JamesHRN 114 Posted August 5, 2012 Does your "full liquids" include Soup? Yes as long as the soup is strained you would want to go with cream Soups Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gustavo52974 369 Posted August 19, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gustavo52974 369 Posted August 20, 2012 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. 2 Jlewis229 and chitowngirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesHRN 114 Posted August 20, 2012 Yes I can understand one of my friends that likes bears does not want me to lose the weight but then said don't lose to much of it. When was your surgery date mine was July 7 2012 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gustavo52974 369 Posted August 20, 2012 Yes I can understand one of my friends that likes bears does not want me to lose the weight but then said don't lose to much of it. When was your surgery date mine was July 7 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesHRN 114 Posted August 20, 2012 What was your starting weight and now weight I started at 280 I'm now down to 210 I can wear size 34 waist down from 44-46 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gustavo52974 369 Posted August 20, 2012 What was your starting weight and now weight I started at 280 I'm now down to 210 I can wear size 34 waist down from 44-46 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...!
