I wish you were in Wisconsin

So a question for everyone.I really feel like I want to at least start talking to women/getting to know them.No sex or anything even though I’m in pain from lack of it😂Would it be wise to just get to know them?

@Creekimp13 bravo!You better not leave these forums,we need your unique insight.

@ScoutCR Thanks man.I’m just hurting inside in ways I didn’t think were possible.I just don’t understand how could I love her with my all,and sacrifice everything for her happiness,and she doesn’t even care about me?The worst part is what are son is going through now and will go through.I don’t even know if I will know what to do on a date.I think what happened is after surgery I found a new confident me!I don’t think she liked that.I believe she liked the me that believed nobody else would want me.I realize that it’s not ok for us to be treated like this!I know that there is a woman out there that will truly love me for me.I’m not taking this baggage with me I choose to release it.

You just went through a huge life changing experience.You body is doing things and feeling alien to you.But it does get better.Its a difficult adjustment initially,but think of it this way you are learning to listen,learn,and enjoy the new you!

Thanks Kimber it probably sounds lame but I could use a real hug☺️It’s been so long since I’ve felt loved.But I’m still holding out hope that somewhere on this planet there is Simone

Hi everyone.In 2015 I weighed 380 pounds and I’m 5’5.I was in constant pain from my feet,I had sciatica,and sleep apnea.I couldn’t play with my son or run if there was an emergency.That little guy made something come alive in me and I knew I wanted to live!I had surgery January 2016,and the day of surgery I weighed 340 pounds after losing 40 pounds in 2 weeks on my liquid diet.Fast forward 9 months later I had dropped a massive 225 pounds!My gastric team showed me the metric and they said they have never had a patient drop weight that fast,they actually said I was too small!😂 My ENTIRE life I had waited to hear that!My nickname is no longer big George!My gastric team also said I would feel hunger again after about a year to a year and a half.In a weird twist I’m almost 3 years out and have NO hunger!It’s strange I can go the entire day and night without eating.I actually have to look at the clock so I remember to eat😂I feel amazing and I can shop for clothes anywhere!You might be asking are those the same size 54 jeans that you were wearing when you were big.My answer would be yes I saved them just for that pic!Keep pushing and never give up!

Thank you.I realize it’s time to go.

I have only found these forums about two days ago.I haven’t really had a chance to get to know people yet.I just wanted to say thank you to the people that have talked to me.This seems like a really uplifting place,and I really hope to get to know you better.

Wow thank you so much.It might sound silly but you just made me feel amazing!

Wow thanks!I actually tried to get on the show about our marriage but never heard back😂

Thanks.I need to remember that.

Here if you need to me talk

It was like going from a Prius to a suburban 😂

I was scared as hell!The first thing I said when I woke up was “I’m alive.”.People make me laugh.You can’t win with some,they’re not supportive if your fat and if you want surgery they don’t like that either.The surgery was a breeze,I was up and walking the halls that day.I had the surgery because I was scared because my weight was going to kill me.I will say you are a very lucky man because your wife is doing this with you!

Hey girl🤗 I’m 2 1/2 years post op and have no hunger at all.It’s awesome and dangerous 😂

I work in a factory it gets hot.When I returned to work it was very difficult to get the water in.Im 2 1/2 years out now it’s ok.What I did was hydrate as much as I could before work,and every break.I’m originally from Alabama so I feel your pain.One positive the more weight I lost the less I would sweat,I barely sweat now.One thing you could look into is in some very hot environments some places use special hydration pouches.I hear a lot of good thins about those,and the people I know that use them are working in extreme heat!

Sex

I’m 2 1/2 years post op and my hunger sensation never returned.I have no hunger at all!It’s nice but scary because I was going through a busy stressful time and went 3 days without eating.I have to be very mindful to eat when I see food.

Do you still need people?

Yea I would say get the testosterone checked,or maybe he could have a vitamin deficiency.My desire went through the roof !

How you doing so far?

I lost 225 pounds and went from having a bottle rocket to a patriot missle

I’m 5’5 heaviest weight was 380.I too had all my weight in my midsection.I’m 2 1/2 years post op and I weigh 165-167.I don’t like myself naked,but even in suits you don’t see the skin.On the bright side I can easily see my manhood now.That is a huge feel good moment 😂

Thank you very much!
