male only How Many Guys Are On This App

I'm READY!!!

Met with the surgeon last week and February 22nd can't get here soon enough. My last official class for the 3 month program was Friday. The bariatric surgery review board will meet the Thursday after Christmas and discuss all possible patients.

As of Friday I had successfully lost 36 pounds which I am VERY proud of!!!!!!!!

I'm currently preparing and tasting various kinds of clear Liquid Protein options so I know what I will be able to handle during my clear liquid phase.

My motivation has been 6 preop photos that I had my wife take before I began this journey. I keep them in my bedside table and view them EVERY morning and night. I will NEVER let myself look like that again.

Thanks you all for listening. I wish everyone much success.

And most importantly...being a loser can make you feel like a winner if the company is proper!!!!!!!!

Ok men, heres a question how have you handled womens responses to your weight loss, In all the meetings I had to go through before I had my surgery we only talked about womens responses to all the attention they get from the men....the last comment I got was damn girl...lol I knew I would be getting comments but I couldnt help but roll my eyes...

[Jeff 43]

Being preop and only down 35 pounds I'm getting NOTHING here...LMAo

[Tammy1975 36]

Hey I am sure you will get something sooner or later....I still see myself looking like the old me and I have lost 48 pounds since having surgery on 10/30/12...but the one person I would like to hear the compliments from isnt giving them...soo...I just roll my eyes..lol

[Jeff 43]

Is the hubby holding out on compliments???

[Tammy1975 36]

I'm my case I had more when I was 350lbs, my wife was a chubby chaser. Now I'm 195lbs and she says "I miss my big bear". Also I have been a garage door repairman for 20yrs now and now my customers no longer are flirty lol.

I never got them before so I wont expect them now...lol

Thats just sad...I'm so sorry for you.

The first 40 pounds I lost I was getting compliments. Now almost 85 pounds men aren't looking at me. Maybe they think I'm too skinny or anorexia looking. Idk but as long as my hubby is checking me out that's all I care about lmbo

I have lost 55 pounds now, and plateaued at 236 (grrrrrrr!!!!). For the most part all the comments are from fellow guys in my office. I have talked 3 others to seriously consider doing it too, inadvertently. I emphasis its an individual choice not taken lightly.

No comments from other women except the wife. She's raving and Friday was literally squealing over having a little butt now. I probably would get more compliments if I got some smaller outfits, but they are only recently bad enough that I need some new clothes. But Im fine with just the wife compliments. I spend my free time with work and Masters schoolwork anyway. And now squeezing in some exercise!

Its funny because I didn't believe her about the butt! I had to run and look in the mirror and squeeze it to believe it! Lol.

I wake up every day rubbing the belly in disbelief!
