Don't worry, to prove your point a lady should be by shortly to make a comment on this "Guys Only" post.

Discipline isn't a war to be won, but rather a battle to be fought daily.

I don’t think most of them do it intentionally. I think they post not realizing it is in the guys only room. I posted in the women’s only room once on accident. It was a thread on boobs and bra sizes and I made a comment trying to be funny and then I realized I shouldn’t be in that thread.

We ARE a rare bred on here. Look how infrequently men post in this forum.

From what I’ve see we men don’t tend to add a lot to to the message boards.

I just found this guys only section today while scrolling down the main forums page and seeing girls room. I also posted in a topic about saggy boobs to be funny. Pretty sure it was in the sleeve section but F me if it wasn't now I gotta go search for it, damn.....

Anyway good to see we have a "guys room" where woman "don't" read our embarrassing questions or comments. LOL Welcome gents, hope to read more and many of your comments.

I think a lot of the "women in the men's room" posts are due to the App being crap and not telling you *AT ALL* where you are and where you are posting.

Or they just don't care that this is a Men's only room... Seen that a few times,
But post in the Women's only room and watch them lose their collective minds.

Considering how infrequently men seem to post in the Gals Room and how frequently women show up here to add their two cents, I'd say they just don't care.

Alex, is there a way to add a "sex" or "gender" (touchy these days I understand) option on the Account Settings / Profile and make each of the rooms blocked for the opposite sex? This way men and women can feel just a bit more comfortable with the Sex/Gender specific questions? I mean, there isn't anything stopping anyone from viewing posts or commenting on either forum. Doesn't seem like it would be a hard addition to make from a website/programming point of view.

I've been wondering the same thing.

Good suggestion. We had this back in the day. I will see what we can do to add it back.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
