From my workout yesterday. Yesterday was cardio and back day with the weights. Those last 20lbs are very very stubborn as far as going away. My tracker says that 11lbs away from goal, but its more like 20 to 22lbs actually.

I have always been Social but the weight loss has gotten me back out in the World and the Confidence has really came back. The Great thing about all of this is that todays woman is so much more open to FWB and it allows you to have multiple Partners. I am so thankful for this tool that has helped me get my Life Back!!!

6 1/2 months out and 52 lbs down

Thank you for the compliment. I truly do appreciate it. As for if I would do the surgery again, yes I would. Even though I didn't suffer from GERD or acid reflux, and instead of hair loss, I got body Hair growth, I did have memory complications post surgery. It was ruled to be caused by the general anesthesia that I was under during the sleeve procedure. It took the better part 10/12 months for my memory to come back to the level that it was at pre-surgery. That's the main part about this surgery that personally suck for me. So if I could do it again and avoid the memory loss then without a shadow of a doubt I would do it. But if knowing that I would suffer from the short term memory loss stuff again I would have been for a long time about what I need to go through the surgery or not. Because the memory issues did have some effects on my everyday life from my job performance even the relationships that I was and during that timeframe.

Sorry, but I can't stop sharing this ****. Every time I look at it, I am like WOW, I'm actually doing this ****. I am actually changing who the hell I am.

Lol, thanks Tink!!!

Absolutely!

Half of my bodyweight-not half of my extra weight-gone!

This was my last comparisons pictures from about 5 weeks ago. Pic to the right was about 6/7 years ago maybe 10 to 15lbs away from 600lbs. I was at or near my heaviest weight back then. And I'm now here in the 240-250's weight range. That what my sleeve has helped me achieve so far.

Yup this above. I would also add to also be kind to yourself. Get it in your head that you are not going to lose weight every day/week and some days you will actually gain weight. Its natural as your body adjust, retains/release Water and what not. Also to add on to the goals thing, try new things that you haven't don't before that you felt like your prior weight before limited you from doing.
Case in point this last weekend I went to a water park and rode a 2 story water slide. No way you would have gotten me to do that 3 years ago. You wouldn't have gotten me in a water park, let along in a water park shirtless and riding stuff like that. Take it all in and enjoy your accomplishments. Cause some days when its hard, you will have these sort of memories to lean on to help keep you moving forward.

Still progressing! Slowly but surely...

Commit yourself to the changes. Be open to trying new things. Track your food and exercise, even (especially) when you're disappointed with yourself or embarrassed. Make small changes one at a time. Celebrate your accomplishments (and not just the scale ones!). Write lists of your goals, your achievements, etc, so you have them to look at when you need them. Surround yourself with people who help you do your best and support your healthy lifestyle

OH THIS TOTALLY HAPPENS TO WOMEN. Tumblr and a bullet are my best friends. At 41 it's like I got a double helping of HORNY. [emoji48] The only perk for me is my husband started dieting and lost weight which raised his libido...WINNING.
DOWNSIDE-I am in grad school and have been taking my ADHD meds and anti anxiety meds and it has put Water on my fire. I can't wait for this class to end cause I will STOP those meds.

I recently started intermittent fasting, two meals a day within a 6-7 hour window. I'm really finding it works well for me, but I'm 6 years post-op, so I have a bit more capacity to get good nutrition in those two meals. I read about it from others on this forum several years ago but it sounded too hard. Turns out I adjusted fairly rapidly so I'm not really hungry when I'm fasting, and it's really helped with disciplined eating.

Not sure about intermittent fasting, however I am fasting now for Ramadan and am on day 27. Had been going through a stall for the last 3 months before Ramadan, since the fasting started I am down 3 kg. No food or Water from 3:30 am till 6:30 pm. I have 2 small meals between 6:30 and 11 pm. I am not stopping myself from eating anything I want but I try to focus on Protein first and getting enough water in during those hours. I used to exercise in the hour before breaking my fast in previous years but have not had the energy to do so this year. Not sure if that helps but good luck and all the best :-)

My wife can't deal with my size now, I used to bottom out with deep penetration. Now, I get 3/4 inside and I'm hitting bottom. It hurts her when I thrust at times. I have never the one for quickies or a minute man as it takes me 45 minutes to 2 hours to get mine. I guess I will be fapping a lot now until I can get my hormones in check. I know I'm giving out too much information, I'm trying to get some advice on the veteran guys out here who's been through what I'm going through.

It has made my day to read this I swear, that comic is amazing. I didn't realize this topic was in the mens discussion room. Holy fkn funny.I'm not sure if this happens to women, but if it does I don't know how I could actually be hornier. I'm 30 so I'm already in my sexual prime. If the situation was backwards, I sure wouldn't change my partner if he couldn't keep up, I'd just make him watch ahaha ok ok back to work, somehow supposed to concentrate..

+1 Fap

I just fap a lot more. Wife can't keep up with me right now since we've been really busy.
It's actually rather annoying.
- See innocent news article or flyer ad
- Has female with normal looking womens clothes on
- Get boner
- Have to stop what I'm doing and go fap or else get a huge boner in a public space
