I know I'm late to the game, but I started at 600 pounds, down to 488 for surgery.

Starting as soon as I woke up from anesthesia, I started getting intensely emotional. Not in a "bad" way, like depression or anything, but EVERYTHING was making me cry..... the fact that I couldn't fart, the fact that I FINALLY farted, looking at my partner, looking outside at the sun and trees and birds, etc.
Did anyone else go through this?
My partner said it was like I was pregnant. I told him that if I was, he was definitely the father!

I would suggest trying Premier Protein Clear - they are only 20 grams each (compared to the 30 in their shakes). My post-op book has a listing of Protein sources with the amt of protein and how much is needed to get that protein. I can try to scan it if you would like to see it?

Ladies, while we understand that you may be curious as to what is going on in the Man Room, Alex and I respectfully request that you refrain from posting in this forum. The purpose of having a room for the men is so they may post about subjects specific to men only, and feel comfortable in doing so. Many times these are sensitive issues, and this should be a safe place to discuss male related problems without the fear of being judged or being afraid that their issue may not be taken seriously. We will be, in turn asking the same of the men in regards to the powder Room. Thank you for your cooperation.

All this stuff is true. I would however like to give a male point of view. Men who are obese are not "given a pass" as some like to say. I too thought it was more accepted until I lost 100 pounds and it is amazing how differently people treat me since I am now skinny. I am asked if I need help more quickly in department stores, I am addressed more quickly in car dealerships or whatever environment I show up to. I am treated more politely at the doctor/dentist office and the list goes on. The weight discrimination is there for men too.
