BUT

I was wondering how are the guys in here, if you are a man please reaply to this thread so we can know how many are here.

I'm curious, casue I have some (male only) questions that I wanted to ask, and did not feel comfortable posting it outloud.

Ask away, Brother!

For goodness sakes...for all of the bra, boob, pregnancy stuff we hear around here....we need a little more testosterone now and then. And so...I raise my Dewalt 24volt drill in the air and grunt. with my steel-toed boots stomping...ahw ahw ahw!!!

Welcome, friend!

I am a guy also, but what I have noticed is that alot of the guys do not post often. I post from time to time but come to the bb a few times a week. Of course there are exceptions to the rule but that is what I have found for the most part. See ya around!

Yes, we men should stand up and be counted - I didn't know what being in a minority felt like until I had my lap-band.

I haven't had any male-specific problems with the band, I have to say. Unless you count getting chest hair caught on the surgical tape. :)

So let me get this straight, this testosterone filled male with power tools wants _less_ talk about boobs!?

Just busting :)

I think we do need to hear more from the guys around here.

Me Paul, Big Man.

Eat meat, drink beer, take woman, hammer wood, hit other man, watch football on big screen.

Now, that's testosterone!

I like the boob talk too. What's the problem? I just don't like to hear them discuss their periods. Too much information for me.

I'm surprised that there's no men's forum here. Not that that we don't want you here, but it seems kind of hard for you to find each other in the vast universe of this community. Just as we have girl stuff you don't understand, I'm sure you have guy stuff that we don't understand. It would be nice if you had a special place where you could talk about those issues specifically.

Not that we wouldn't peek. LOL

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
