always nice to see some webmasterpics

Hey man, I feel fine. Teetering between 260 and 265 down from 325 total.

i remeber that dinner , the onion rings on that polee heheh man time flies by feels just ike yesterday man

It was a fantastic dinner...I don't know how much you spent for it all...but I know it wasn't cheap.

surgery is the lazy way out.

Juicy looks so young ...


and gay :2 cents:

especially adult webmasters :winkwink:

don't be mean Fris.. c'mon man.. that's not you

You would be amazed at how hard I have to actually work at this.
I have never been 100% restricted since the surgery.

In fact when you come out of surgery there is no restriction, in roughly a week you can eat as much as you want but it goes against the first 4 weeks diet.

My first 4 weeks, all I could have was liquids...then 2 weeks of soft foods with the consistency of baby foods...I did not have my first fill until week 5 1/2. But even then I was still not 100% restricted.

One reason I lost so much weight in the beginning was because I personally exercised will power and avoided succumbing to temptations. And believe me I was starving.

I know of people who actually gained weight after surgery because you can have as much liquids as you want...and they just ate, and ate gallons of soup. Some even broke down and ate pizza etc.

Even right now at this very moment, out of a 10cc band, I have only had a 2cc fill, and am due for another. So I'm still not 100% restricted, and am still hungry rather quickly after meals.

But I continue to make the right choices, I have had in the two months since surgery something with processed sugar in it once, which was a cupcake on my nieces birthday.

If I do "cheat." I now cheat by eating some white meat from some chicken, and believe me the piece I cheat with is of no consequence.

I exercise daily. I swim in our pool and in the beginning could only do 3 laps, and I am now up to 14+ and usually after that I'm still not even that tired.

So yeah...it's the lazy way out.

Next.

No worries man...I've been through much tougher than GFY...LOL

It is amazing at how people try to bring you down no matter what.
I remember back in highschool when I lost something like 55 pounds and was roughly 5-10 pounds overweight...a kid that knew how fat I had been originally walks up to me and says..."get out of my way fat ass."

So, I learned then. People will always see you how they want to see you regardless of what you achieve.

I did not have the surgery to make Fris happy, GFY happy, or even some chick I'm thinking about happy. I had it because I knew that I would probably not live past 45 if something drastic didn't change in my life. Even if I lived past 45, my quality of life would probably make me wish I were dead.

i know several people who if you eat too much per meal with the surgery you will be sick.

It depends upon the surgery...and how restricted you are with the lapband.

I did not have the gastric bypass. I have friends who had that, and yes if they eat too much they get sick. They couldn't even eat chicken for well over 6 months after the surgery...however I could eat chicken as soon as I was able to eat solid foods.

You can also stretch your pouch in both cases. There are many poker pros who have had the bypass surgery here in Vegas. Chip Reese, Doyle Brunson, Howard Lederer, and in fact if you look at Howard you will see that he's gaining his weight back.

There was another pro, you won't know him. Not a tv pro, but anyway he had the bypass surgery and within weeks was pounding down shakes and hot dogs all day long. Went back in for a revision after stretching his pouch out and gaining the weight back, within weeks he was doing it again.

Now with the lapband which is what I have, you have to go in for fills until they get to an optimal restrictive point. Not saying I can eat anywhere near as much as I used to, that's for sure. But you still have to make the right choices of what to eat.

If I wanted to, I could eat ice cream all day long, but I choose not to. I could eat candy 1-2 hours after a meal because I am no longer full, but I choose not to. I am slowly conditioning myself to realizing that I get 3 meals a day, and out of that only 4 oz per meal, and I'm not going to waste that on crap.

My diet consists mainly of chicken *preferably white meat*, salad, yogurt, a lot of liquids, eggs, tuna, and a mixture of other vegetables.

The point is that through all the doctor's appointments I had to go through before this, and that included a psychiatric work up, you are reminded time and time again that this is not a "cure." It is a "tool." And you have to treat it as such.

That's what I'm trying to do. I am like a drug addict when it comes to food. And I know that the surgery did not cure my addiction, or why I treated it like an addiction. But it gives me time, whether that's 1 year or 2, to work on those problems.

:mad::mad: I am str8

:warning:warning:warning tippy toes don't count :warning:warning:warning

Looks like its been eaten.

Congrats Eros, and keep on fighting the temptations and deploring great will power!

Holy Insecurity Batman...

Hit me up on ICQ dude, maybe I can help you.

LOL I've made two threads with pics of me twice in I don't know how long...one to show my weight loss, and this...and I'm insecure?

While others post shit of themselves constantly...ROFL.

I won't name any names, but you know what they say about pointing finger right?

Damn Dude, is that your best shot.

As I said before, your momma probably still has your balls in the bottom her purse, althought they are probably dry, it might not be to late for you to become a man. Like I said, hit me up on ICQ and I'll help out :pimp

I promise I won't SNUB you.

Happy Canadia day y'all
