ok... here is the real deal... the surgery is just the beginning... at about 14 to 18 months out you won't be able to depend on your "tool" as much. You will be able to eat more "normal" portions......

I tell everyone... and actually I have only had one person accuse me of taking the easy way out, and that was a stranger at a yard sell who asked me where I got the clothes from that I was selling...

It will get better I promise. What you are experiencing is NORMAL. It is partly a reaction to the surgery itself... and it is a reaction to change. I am 15 months out, 200 pounds lighter and loving...

I am single too... waited about 4 months before having sex...but it had nothing to do with the surgery and everything to do with meeting someone I was attracted to... Love dating almost as much as I...

I will admit working out this way is way more fun then working out in a gym LOL... one of the guys I have been seeing likes to take all the credit for the weight I have lost.. and I let him... its...

He is a keeper Dominique

Mike you are just to cute for words...just get out there and meet someone.. remember it is confidence that is sexy...

I know the feeling about being uncomfortable... but a better love life is one of the perks that come with WLS

One of the great things about WLS and getting healthy is rediscovering our libido. But it is really more then that... it is the confidence we find in ourselves that makes it all possible, even more...

this is true and it is also a shared positive experience which is awesome for any relationship... Everything you do together will only get better... sex is better life is sweeter...

so are you, Josh... you guys are rocking it.. both of you are so blessed to be able to go through this with each other

It is my opinion that the sleeve is the best option for the most normal life after WLS... that is why I chose it... I am so much more physically active now then I was before my surgery...

4. I feel sexy
5. I am sexy...
and yes that includes all the loose flabby skin and tube sock boobs... its life after having put down almost 200 pounds ( I refuse to say lost or loose as to me it...

are you kidding, I love having sex now... It hasn't been this good since I was in my 20's..( which by the way was the last time I was the size I am now)... and in fact it is better...
1. I know more...

thinking Rena is a very lucky lady... and since I actually know you.... I know she is, (and so are u... lucky that is not a lady..LOL... )

hmmmm sounds like a situation to me... a nice one well for some of us...

I have two tats already and want to get another one...the next one I get will be a Phoenix... rising up out of the ashes...just not sure where to get it that will not be ruined when I get the...

My kids swear the song "tequila makes her clothes fall off" was written for me..LOL.... so I limit my intake... have never been a big drinker to begin with but when I do, its tequila...

I don't know if it lasts longer or not but I know it doesn't wear off any sooner... I am just grateful that I was over 40 before I discovered tequila... since I REALLY like it... at least I am mature...

love tequila..when I drink it is the only thing I do drink... waited about 6 months before I had any though... I have become a very cheap date... a couple of margaritas and a couple of shots and I...

I'm with becca on this, you don't happen to have a twin do you N2DVH_Hubby?

will you marry me!!

Does not matter... been with both. As long as the person is clean... it's all good

I'll never be able to eat _____ again. With the sleeve you don't have the dumping and once you can eat solid foods you can pretty much have what ever you want... that being said, If you are having...

I agree with Latonyia, when it comes to dating and sex that really isn't going to be an issue.. if a woman is into you enough to want to have sex with you, she isn't going to care about a little...
