I never ever want to sound mean' date=' but I think you dont need to pose naked and all sexually to try to show your weight loss to us. We get it, you've done really well, but really?[/quote']

I tend to agree. I mean, you look fabulous, but please remember that there are a variety of people on this site. Some very conservative.

You look great. Keep it up! You can see a big difference. Not offended here. :) If conservative people are easily offended, then they probably shouldn't click on a gay and transgendered thread. IMHO.

I didn't realize it was posted in a gay forum, as i just click "recent topics" and read. nor did I realize the gay forum was for posting photos of yourself half nude. Since this is vst and not eharmony. *shrug* . I'm not sensitive necessarily, I just think its more respectful to yourself to just pose natural and modestly. :)

You've come a long way op. :D

I'm glad I got to see the pics before they get taken down. You look AMAZING!!! Is it hard for you to see a real difference in the mirror, but are completely gob smacked when you see side by side selfies? I only ask because I can stare at a pic of new me next to old me for ages, just amazed.

You look brilliant. And you have a nice bum ;)

I have several GLBT friends and am socially liberal myself. But I don't think that being GLBT is a license for endorsement or entitlement for a different set of standards or expectations in a general public forum. I love that the OP is being really cool about it and handled it. That is classy.

I think there is a double-standard here. I have seen MUCH MORE revealing photos of women on here and they say things like they are feeling "sexy" or "empowered" - there is no difference here. I've seen other guys post very provocative pictures as well in the general forums and galleries. Feeling sexy, not shying away from the camera or hiding behind people is one of the great side effects of this journey.

If he would have entitled his picture "Excess Skin" or stated "I'm so ashamed of my body", the comments would be much different and the support would be overflowing.

As long as the picture doesn't violate any terms of the board, it's the OP's judgement and decision to post his pics here - and I would imagine he posted them in the LGBT forum, not because there might be an implied different set of morals for us LGBT folks, but because it's a safe place where like-minded people will always support him and have his back.

I find your pictures inspiring because I would KILL to look like you do now... I like having real guys willing to show off what my body MAY look like someday - I don't care if you are gay, straight, whatever - this is all our own journey and it's nice to see what the prize might look like at the end of it.

YOU GO BOYEEEEE!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
