I haven't had any taste changes at all. Don't know why. But I haven't tried much 'bad' yet. Had a bite of cake today. It was good. Bite of a donut it was good. I think I like salmon now. But nothing major.

I don't think he's had the surgery...

That's the problem. I never liked having my picture taken so I don't have a picture like that. I also don't have many friends.Post some on here and we can judge the best one. We are in the same boat, well, close, not exactly. But after losing 76 pounds so far I'm a lot more willing to put myself out there, not ready to go on match or jdate yet but maybe at 100 I will be. I walk around the gym locker room now without a shirt on, I wouldn't do that at 485That's the thing. I only have one pic of myself I took myself. bro, take some more, like that one person said i think blu go pretend to do something, i've never been a fan of group pictures, you are going to have to do it sooner or later may as well get judged by a bunch of fatties and ex-fatties first to weed out the bad pictures, personally i don't think i photograph well either but that's because i used to feel like shamu on land

Hahaha. Hahaha. My brother went to UF. Went to a few games, it was the Tebow days when they regularly dominated FSU

I thought Jews went to UF?

Being an ex-chugger myself I didn't really have an issue with the transition, after the surgery I was so scared to drink anything that's what kept me with sips, a few days later the sips got a little bigger, a week out a little bigger. I do find myself putting way more in my mouth than I should but I swallow 2/3 times instead of all at once. Not really sure how I remember that but that's my new habit.

Isn't booze a no go for 6 months?

I eat my 4oz at lunch and don't get full I eat 4oz at dinner barely make it through. Lunch is usually tuna,lunch meat, chicken, dinner has been chicken, turkey of some sort, meatloaf. Anybody else like this? I'm only on whole foods for a week so it's still new territory for me, but I had a bite of a donut today, holy crap good

Don't apologize for being a chosen person, having a big nose is how we identify each other. I bought a new kind of nose clip for swimming, it doesn't fit, lol I just shook my head at the fanny pack comment.

I love tall girls, being 6'3 myself!!! Wish there were more of them out there!

@canyon Nothing you said is true at least for me. I haven't looked for years. Being a gentleman who doesn't lie and gets your door doesn't get you anywhere anymore. It's all about looks for people around my age. I used to think once we all got to 30 women would wise up and want a nice guy. Nope. They still want aholes.

3 sizes how? Man or woman? I started in a 5xl shirt that was pushing a 6xl now I'm comfortably in a 4. Pants were the stretch 56 now comfortably in a 54. Down 69 pounds in the 6.5 weeks since 2 week pre op. I can't complain about that but I've got 250 to lose. Three sizes in a month? I know all clothes brands fit different so I'm curious if people are saying the same brand they are down three sizes in a month or so.

I don't get it, I thought if we ate our bariatric vitamins we wouldn't lose hair?

amen

Being a lifer on match or eharmony, even tried tinder with a real profile and swiped yes to literally every woman until I ran out of women and got three bogus matches. Online dating isn't for fatties, at least not for guys, women are just as shallow as guys, it's either that or women just don't like nice guys, sorry I don't beat you or leave you wondering where I am all the time. I've dated on and off again but nothing has ever worked out because I realized they weren't the one. I'm looking forward to losing my weight and finding the girl I deserve.

I know someone whose husband sneezes, I want that!!! I don't know when I'm full I just eat my serving.

No staples in my pantry yet, but plenty in my stomach. If the joke was already made, sorry, I didn't read all the way through

Yes. I've been mushy/puréed for over two weeks and this new found hunger has only been around the past two/three days

Sleeve 8/19. Never got hungry until two days ago. Is that normal a month out to start to get hungry? I'm eating 8oz shake for Breakfast 4 oz for lunch and dinner nothing else I don't like this hunger feeling

I can't watch food shows they make me hungry

It's amazing there are so many different 'procedures' for the same 'procedure' some don't have a 2 week diet some go home same day, I'm surprised there isn't more regulations on the surgeries.

I wake up a lot feeling like I cheated on my diet the previous day then go wait a minute I was perfect yesterday, 8oz shake, 4oz lunch 4oz dinner sugar free pop. 3 weeks post surgery that's good to me!

What don't you like about sugar free pops? I have one every day for my 'dessert' if you want to call it that I drink about 80-100 oz a day 3 weeks after surgery and about 90% of what I drink is crystal light, but I only use one packet per gallon compared to the recommended two packets. It makes it taste not like Water but not too sweet.

I'm waiting to get cleared on my one month to swim, I swam a couple of years ago for exercise, I'm assuming you started slow and increased? I never thought I'd say I'm looking forward to exercising.
