Good thing your not doing it to please her. Do what you have to do, for what EVER reason you want to do it. Just because she's your friend doesn't mean you owe her any explanation for anything. That's your friend, you had to know that she's a light weight hater!!! My sister WHOM I LOVE so much, I knew she would be very very very negative about it in so many ways. That's just my sister I've known her my whole life. So guess what.....SHE WILL NOT KNOW UNITL ITS DONE. I haven't told her and will not tell her. My mom knows and respect my decision, because she knows my sister will ultimately try to make mountain out a mole hill. Do what you have to do, if she decide to come along for the journey..... COOL!!! If not, pray for her and enjoy the new you. God bless

I also can, which is why I put that in the original post. My question was why should he have some sort of disclaimer attached to his dating?

You discovered something you couldn't overlook so you moved on. But to say he should just go on dates like, "hold up, before dessert you should know I have a little d**k" wtf?

I don't expect women to say "oh yeah, I'm super loose so don't expect any friction."

I'm above average in length and girth at my present weight. I just had surgery last week and I get to add to what I already have with weight loss? Outstanding!

Woooow over 600... You did WELL!!!! EXCELLENT, AMAZING...WONT HE DO IT!!! God is good

So it's a go!!!! Thank you for the prayers!!! I'm so happy to start this journey with all of you!!!

Hi Ebony, I can't say that I no longer have diabetes. But, I can say, I haven't had to take any medicine since I ve had the surgery Feb 20th. Amazing to me because I was where you are. Just remember everybody is different . Well wishes to you.

I totally get it!!! But, what i realized is that without this tool I see where I would've only continued in my foolishness with food. It's know different than a no good man (or woman) that you won't leave, a dead end job that you stay at. ITS TIME TO shake THINGS UP!!!! GET OUT OF "THE FAT THOUGHT" FRAME OF MIND. We've been their far to long. When i cook for others or go get dinner for others, I do wish that I could. BUT IM GLAD THAT I CANT. IM sooo weak in my own strength and I know I would've have fallen over and over again and remained in my rut. My new normal is no way easy, but I'm sooo glad about it!!! Thank you Jesus. Just like any other lost that you have no control over, it get better with time. There's sooo many different variations to the food that you use to eat, just a healthier version of it. I JUST LOVE THAT!!! It will be ok....BELIEVE THAT IT WILL...KICK DEPRESSION TO THE SAME CURVE YOU KICKED OTHER PROBLEMATIC THINGS IN OUR LIVES. You've taken charge of you life. NOW WALK LIKE A BOSS AND GO GET YOUR BLESSINGS!!! HAPPY EASTER #RESURRECTEDFEB20thSLEEVER2017

Yep pretty much, I wrote exactly what I meant and I am glad you understood it as I wrote it.
You can't love someone more than they love themselves and you can't fix them. If her friend is eating that bad when they are watching, what do think they are doing when no one is around?
Her friend has to live in their body and they have to make the right choices.
You can take an addict to rehab but you can't make them get clean. Her friend has been to rehab and still is using.
The program that her friend is in, isn't offering the right support, and that everything in moderation idea is fail. The friend is losing right now because they are 2 months out, but by the time they are 6 months they are really going to be pigging out. It is pretty obvious her friend is not only a food addict but also has a high pain tolerance. That is the only way they can eat like that, it has to be painful. and not stop. Someone that dedicated to screwing up, is not going to stop. An intervention might actually make worse because the friend will secret eat.
She can't save her friend, her friend has to do the work.
I say this as a friend that tried to save a friend. I have a friend, well actually not anymore but that is a different topic, that had RNY about 3 year before I had the sleeve. Flash forward I am 1 year post op, and still losing and they have regained, after never even getting close to goal. I went through my entire kitchen, all my cabinets took pictures of everything I eat, provided links to stuff to buy, provided meal plans, recipes, cooked live and let them watch me cook healthy recipes. They never made it one week eating right. Eating right, losing weight isn't their priority. And this person ASKED for my help and still wasn't motivated.
You have to be highly motivated deeply on a personal level to be successful at weight loss, no one else can do it for you.
OP cannot save their friend, they are spinning their wheels. Go volunteer with the Girl Scouts, they actually want the help.

Congrats on your new journey. WELCOME TO THE LOSER'S team. Glad all went well. Blessings to you.

Hi all!
It's been a crazy 3 days! I was discharged today (thank god)! Not because of the hospital because Dr.ahmad was amazing and so were the bari nurses but I was going insane having so many wires and IV's connected to me
I took these once I got home
  

I'm having no luck either. I've sent emails to 85 different women the past week and got 1 response which I think she was just being polite. I stopped online dating and am looking for pets to adopt in my area.

We have all these newbies coming in with questions/statements that make me wonder if they ever sat down with a NUT, their surgeon or if they were given any type of pre-op training.

Is it OK to eat pizza/tacos/fried chicken? Is ice cream soft? How about milk shakes? I ate swedish fish/noodles/rice a few days post op. I am eating french fries and chicken nuggets, but it's ok because I'm ok so everyone else will be too. I want it so I ate it and I am going to get mad an anyone and everyone who tells me it wasn't a good idea.

Anyone who disagrees is mean, rude, sarcastic, judgmental, non supportive, a bully, horrible, rotten, a monster. I get that this backlash is a defense mechanism because they know deep down that they are wrong but it still sucks to watch this downward spiral that is happening here.

It's not great advice to chew and spit. It's not great advice to move along with your food stages because (you think) your body is telling you that it's OK. (Your body does NOT know best or you wouldn't be in this spot in the first place.)
Vets should leave because all the above advice and pandering and coddling is MUCH better than real, honest, truthful, experienced answers.

It's a freaking $h!tstorm out there the last few weeks. Seriously.

It's Lent time,tell them you gave up meat and fast food. I been wearing that out!!![emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
