MsDad glad to hear you are doing well. As far as the editing... i'm the queen of typos so i've mastered editing with all the smilies! copy the post from this screen when you see an error, click edit, highlight all the smilies then paste what you just copied over them, then edit and re post! works every time. :) hope that helps ya!

And for the girl/girl sex... and the mulitiples, i'm a multiple girl and my partner is a one and done. lol she's always like "how many more!" hahaha i say till i can't take it anymore! and again i say "ah the joys of lesbian sex"

who would of thought a thread for the gay community full of info on lapband with bonuses on sex, masturbation, and RVs. could it get any better!? The others aint got sh*t on us!

i have a request... could everyone post a pic of themselves on here so we can put a face to the names? Pretty please. I've posted some already. I just want to see everyones smiling faces!!!!

Hey Dee, it's a 42' diesel pusher with five slides. :) Yeah, I know, it's a big one. A couple feet longer and we would have had to have a tag axle. But Sean and I are going to be living in it in a couple of years, for at least a year, maybe two so we decided to go ahead and bite the bullet and go for it.

I had my post-op appointment this morning. I can eat real food (whatever I can tolerate). Woo hoo! Skinny City, here I come!!!:clap2: The down side is that I do have to go back to work this afternoon. :tired <crickets chirping>. At any rate, I do have time to do to the gym for my (hopefully) 20 minutes on the treadmill.

I work for a bank. I could have milked it for a little longer, but I have a new employee and I didn't want to throw her under the bus for any longer than necessary.

And I did get in my 20 minutes on the treadmill this morning!! YAY!

This is definitely the best thread on here.

What, Stevee, this isn't enough of my face for you? :( I'm just a little shy...

You are brave to head back to work so quickly, Eddie. I'm taking more than 2 weeks off. I have my own company and I work out of the house, so I don't have to deal with bosses/coworkers/etc., but I have clients. I'm not telling anyone that I'm having the surgery, but I've told all my clients that I need to dedicate those 2 weeks to another client's project, and they are all cool with that. And, frankly, it's the truth. I am the client and my lapband is my project.

That's fantastic. The band is indeed a project that needs some focused attention, especially in the beginning.

Good for you.

All-

I'm off in a few hours to head north to the GF's place for the weekend. :) I'll be on the road in 3 hours if the cost of gas doesn't bankrupt me! RV Eddie, you've got to tell us what it costs to fill your new road machine so we can all have a collective gasp!

We have bike rides on the agenda, shopping for bras and grilling some good for us food planned. I'm so excited I could burst!

Yeah, the bras, you know you have a good friend when she tells you, wow you look great, you'd look even better if got a new bra to pick the girls up! This is from a 50 year old straight woman! God love her.

So I'm going to see what I can find this weekend!

Peace my queer buddies.

Juli~ Hve fun this weekend. Enjoy every minute!

Stevee~I posted a really bad pic of my nephew and I a page or 2 back. He is much cuter than I am. I can't post a pic of DP because of her job in the military. But she looks just like Ellen, and actually had a number of people ask if it was Ellen. She to the taping of the "Ellen in the Park" show 2 weeks ago, and everyone was going crazy at first thinking she was Ellen! Like Ellen would stand in line to see her own show, but acutually, that is something she might do! Anyway, she is a cutie!

I had the pleasure of testing out the "old stomach muscles" last night, and I am happy to report...all is well. :)

We are off to Phoenix today to visit MIL and relax!!! Have a great weekend...be careful (I can't help it, I am an Italian woman)...wear your seat belts. Eddie, enjoy the "shakedown cruise". Wonder if DP could handle a rig like that???? Sounds like fun, I just could never drive it.

ENJOY...HAPPY MEMORIAL WEEKEND!!!! XOXOXOXOXOX

I can relate. My friend at work actually had a "talk" with me about my saggy boobs! She said she had even consulted with her mom to figure out how to tell me that my boobs looked horrible and I needed to get new bras! Her mom said "you just have to come out and tell her" LOL. She was very happy when I walked in with some new underwires. Hey, losing 90 pounds is great but it sure doesn't do the boobs any favors, ya know?

Hello Everyone! It is really nice to find a GLBT group (thread) for LapBand folk. I didn't think there was one out there for us. I have just started doing my research, and attended a seminar this week. I really like the thought of having the surgery done. I think I would do it in a heartbeat, but I need to make sure I have the money first. I think the benefits to my health will outweigh any costs. I am 31, 5'11” and 302 lbs and my BMI is 42. I would love to lose the weight so I can do more and get off some of these meds. Anways, I just wanted to drop and thank ya'll for sharing your information on here. Ya'll are a cool and funny bunch.

Thanks for filling us in! :P Seriously though, how did it go? My appointment for my first fill is July 3 and I'm more than a bit apprehensive about it. DH has had two already and says they're no big deal, but both times he was still sore a day or so afterwards.

Have a safe trip Juli! Don't do anything I can't do yet! :D

Lucy, I would have loved to take two weeks off, but it just wasn't feasible. It's great that you're able to take that time off.

Everyone have a GREAT weekend!

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.
