I've lost 50lbs already. I have noticed I have more there then before. Not only in length but girth too. I've also noticed how much stronger it is since I've lost the weight. Can't wait to lose more.

Why is the men's room so boring. Somebody please bring up a guy topic of conversation. I got nothing.

Where in NY? I live in NY as well.

I would love to do one as well.

I think that's a great topic Daddyof4. So many occasions and traditions are food centric. It's just are culture. It made us fat without us realizing it. Good for you for breaking the cycle and doing something out of the comfort zone to better yourself on this journey. I did the complete opposite, the fam took me out to bfast then to the movies with popcorn and then out for diner. Although me and the wife shared which was awesome. I would love to hear from more men that are trying to break the food centric traditions if you are write a post. BTW happy fathers day everybody

Fat bottomed girls make the rockin world go round.

I have it a plateau as well. It is very frustrating considering it's only been 5 months since surgery and I've only lost 50lbs. I know I shouldn't say "only" but I was expecting more. The positive is at least I'm not gaining and I feel great.

I'm on it. name is: mjs3974

I have been banded 3 months. I have had a few sodas during that time. Sometimes I've had good experiences sometimes not. The truth is I didn't have soda again for almost 2 months post banding and I lost the taste for it.

Evere feel like there is no fill even though you know there is fluid in your band. I have been banded since 1/30/12. I have lost 50lbs since then. I have 3cc in my band. Some days I know its there cause what I eat and how I eat lets me know its there. But today not so much. Today was oatmeal for breakfast the band let me know its there. Then at lunch I had some frozen yogurt with toppings and I knew that wasnt a real lunch so I got a bean burrito which had to be a pound just beans cheese rice sour cream whole wheat tortilla and I was able to eat the whole thing. I know I shouldnt have but it was yummy and so far no ill effects.

Going to a diner tonight any suggestions?

It is true. I'm down 50lbs. and I can't believe how much stronger it is. It's a great feeling when you've been overweight for so long, to lose the weight and rediscover your manhood.

I was even told it felt bigger the other day.

Hello all I just got my surgery date for Jan. 30th. and now i'm freaking out. Even though I researched this procedure for years prior to this point. Even though I did all the pre-op testing I guess I never thought I would get an actual surgery date or one that is so close. But I guess if I don't do it now I never will. The psychologist at the surgeons office said not to do a food bucket list because the band shouldn't stop you from eating the things you want you can just have them in smaller quantities but I hear such horror stories of people no longer eating things like steak or chicken or even eggs and I'm freaking out thinking i need to do a food bucket I haven't yet but i so want to. So tell me guys its not as bad as I think it is, is it.?

So today is my second post op visit. It's been 7 weeks since I've been banded. I might get a fill today my first one.

It's a real holiday look it up

Its steak and blow job day everybody. Look it up if you don't know what it is. Happy Holidays.

The reason I like fluffy girls as nothing to do with there insecurity in fact I've been with big women that have a lot of confidence and are sexy in there skin. I like fluffy girls cause I think a women is sexy with curves.

My wife and I are both heavy. I had lapband surgery and she did not. Eventually I will be thinner than she is I already lost 30lbs. It doesn't matter to me though because I like thicker women.

Well I am 5 weeks post op and I have lost 25lbs total so far and I am very pleased up to this point. It has been the easiest 25lbs I have ever lost. I am wearing pants that are 2 sizes smaller and some of my shirts and my scrubs from work are swimming on me which is a nice feeling. I was supposed to have a fill my first 1 this Friday but its my bday so I postponed it for a week. I am looking forward to my 1st fill because since I have been back at work and i don't get lunch the same time every day I'm looking for the fill to take the edge off cause sometimes it can be awhile between meal times.

Add me mjs3974

@chubby- your starting weight was 400lbs I find that hard to believe you didn't have stamina issues.

What about stamina? How has that improved along with the weight loss?
