Hi I was sleeved 7/29, I find that watering down everything helps, walking a lot, and using gas x has helped me be able to drink more full liquids

@mahtab try not to be upset , a lot of the ladies here are very correct, for people that don’t have as much to lose, we will lose slower

So here we go, for the people who follow me all ready know my details but here they are again ( I’m 37 , 5”3, 200 pounds, type 2 diabetic, intercranel hypertension. I am pre op for the sleeve, waiting on my next appointment hoping for a surgery date) .... so here is the deal my wife has not been all that supportive of my surgery since I started the process, saying things like “ you will always have a belly” and you will never be your high school weight” and the worst one is “ I don’t know if I’ll be attracted to you when you are so skinny” .. horrible right! Well she is a big girl herself at 5”4 and 298 pounds!! I’ve never bugged her about her weight in the 12 years we have been together.. but now that I am working on getting this surgery she wants to lose weight too , and that’s great!! Unlike her I fully support her... until I found out how she wanted to do it ... HCG diet!! .. I tried to tell her very gently that 500 cals a day is unsafe and of course you will lose weight .. you are starving!! Plus those “shots” could be filled with anything they don’t come from a medical doctor!!! But she yelled at me saying I WAS THE UNSUPPORTIVE ONE!!! Can you believe that crap! So here we are .. here doing this crap and now trying to convince me to do that same... hell no .. I’m getting my sleeve !!! Rant over

@therealmelshere he has never expressed it but he is almost 30 , and he has never dated, he will agree that a man or woman he sees is good looking but that’s about it. We don’t bug him about it

@therealmelshere! My brother is asexual!! He has never dated , he finds Both men and woman attractive. But has no interest in dating anyone let alone being intimate with them.

@ajtylo thank you so much for the explanation!!! And welcome

@ajtylo... can you clarify what you mean by “play” I truly hope it’s not what I’m thinking. My post is a safe space for all people but especially the LGBT community. So if you are here looking for something.. this is not it.

Good morning folks ... ( morning for me I’m in California) thanks for replying nice to know there are lgbt people and ally’s here ❤️

Hi!!! Whelp I put a lot in that title lol.. but I’m a black 37 year old femme lesbian, looking for friends, or who knows ! Tell me about yourself !

@hop_scotch oh no my goal is 135-140!!! I’ve never been a 100 pounds in high school lol. Would like to lose about 65-70 pounds or so.

So I’m in the pre op phase and as I get closer to getting my surgery date .... I’m becoming increasingly excited about losing weight and being slim again!! I feel kinda bad about being so excited... my reason for getting the surgery is not purely weight-loss. I have type 2 diabetes that is under control but I’m sick of taking medication, also inner cranial hypertension. I’m 5”3 and 200 pounds with a BMI of 34.5 ... so I know I won’t be losing more then 100 pounds at most. Yet and still .. all I can think about is getting back to my high school weight ... so am I a horrible person ?

I have a fair amount of stretch marks on my body already .. across my mid body, along my upper back, my belly ( child birth), and my breast... please tell me ladies and gentleman.. once I lose weight how bad is it gonna be .. so I can mentally prepare for all these changes. Thanks fo the support ! ( stats I’m 5”3, 200, carry my weight in my belly)

@recidivist I am approved already , I’m in the pre op stage.

- wear shapwear because I want to and not “need to” - wearing a dress that form fitting - no more capris !! I’m 37 don’t wanna look like a older woman in the summer any more lol - wearing all my heels again for more then 20 minutes - no more jean muffin top - tucking my shirt in - cheaper meals !!
