Looking for gay male post-RNY buddy



Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I had RNY bypass conversion from a non-functioning band on the 27th March and so just starting week two of my fluids diet and getting a bit fed up with Soups and milkshakes but have learnt that if I let my fluids drop too much I have problems.

Have one wound that's not healing too well, but saw the walk-in centre nurse yesterday who cleaned it and gave me new dressings and I'll see the practice nurse tomorrow hopefully.

Otherwise doing okay, have been out a few times, get tired quickly but working on building up my daily step count and once I'm below 150kg I can start using my WiiFit again which I'm looking forward to.

Not sure if there are any other gay men out there who had RNY, but getting some interesting responses from some of my gay friends who have always known me as a chub/bear. It would be great to connect with some other gay men who've been through this and talk a bit about the community issues which I think are different from straight people's experiences.

Anyway would be good to connect with others online.

Best wishes

Justin

My surgery isn't until May 5th so I can't give ya any pointers, but I definitely can understand what you mean with the gay thing lol.. I'm lucky in the sense, me and my partner have been together for 12yrs and have an almost 5yr old son ???? so I don't have to deal with gay bar scene anymore (by choice) I just couldn't take the fake a$$ people anymore... Best of luck to you on your journey ????

I'm not a gay male either but would like to wish you luck on your journey. I feel your pain with the Protein Shakes. Totally sick of them too! I hope your wound heals up soon.

      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.
