Finally a WLS mens forum!

Hey Guys,

I was starting to think all the WLS forums out there were dominated by women.  I was sick to death of  reading all that cutsey cutsey girl type talk,  thankfully I found this place! 
(don't flame me ladies, luv ya!)

OK, my short stroy- Had RNY (I think proximal) on Tuesday 11/17/09)

All is going as well as I could hope.  The first day home Friday 11/20/09 was hell , lots of gas pains.   Never thought I'd be so happy to fart in my life.

Thats about it for now.  Gona read some post and see whats up here.

Best to all!

Cheers,
BigG

PS- any forum where someone's sig includes "Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!  You may find yourself experiencing a "laundry emergency"" is my type of forum.  WTG LOSTTXN !

Welcome.  If you need any info.. there are plenty of guys here willing to help. Don't be a stranger.

Welcome aboard and good luck!

Thanks Big G!

It is a word to the wise that was passed to me and yes I have had a "laundry emergency" once or twice myself! 

Welcome to the loser's bench. You'll find that this is a good bunch of guys with lots of help when you need it. Even a kick in the ass when we need it also.

Welcome!

Lots of great guys here.  Always willing to help a fellow brother go down this road.   Congrats on taking this first step.   We're here for ya'.

Welcome aboard!!!! You've come to the right place.

Hey  Guys,

Thanks much for the warm welcome!

I'm feeling much better every day, but plan to take it ALL very slow.

There are some advantages to this, got a kick out of watching the wife do the end of season  lawn cleanup work this weekend. timing is everything.  LOL

It's gonna suck not having Thanksgiving dinner but it's worth it!

Cheers,

G

Hi,  I hope you can help me... my husband had RNY 16 days ago.  The first week he lost 30 pounds, but this week the scale hasn't dropped an ounce.  I mean, not one ounce!  Is this common?!  He is following the "program" very closely - Drinking the water, taking the vitamins, eating all the right foods in the right quantities.  He is upset beyond words, and is now thinking that he has made the biggest mistake of his life.   I am trying to console him, but I don't know what to say.  He just went out for his morning walk so I thought I would take this opportunity to write a quite note and try to find some information/support.   I'm sorry for butting into a men's site, but he definitely does NOT want to hear from a woman.   I didn't know where else to go and it is so upsetting to see and hear him getting so distraught.  ... thanks for also letting me know that we aren't alone in the 'laundry crisis" department"!
