Susan, I don't mean to be a tattle tale, but why are SO MANY women posting in the Man Room? Is the request for us to refrain from posting there no longer in effect, or just not being honored?

My guess is that people might not know that something is posted in a specific gender area. I think most people read posts by looking at what's new in the RH side of posts, and you don't really see there what forum something has been posted in.

Yet here you are.

but why are SO MANY women posting in the Man Room? Is the request for us to refrain from posting there no longer in effect, or just not being honored?

I have questions for you - are any of the men complaining about it? Then why is this so important to you? Why is this your business?

This and maybe we (men) value and enjoy womens' opinions so much that we don't mind you participating in our posts in the men's area.

Actually, we do have quite a few men and women complain to us about this. There is only one area of the entire forum that is restricted to woman only, and one area that is restricted to men only. This is so members may discuss gender specific issues with each other, without the fear of a member of the opposite sex coming in and embarrassing them, turning it into a joke (as we have seen happen quite often), etc. Therefore, we do ask that our members respect our rule that the powder Room is for woman only, and the Men's Room is for men only. We do our best to enforce this, but cannot be everywhere at once, and count on our members to let us know when other members are in violation of this.

The new app doesn't show which forum the post is in.

Wouldn't it make sense to make the sections invisible to the opposite sex? Until then, it's going to keep happening.

I bet I'm not the only one that will turn a blind eye to a woman commenting in the men's section.

Good luck.

We plan on putting this into play but it's going to be 2-3 months before it's actually in place. Until that time, we ask our members to try their best to follow our rules and guidelines when posting within these forums.

Sheesh, ever think of changing your name to "Don RUDE-olfo". I was just trying to clarify what the situation was (possibly a technical issue), since it seemed to me the expectation had been outlined pretty clearly in the room's description.

I don't belong in the Men's Room because I don't have a d**k. Same reason I won't engage in a pissing match with you. Thank you, Alex and Susan, for answering my question.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
