Yes as long as the soup is strained you would want to go with cream Soups

Yeah me too. I find it difficult though to find topics that both have to do with being gay and being sleeved. Maybe we should try and think of something.

Well, I've been getting more attention from guys who aren't into bears. That's always nice. But at the same time, I'm starting to get ignored by guys who like bears. Not sure if that's a good thing yet. Probably is. I guess it's nice to be recognized by the majority of our community rather than a subset, because, you know, being fat in the gay community is the #1 crime.

July 9th, 2012. So we're pretty close. Yeah, the exact same thing has happened to me a couple times...guys telling me that they're disappointed that I've lost so much weight and that I shouldn't lose too much more. Ugh. It's endearing and equally frustrating at the same time. Don't worry...it ain't gonna happen! If I want my sleep apnea and pre-diabetic problems to go away, I can't stay overweight. They can either accept it or move on.

Wow, that's terrific!

It's all pretty much in my tickers. I started at about 255 and now I'm down to 209. I'm down from a 44 to a 40 waist, but I still have rather muscular legs, which means I've always had to get a size or too bigger than my waist.

You're progressing faster than I am...!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
