  5. I am so very sorry to hear you lost your partner! I always made my surgery known upfront! I don't want it to be an issue after I found someone and truthfully, if it is an issue, they don't really care about you, but I know it's very intimidating! Atlanta is an awful city to try to date in, men here are extremely vain! My boyfriend knew about my surgery upfront, knew my body wasn't as desirable as I wish it could be but, be said he thought I was cute then and now, so I knew it wasn't a problem! You can and will find another man, good luck!!!!

  9. Haven't been on in a LONG TIME! I posted some new pics! For some reason they are all F*#K@D up as far as being upside down, etc and I have rotated them and saved them but they still revert back :-/ but you can rotate them to view them. Anyway just wanted to update and share my progress...I am down to 170! 5 lbs to my original goal! I'm thinking I may try to get to 160 though depending on how i feel/look at 165. Hope everyone is doing GREAT! Johnathan
  10. Hey Everyone! Just wanted to make a quick post with my stats since it's been FOREVER since I've posted! I am currently 173, I am 101 down from when I had surgery 7/25/12. I've got 8 left to go until my personal goal of 165. <3 my sleeve! Hope everyone is doing well! Would love to hear from some of you I used to talk with a lot. Johnathan

  12. Was looking through and had a question. Is testosterone stored on men's fat cells as well? It would explain why I always want to have sex lol. Sometimes I think I drive my boyfriend crazy Ha!
  13. My last month is when I really started feeling really good about myself. Believe me, I don't discount it! Lol I tell everyone! Lol I don't care if they don't like or approve! I'm proud as hell and nobody will take that from me! But it's different for everyone. I'll talk to anyone about almost anything lol
  14. GURRL! Idk how I would have reacted but I think i would have felt insulted. Actually I know I would. They have no business talking to patients about that sort of thing with patients! You did good though, I don't know if I could have kept my composure had I been told my sexuality is nasty.
  15. Thank you! Just wait til u get close to goal! You'll feel so good about yourself! I'm much more confident than I've ever been! I want b*****s to look when I walk in somrwhere! Lol
  16. You have to be on the main website, go to my profile and vote my albums/gallery.
  17. You go to my galler/albums and that is where you post. I'm from Atlanta, Ga!

  19. Welcome tlj483 & Grek79Ital! Glad to see more guys on here! The board is pretty sporadic with posts, maybe it'll start being a little more lively! Johnathan Btw- since I haven't posted an update in quite some time, u started at 274, and am now down to 195 just 5 months later!! Only about 25ish to go!! Couldn't be happier to have made this decision!! Good luck to everyone that has just started out!
  20. Just thought I would update. I started at 274 and am now at 198! Wow that feels good! I've lost 76 lbs since July 25th, that'll be 5 months on Christmas. Was really wanting 185 by first of year but I'm good with the track I'm on. I stalled for a Few weeks. And I hated it!! But it's over thankfully!
