life. I once read some where that some people are in your life for a reason, some for a season, and some for a life time.
Girl I know all is earlier said than done but God is Real. Stay at the feet of Jesus and watch how he will give you peace that surpasses all understanding. Peace covers all because life will take place but how will handle it determines how life handles us. Darling shake yourself pray to your Daddy in heaven and have faith that he will make everything alright. I love you through the spirit and so does God! ????

i just told my mom, my best friend, and a close friend whom we had already plan to get surgery together. i did not want to tell my dad because he says no to everything, always listens to the media and his missed informed friends.. But when he found out, since i was in a out of the hospital, plus my night stay at the hospital for sleep study test, he knew something was up, when i finally told him he snapped n started offending me, and saying that i will not have the surgery lol.. i told him i am an adult now (22) and dont need them to sign a consent form for anything!.. i felt bad putting him in his place, but what the heck its my time to live now! and i am thinking about a successful future.. how am i going to be an obese nurse? or doctor?.. so there u go, also people at my job are very judgmental so i will keep it a secret from them.

congrats on ur sleeve! walk walk walk n sip sip sip...

I agree the Jerky is a good way to go. fruit and vegetables, while important, should be a low second on the list to Protein. Protein is so much denser and takes longer to process.
2,000 calories? Really? That's a huge amount considering everything. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I've exceed 2,000 calories and I do triathlon training, burning 1,500 to 5,000 calories per workout 5 days a week. It sounds like the food addiction still has ahold of you.

You can still have RnY after the sleeve. It would help you lose more with the liquids all over again.
BUT, I personally wouldn't do it. I have read recently that there is no real calorie mal-absorption, only Vitamins and minerals. I may have done it for a year of free calories. Now, some research is revealing that's a myth. Then you are just stuck for life with Vitamin issues.
So what is the answer? The same boring answer it's always been - less calories, more exercise. UGH. I don't like it either.
Since you are used to taking in a large amount of calories, maybe just choosing very low calorie foods that you can fill up on would help.
I only eat between 800-900 calories a day and my body will not lose unless I also exercise. Even on these low calories, if I go a few days without working out, my body will have the nerve to GAIN a pound or so. Without my sleeve, I would never be able to eat this few calories and it's apparently all my body needs to live on.

Kneels and prays-" Lord let this happen to me!"

I was trying my hardest to be nice.lol mlk said it best. U cannot drive out darkness with darkness, only light will do that...or something like that

Enerfina, I like your post..u tell him.

omg i was talking to one of my co workers about excess skin since he is also a personal trainer, n he was telling me just run, n drink water.. then he said the only people that get excess skin are those who have weight loss surgery, those cheaters taking the easy way out" i gulped so hard because i got weight loss surgery n i don't consider myself a cheater nor taking the easy way out, its really hard, what the hell is he talking about, so ignorant, u don't know what we go thru, how we feel.. u cant say things like that if u haven't experience it ur self. so i told him, what ur crazy i applaud those people for having balls to drastically change their body permanently for their well being. n i just left because i was so mad at him... but people are so ignorant. go ahead girl educate that person!

at least it was a stranger and not your own family!

My next vlog will be about weight loss surgery stigmas. Someone actually had the nerve to message me on YouTube and inform me that I'm taking the easy way out. lol She ain't gonna know what hit her

Lol, I need to find a sugar daddy to pay for plastics. jk, my bf loves me the way I am but.... I would love to fix some of my saggy skin. My boobs were immune to the weight loss for awhile but even they are shrinking and going south a bit as I get smaller. I look at my past posts on this thread and just shake my head

Be cautious, because you probably still have a lot of numbness and you may not be able to tell just how full you are (or how much that food is pressing on your fresh staple line).
You will NOT fail. This isn't going to be like any other diets in your past. This is a totally new way of life and a new way of eating. Your relationship with food is (and will) change radically. The sleeve will work... but you do need to follow all the rules laid out by your surgeon's team. If you want to maximize the effectiveness of your sleeve, you need to try to keep your rebel-side in check for a while!
Also, liquid and mushy foods don't tend to fill you up like "real" foods do. You'll feel much more restriction once you are cleared for regular foods. But, no need to rush it! Right now, your primary goal should be healing and nothing else.
Congrats on your new sleeve!!

You look beautiful!!! N 45 nah! U look like ur in ur 20's! Gorgeous!!! Keep it up ur doing great!

In the recovery room! No, just kidding!

Hello I don't have any pics right here and I'm not "done" yet. I am 5'2". I also lost 40 pre-op. I am now a total of 115 lbs down. I went from 262 to 147. Does that help? And there are tons of us shorties on here

I get the hiccups if I eat a bit too much or eat too fast You'll figure it out eventually. For now though, definitely only eat what you measured and wait a while before eating again. You really don't want to push at this stage.

Omg... So far 22lbs down... Since (May 15th)... It took me a whole year to loos all dat weight one time... Lmao!!

well screw them lol by the time ur ready to shop for sexy clothes u wont want to shop at TarJey lol.. cant wait to spend my day at the mall.. going window shopping tomorrow lol take a few pics wat the hell try em on too lol...
