How Many Guys Are On This App

I'm READY!!!

Met with the surgeon last week and February 22nd can't get here soon enough. My last official class for the 3 month program was Friday. The bariatric surgery review board will meet the Thursday after Christmas and discuss all possible patients.

As of Friday I had successfully lost 36 pounds which I am VERY proud of!!!!!!!!

I'm currently preparing and tasting various kinds of clear Liquid Protein options so I know what I will be able to handle during my clear liquid phase.

My motivation has been 6 preop photos that I had my wife take before I began this journey. I keep them in my bedside table and view them EVERY morning and night. I will NEVER let myself look like that again.

Thanks you all for listening. I wish everyone much success.

And most importantly...being a loser can make you feel like a winner if the company is proper!!!!!!!!

I'm my case I had more when I was 350lbs, my wife was a chubby chaser. Now I'm 195lbs and she says "I miss my big bear". Also I have been a garage door repairman for 20yrs now and now my customers no longer are flirty lol.

The first 40 pounds I lost I was getting compliments. Now almost 85 pounds men aren't looking at me. Maybe they think I'm too skinny or anorexia looking. Idk but as long as my hubby is checking me out that's all I care about lmbo

I have lost 55 pounds now, and plateaued at 236 (grrrrrrr!!!!). For the most part all the comments are from fellow guys in my office. I have talked 3 others to seriously consider doing it too, inadvertently. I emphasis its an individual choice not taken lightly.

No comments from other women except the wife. She's raving and Friday was literally squealing over having a little butt now. I probably would get more compliments if I got some smaller outfits, but they are only recently bad enough that I need some new clothes. But Im fine with just the wife compliments. I spend my free time with work and Masters schoolwork anyway. And now squeezing in some exercise!

Its funny because I didn't believe her about the butt! I had to run and look in the mirror and squeeze it to believe it! Lol.

I wake up every day rubbing the belly in disbelief!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
