I really wish ppl would fill out their before and after pics ...and their profile !!!...it is such an inspiration to so many to get advice and good tips ....then when u look at their profile and see no history and / or pics its a bit discouraging !!!! ::: .....just sayin!............also when responding in a forum i find it helpful to know the persons surgery date !!!!

At my homegirl's bachelorette party, a stripper picked me up with ease and bounced me on his thighs.. I was sooo turned on at the fact that he did it with ease that I cannot wait for these positions as well! Good for yall!

New position for us: He picked me up, pinned me against the wall rocked my world.
New position for us: He picked me up and bounced me up and down on his thighs.
Love this whole cave man thing with him picking me up and tossing me around. That wasn't going to happen when I was fat nomatter how comfortable I was with the extra padding.

Thats right...
Out with the fat - in with "all that"!!!
(yes, a little corny..)
We all have our insecurities - but as long as me being naked doesn't negatively affect his erection, its all good.
I cannot wait for my sleeve.. I am hoping for increased flexibility and even more confidence!!

My bf and I were able to have sex standing up!

Don't be worried! Those foods pass through your stomach very quickly--leaving room for more. You really won't start to feel full until you start eating foods that are more dense.
Believe me, when your tummy has had enough...you'll know! I feel a slight pressure and can sometimes feel my food "stuck" in my throat. Then I know I've overdone it... I never felt that on purees though.

You're doing it wrong!!!

I miss soda more than SEX

My friend named hers Evilene. Because her sleeve can be evil. Jelly is a good girl.

Yup!!
Pedro pouch is his name
Loosing weight is his game
Tee hee

Dont judge, you may be in the same position after surgery yourself!!

Maybe its because you have only been here a couple of weeks, but your post ( in my opinion) is insensitive and judgemental... People who need this surgery are not typically good at staying on diets, or are yo yo dieters who sometimes fail when it comes to always doing the right thing. I am a professional dieter, but after my surgeon had me on Liquid Protein skakes for FIVE weeks, even commercials for McDonalds looked like gourmet cuisine...
I think some come here to vent, some come to be talked out of a temptation because this? ...Is a SUPPORT group...
To say that people are "lacking in common sense" because they may need help to stay on track is just ... mean.
I hope if you have a rough day and are tempted, that you get the support you need and are not belittled.

Last post I was 268, and that was about 6weeks ago.... my weight is now 250.4.... still going down! I am halfway to my goal!!! 75 more lbs to go!

My preop started on the 1st as well and I am down 30!

My Pre op started Dec 1st and total loss so far is 21lbs. That's a lb a day so I'll take it

For anyone who cares. Things have really changed. After much prayer my husband and I worked it out. Things are even better now that we've put all the cards on the table. I'm not glad that it happened but at least our bond is much stronger.
Best of luck as you all work out your life changes.

Well, my only advice to you is this. . get rid of the scale and weigh only at the doctors office. That scale is going to get you more depressed then you can imagine. Good luck

i had my sleeve DEC 3 2012. I'm not going to lie i woke up thinking what did i do? i'm now post op day 14 and love this new life! i don't know how much weight I've lost other than pre op because i'm trying my best to weight until my first post op appointment so i can have a big number! any tips yall can give me on food recipes would be greatly appreciated

My surgery is on December 12, 2012 at 12 noon. I'm so excited and of course a bit nervous. But, looking forward to starting my new life journey. Wishing all you December sleevers a Merry Christmas and Blessings beyond your belief.

I thought this would be an encouraging thread. A reminder for those in stalls (me!) that success isn't just a number on the scale!
1) I'm off insulin with awesome blood sugar readings!
2) I've stopped snoring. My husband will check to be sure I'm breathing at night because I sleep so quite and sound
3) My energy has soared. Soared I tell you! I hand tilled the garden a couple days ago.
4) My husband can easily wrap his arms around me and cross them!
5) I am engaged in my life. Not on the sidelines anymore.

I had some greek yogurt today that said `pleasure on the bottom` it had honey on the bottom....don't be fooled!!!! It was still bad LOL! OK, it wasn't HORRIBLE...but i wouldnt go as far as calling it a "pleasure" either
