    Sex performance

    its a dramatic difference, not just in size obviously, but youre not out of breath, youre a hell of a lot more limber, you last longer and all those hormones will kind of make you real horny quite alot more. so prepare the woman in your life.

    Alcohol

    sir, well april is going to be a bit early for you this year. you have to use the honeymoon period to its fullest. you can drink beer, but to do so this soon, is wayy too soon. Can you drink beer eventually? sure. as long as you counter it with exercise. I actually work as a brewer for s commercial brewery and I am heavily involved in the beer culture and scene. You can do it. you just have to be smart about it.

    Struggling

    Thrift shopping enabled me to buy whole new wardrobes multiple times and now I have a wardrobe I'd have killed for before, Versace, lucky, Armani, givenchy, Gucci never paid more than 10 bucks for them, my jeans collection is the envy of those who know me, try it, you'll love it. As to not wanting to eat, that's fine , just don't then, eat when you get hungry not when the click says to, this surgery is also to stop hunger, so use this time to it's fullest
  7. For me it was on my family was only not fighting when they were at the dinner table so basically the only time they weren't arguing was when they were eating and as result I created that quiet happiness , to eating.and just grew and grew from there. ALso my father of hoarded food especially sweets, used to keep them hidden in places all around the house where us kids couldn't get to them . and that was a big thing that made you always want the hidden treasure of food. That and I came From a large extended Italian family, and the good times were always getting together with family and it was always about tons of food. Separating food from happiness is a battle in itself.

    Guys who started in the 240s/50s

    you can do a lot better than 200 sir, trust me. Youve got it in you. at 5'9 i started at 408 and made it down to 170 in 368 days. while you cant afford to lose that much weight. you sure can lose a lot more than the additional 40 pounds. Try to set a bigger goal. at 200 pounds and 5'10 you'd still have a BMI that makes you clinically obese. You can do this. its a lifestyle change, not a diet. Keep up on the forums ask a lot of questions and dont blow your honeymoon period on wasted calories. The gym is your friend, it always will be, and so is your sleeve. You can do this!

    Food is my drug

    You are correct though. 100%. It took a few therapy sessions for me to realize, my parents who fought like dogs and cats and my family in general did, were only quiet and happy when we were eating. As A result i equated food with happiness, and well you get the picture. Coming to terms with that has big the biggest part of my journey. Good luck, you can do this.

    New Job Opportunity

    Well, not exactly what you wanted but since I had my surgery and lost the weight, I've been promoted 3 times, and now head up my department. So in a way Yes, this enabled me to do that. SO it has enabled me to be a lot better at what i do, and Others dont judge me the same. I think there is often a subconscious reaction to the " fat guy or gal" that people do treat you differently. If not openly different then subconsciously for sure. When you lose the weight etc, people see that as a sign of responsibility and change, and as a result, things happen.

    What all changes?

    sexually its night and day, had a great sex life before, but its like putting a twin turbo on your fun bits afterward. not only did i go from 5 inches to a nice 8.5 after, you can now , do more with what you have as well. Now sure there are skin issues for not looking so great in the nude, but i was prepared for that. and yes the stamina etc is so much better now. i keep my wife worn out thanks to the uptick in sexual appetite. And i do echo the others sentiments on how people treat you. its also night and day, i always had great friends to help me and etc but everyone will treat you different, most of it is completely subconsciously, but it is a big difference. had my surgery hit my goal weight a year later and int he months that followed, I received 3 promotions 2 bonuses and now i lead my team of people and I am the " go to guy" people see you as now being responsible and capable when you lose, but the fat guy, not so much. kind of sucks but it is true.
