I personally know a vegetarian vsg patient. She was reasonably successful for about 50 pounds but she hasn't dropped lower. She gets in her fluids but nowhere near the protein and she is always dragging butt. She is glad for the 50 pounds but the tradeoff for her is that it is extremely difficult to be active.

I can't say that I like this and that is fine but I eat Greek yogurt now. Cottage cheese and a tbsp of sugar free apricot jam is pretty darn good.

Put your guacamole on squares of cheese.

@@OKCPirate As a guy I've heard most of the scary marriage and sex relatables (science has found what kills a woman's sex drive-wedding cake, for every time you have sex before marriage put a bean in a jar, for every time you have sex after marriage take a bean away-the jar will never be empty). I'm quite happy to report that we have never had these problems. My wife has never turned me down but unfortunately I have turned her down 3 times in our 8 years of marriage. We both agree that our healthy ever changing sex life is one of the many great things in our marriage. I'm a lucky stiff!

We are quite sexually adventurous. My weight has a degree in psychology and studied abnormal sexualality. We aren't out there and we don't do multiple partners but we'very tried a lot of what she studied. Think of the kamasutra for modern day. I swear that I'm a thesis paper. Anyway fast forward to last night. We are having fun with my weight loss. We set sex goals together which keeps me going and excited about the next goal. It was unexpected but I now wear 32 jeans so we had to come up with a reward. This is our first food reward. Mix PB2 with sugar-free Hershey syrup and apply to your partner. Then lick it off! 52.5 calories, 7.5 carbs, 1.5 fat, 5 protein Of one of the best desserts that you will ever have!

It might be faster than you think. I'm 11 weeks out today. 4xl loose to a XL snug and 38 jeans to 32.

Currently 246 Goal 230 If I drop quickly then I will readjust my goal to 218 which will be 70% of my total starting weight.

Thanks to all of you for the support!

I don't know how I can get much smaller than a 32 waist!

Thanks for all of the suggestions!

Thank you! I will look into those.

I struggle daily. The best thing for me was a 30 oz stainless steel cup with a lid at Wally World for about $10. It keeps my drink cold and it really is a lifesaver for me.

A lot of us do sashimi but skip the sushi because of the carbs in the rice.

That chap in Hawaii has learned a lot!

Ladies feel free to comment as well! I need some help with my underwear. BAD! I've been in briefs since I was just a little guy and I've tried boxers in my adult life for about a year and I liked the support that briefs gave me. I'm due for new smaller underwear but I have a major problem. As the fat has gone away from my junk I've needed better support to keep the twig and berries from branching out. I've especially had problems with getting into vehicles. The underroos shift over and one of my boys suddenly gets a crash course in bondage and torture. That definitely isn't my thing so a change is in order. I usually wear Hanes or Fruit of the Groom. Looking at Wally World revealed that smaller loincloth equals a smaller hammock for the banana and that will only make the problem worse. Please help release me from my bonds and suggest a better fig leaf!

I've lost over 30 inches from my chest, stomach, biceps, thighs and calfs. I'm down to 246 pounds for a total loss of 66 pounds. I went to Goodwill today and bought a 17.5 shirt, a XL sweater and a pair of 32x30 Wrangler slim fit jeans! I can clearly recall being in southern California and looking for 33 pants. I would have been 9 or just turned 10 as we moved to Oregon a month after I turned 10. Sad but true... This fat man can kiss my saggy ass !

High in carbs but doable.

There is a section for weight loss vets. I believe that you have to be 18 months from your surgery date to post there but you can view it.

This exactly!

It gets better. Have you tried different types of food to see if they react differently?

I'm 11 weeks out on Monday. I went from 3xl snug - 4xl loose and 38 pants to 2xl perfect and 34 pants. I could easily go to 32 pants right now. I've been donating anything good to Goodwill and everything else will get burned in my front yard on New Years Eve! I plan to wrap up our Christmas tree with my old clothes, crank up "I feel pretty", douse the clothes in gasoline, throw matches at it and disturb the piss out of my neighborhood!

You really have come a long way! Congrats!

Yeppers! You still have to take it slow but the pain will go away.

20-40 grams per day if I'm on the high side it is because of yogurt.
