    Why do we candy coat everything?

    I guess as we raise a generation that didn't allow winners and losers in gym class, or their homework to be graded in red ink.we will have more and more adults who are prone to massage ugly reality with b.s. terms and concepts into more tolerable events ,albeit fantasy ! Now don't get me going with our new currency minus the "in god we trust"

    Isopure powder 3.5 lbs $50.00 directions say 2 scoops for 50 gram shake. I use one or two scoops a day depending on how much protein I have eaten.I try to stay at 100 grams min. Sometimes wifey will comment on the $$ cost of my new lifestyle,I say what we save in pizza and Chinese take out puts us at break even , dr copays for the heart attack I was eating towards is pure profit!!!

    Can I Slap You Now?

    When I go to the gym I always get dressed in the dry sauna , tie sneakers , and stretch. This guy said why do you need to sweat your so skinny? I explained my need to warm up I ain't no ninja. Then gave due credit to my surgeon and sleeve he in turn related he consulted with My surgeon 10 years ago and was talked out of rny bypass by family. I educated him about this "new " procedure and my so far success . He is 55 and has been 375 - 425 as long as he remembers and is "calling him back this week" I will take 100 bad reactions if I can help one person by sharing my experience it's how I say thank you to god for this gift I have been given. As far as trainers negativity " let your haters be your motivators" !!!

    Why am i craving sex

    Go for it !!! Take pics and keep us posted! Woohoo!
  11. First of all THANK YOU for your service !! too often the person who wears the uniform is lauded and we here who keep the home fires burning are forgotten . Remember H. A. L. T. hungry angry lonlely tired is when we usually fall into old negative thought patterns, you expressed 3 out of 4 in your post ( hopefully hungry won't be an issue for a while) . This can be an emotionally tumultuous time in your journey to better health ,dealing with life without out our old best friend,food. After 8 years away from meds I found myself back to 40 mg Prozac per day 6 months post op, you are not alone. Remember we don't just get better with depression we battle it! Call your dr ,make a plan and act on it. Hope you feel better soon !!!

    carbonation?

    There is lots of debate here about why ,but it seems the overwhelming majority have been advised to abstain from bubbly drinks.
  15. Dude are you still on high doses of narcotics? Babble babble wives to keep us..... Babble blah blah. Just kidding ! listen to the girls they are right (as usual) measure for a while it helps in the long run to make changes now! I am 13 months out and wifey laughs when she sees me counting out my 7 reduced fat triscuits.
  16. Alsacol is the timed release form of mesaline it does need to be swallowed whole. however, I do believe it comes as a suppository a little more tidy than an enema. How far out are you? if I remember correctly my surgeon cleared whole pills at my 2 week post op. This is not medical advise but ... Knowing that the company who brought this to market nor the doctors who prescribe can explain to you why this medicine works. Ask your doc I promise he can't ,no one knows . So I think we get a little wiggle room here to modify our treatment to suit our unique anatomy , the " time release " component of that med is the coating perhaps pricking it a few times would accelerate it's dissolution enough to get it to the colon without the stomach or intestine interfering . Just a thought again Not medical advice. I'm a car mechanic! Hope you feel better soon!
