kind of impossible to not tell my wife, but she is the only person that knows. I am 8 weeks post op and no one knows anything. and that's the way ah huh ah huh, I like it.....

33 carbs in a shake? what kind? wow. I use premier. love them. how many days have you been doing this? give it 3 days and your body will adjust. it does get much easier, and before you know it..... surgery day!!! best of luck.

do not recommend gaining weight. I have read stories on here about those who gain weigh during the supervised diet can be denied for wls. use that time to start training your body for its new lifestyle. during my supervised diet I gave up drinking and soda, as well as other bad habits.

best of luck and that first step is the hardest. I was similar to you. never went to dr. in fact, this was my first time meeting with my new pcp. she had no issues what so ever. few months later... bam... sleeved....8 weeks after that... bam.... down over 50lbs. so flippin happy. welcome to the site and keep us all updated.

GUYS ROOM!!!!! @@Shace welcome to the site brother. I am almost 8 weeks out from surgery and I love it. First few days after were very uncomfortable. First week I slept in a recliner. at 8 weeks out I am down 54lbs including the 3 week pre-op diet. my life has changed. I feel so good. I often laugh at how little I eat. I love the fact that hunger no longer dictates when I eat and that I have to remind myself to go eat. getting in all my Protein and exercising like a raged man. I am pumped and ready for what the next 50 pounds will do to me! best of luck on your journey and keep us all updated.

@OKCPirate good luck today!!!!

thanks for these!!!

GUYS ROOM I have never had any problem since my teens.... no drop ever. always ready to go. 37-week pregnant wife is not amused right now.

@@Mike4132 a time or two??? how about a thousand? in fact this sub-forum seems like there is more female posts in the guys room than guys!!! most claim they don't know they are in the guys room because of the forum layout and app navigating which can be true.

Bought a costco bagged candy to hand out to the little trick or treaters (and the oldies who don't know when to stop). Taking my three year old daughter and 37 week pregnant wife around the neighborhood. I am dressed as a doctor, daughter as a really cute butterfly. I wonder who will tire first? the wife or little one? forecast is looking dry which is better that the down pouring commute this morning. excess candy will be delivered to my co-workers as I try to fatten them up while I drop weight....oh how the tides have turned!!!

Congrats!!! the same day my wife is giving birth to our second child!! Good luck and best wishes!!!

269!!! Halloween goal met, then destroyed by an additional 6 pounds!!! Thanks for this challenge.

congrats and best of luck on approval. plenty of time to start changing out your pantry for sleeve food!!!

Holy shit bro! nice work. Best of luck adding on some muscle!!! there is definitely muscle building high calorie shakes out there. I am super curious about the time line and progress from your weight loss. did you keep track of month by month? how many days did you work out? intensity?

Count me in!!! Thanks Susan for organizing these things. This one will help me keep on track through dessert season!!!

That is soooooo freakin' awesome. I need to dig through my medical history too and see similar target goals like that!!! Congrats to you!!!

So, I just got back from my first ever trip to Trader Joes.... Awesome little store. Although small, it had a ton of variety. I got some stuff for the family that I wouldn't normally buy for my self (cookie butter, triple ginger snaps), but I also got some good food at good prices. nuts, dried fruit, prosciutto, mozzarella, greek yogurt kale dip, artichoke hummus, and some frozen veggies (soy Beans, spinach). told the check out guy that it was my first trip, and was rewarded with a free reusable bag!!! awesome.

272 Halloween challenge goal weight minus 3 more!!! one more week to go!

6 weeks out. having about 4-6 ounces in the morning on work days (6 days a week...). no troubles. don't need it, but enjoy it.

go to amazon and order some lead underwear for use a weigh in time. seriously though, what are your insurance requirements? how many years history? bmi? co-morbidities? slouch a little when they measure your height...

hope you can find a good answer to this. are you counting calories? exercising? following the mantra of Protein first?

Booze, specifically whiskey, is likely the leading cause of me getting to my highest weight. I am proud to say that I have not had a sip of booze in over 2 months. That is the longest it has been in over 15 years!!! not too tempted but the thought still sits in the back of my mind. I know I will drink again, but I won't let it control me. (I am only 6 weeks post-op)

never see again!!! that is the attitude!! keep up the great work

i showered the next morning. it was glorious!
