Hi new people.

Anyone watch the Palin and Biden last night? Constitutional gay rights but not civil???

Curious.

Hey Juli, I did.

I wasn't totally happy with either answer...but I know that we have to do these things in steps. Right now my concern is for the country surviving after all the abuse Bush put it through. So constitutuional rights is a start and as soon as I get that I will be on the front lines of the fight to have the right to marry.

I think that Bidden doesn't care if we get married, I honestly don't think that McCain or Obama does either. Saying that they believe in the term "gay marriage" I do think would cost them the election, as much as it pains me to say. But the younger generations are coming up there. I think in the next 10 years, if we keep fighting we will have federally recognized gay marriage. The old prejudice farts can't live forever. There will always be the Palins of the world, but we are going to outnumber them.

Thats my two cents.

I heart lesbians.

Hi all,

I'm Macro (37yo female) from Australia. Banded on 2nd July, 2009. I have just had my second fill and am now really learning the lesson of chewing and eating slowly. Didn't have ANY restriction with first fill, and didn't think the second one would make a difference either (how wrong was I!!?)

So glad to have found this LGBT forum, thank you so much whoever started it!!!

Hey everyone! I just got banded Oct 30th and feel really good.

I am bi, I guess. I have had relationships with men and have met a lot of women, but usually I am just really attracted to women but not in a relationship way, if you know what I mean. I suppose one day I will figure it out. I am single now and just having fun.

Nice to meet you all!

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
