Hello everyone, I am seven weeks out, and approx. 50 lbs lighter with 25 lbs. to go reach my goal of 200 lbs. Feeling great, having a wonderful time researching new material on nutrition, Vitamins, and different types of food to help me in my weight loss journey. At the gym and meeting new people in the support group has been a significant appreciation to my self esteem.

One of the best things to happen to me is my sex life is alive again, my wife says she can but her legs around me. Things are happening to this 59 year old guy that I thought was long gone forever. Waking up morning feeling great (you guys know with I mean), not having to take the “little blue pill” is a big thing for me. We are doing things we haven’t done in years. Satisfying my wife offers me great appreciation for our marriage. Its help our life in so many ways. Going to movies, eating out, walking in the park, or just relaxing at home and enjoying each other has put a new spark in our lives. This is life is all about, when two people can recognize the value of love making after 25 years of hardships and successes. As a consequence, one of the most interesting things is, it can only get better.

As always, comments welcome.

Ok, I am only 27 but I have seen a huge change myself. It amazing what can happen when you feel sexy again!!!

I am 33 (34 in 19 days) and I know. I feel sexy again and I would have never thought that I would feel sexy again. And that is another reason why I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!

I've been with the same wonderful guy for 30 yrs now, and our sex life is even better than when we started out. Being at my goal weight makes me have a much better attitude about my body, which of course is the most important aspect of a healthy sexual relationship. I'll be 50 in a few weeks, the last child is now out of the nest - so I'm looking forward to the next years my hubby and will have together having fun (sexual and otherwise!) and being healthy enough to travel, walk, etc. Glad to hear you're in the same boat!

      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.
