Husband/Wife, both post GB interested in swinging



Recommended Posts

My husband and I both had the RNY - me, 2 1/2 years ago and him 10 months ago. We love each other desparately, but we're feeling sexy and playful. Any other couples out there post gastric bypass who have experience in swinging? No judging, please 🤗

My wife and I shared the same interest, and ironically, an old church friend of mine (he was actually on the board of elders) invited us to his swing club. It's called GottaSwing. What a fun way to get some exercise! Anyway, every night the group meets, everyone switches partners with everyone else. Many nights there are over 100 people in attendance, so it can get quite exhausting, but it's really a lot of fun. To tell you the truth, it was kind of intimidating at first, but each Friday night begins with a 30-minute beginner's dance lesson. There is always a live band, too!

Love, love, LOVE your response! The groups we've found are on the internet, Couples Next Door and Swing Lifestyle - warning, do not open these in front of minors or at work ;-) We've tried swing dancing, and it's fun, but no quite as exciting for us :)

I'm living in a non sophisticated area and a little naive, I guess. I though at first of those big tall swings they have at the State Fair. You get on, then they swing you to the side when they start turning and it's like being,on a kiddie playground on steroids. Duhh i completely disregarded the other 2 kinds.

I'm at goal with loose skin and all and we have a great time in the life. Honestly, I don't like to shed the shirt (usually keep a compression shirt on) and literally have no butt (like rocks in a balloon!) but most people don't judge and we've had a blast since the lbs started dropping. Much more attention! We're on SLS mainly... best site out there.

... to think I ran across this looking for weed related posts for some reason. I'm really in the expresslane to hell!! B)

I'm dying here trying not to laugh my a$$ off at @gr8ful1 's super innocent reply!

I totally understand the OP's question and than I read that I'm like... WTF? This dude's church friend got them into swinging and there are 100+ swingers? And dance lessons and a live band? Too funny!

My wife bartends and I bounce a few parties for some friends of ours that run a Swingers Event. The groups are always fantastic bunches of people from all sorts of walks of life and shapes and sizes.

I'll have to see if she's got any information on groups out your way @IttyBit

I totally forgot I started following this thread out of curiosity back in January. And when I got a notification, I was like... what in the world did I have to contribute?! Turns out, I was just a nosey body!

      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!!
