That's how it should be. Nice to know that there are couples who get it right.

Best damn post I've read in a long while. Go forth and rock your sleeve. Own it.....command it. Reap the rewards.

My sleeve surgery was a freaking cakewalk. Not thing to it. I'd do it again tomorrow without a second thought.

If you want to have harmless fun do what I would do while camping. Grab a random food container and have fun with the questions and comments phone number on the back. In the spirit of this thread and the above comment I will share 2 of my favorites. I called Gatorade and said that I'd been camping for 2 weeks and hadn't bought enough Water so I'd been drinking fruit punch Gatorade for the last week and I had a concern. I was due home to my wife the next day and I knew that she would be worried about the fact that I'd been pooping red for the last couple of days. When the guy from Gatorade reassured me that it was most likely from the dyes in the Gatorade I said "boy am I glad to hear that it isn't from all of the butt sex that I've been having " I then asked if the dye is why I was having a hard time sitting comfortably. He kept stammering on the other end of the phone and finally hung up. The other was calling Skippy Peanut Butter and telling them that I have a nut allergy and I was concerned because I got some peanut butter on me and I was quite swollen. They went through an entire checklist before asking me where I was swollen and I told them that I used it as lube for butt sex and that my buddy hadn't gone down for 7 hours. Silence then muffled laughing on the other end with the lady saying that she couldn't help me. I then tried to pick up on her claiming that I had obvious abilities to keep going all night. She laughed and hung up. Guys.......you have me laughing my large arse off at the moment. Good stuff. Thank you.

All the answers ? Only this guy ^^^^^^^^^^^ has all the answers. He and he alone holds the secret recipe........

Cool......I'd wondered how you came by that screen name. It had potential for disaster.....yet it stayed on the up and up. A transference of knowledge, advice and real world rompus room fun.

My last meal was a Protein shake. Fear not.....your are getting sleeved. There is nothing that you can't truly enjoy later on. Be safe and engage in things that will help you prepare for surgery and then heal up and enjoy the losing. food will always be there later on....enjoy the losing....reach your goals.....then you will be able to enjoy food with zero guilt. It is a great feeling.

Sorry. Had to laugh at how you came in with a serious question about how things could impact yer fun time with yer spouse and somebody comes in and schools you on sexual hygiene. Pretty sure you've already developed solid "penis wash" practices.

I just came when I saw those serious DSL's on that carp. A fish with potential........

Such the educator. Thank your for this pro-tip.

Yup.....started hitting the ECU Halloween block parties when I was a senior in high school and into my mid-20's. Great fun was had. They really did it up right back in those days. Not sure how it is now. My usual go-to costume was something stupidly easy.....some eye-black on one eye and spray paint a large "P" on a t-shirt. A black eyed pea was had. Stupid, I know. But quick and easy. Damnrite !!!!

6+ weeks without a BM ???? Is you crazy.......................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I asked my surgeon about Celebrex post op.....he urged me to stick with Advil (taken with meals). I said I was getting limited benefit at times......again....he urged me to stick with Advil. I've not done much research on Celebrex....just know a few guys who've sworn by the relief they get. A couple years ago I asked my pcp about it....he also steered me away from it.

I generally begin with this as my starter and then add whatever appeals to me at the time.....onions, jalapeños, occasionally a habanero, occasionally use Beans, etc, etc. http://www.carrollshelbyschili.com/site.php Great product.

Cut out carbs Track calorie intake Increase calorie burn through exercise Track progress on scale Proper rest & recovery

Outstanding !!! Likely you'll have a bit of inflammation and fluids retained for the surgery. You'll flush it all out over the next few days as you are able to sip on your Water. Glad it all went well for you.

Wow......11 months out and it's likely I've never gotten 120 grams in for more thatn a day or two in a row. I guess I'd be using shakes if my goal was that high.

I avoided cooking.....or the kitchen in general for the weeks leading up to my surgery and the two months afterwards. I have a teenage son that wasn't having that. He let me know in very well defined terms that is was well past time that I get my arse back in the kitchen and fire up the grill outside, too. I listened to him.....next morning my two month post-op arse was walking around the supermarket...pushing a cart and constantly pulling up on my falling gym pants. I loaded down the cart with various cuts and went home and started cooking every day for the next several days.....until he said he was good for a while....and could we order out for pizza, lol. What I found was that I could continue to enjoy cooking stuff.....and preparing it....just like I always did.....hell, I could even taste test it for a bite or two and never really sit down for another meal. Thusly, I am finding more and more that I actually enjoy food so much more now.....12 months out.....than ever before. I get to make stuff that others enjoy and enjoy the flavors myself.....but not be guilty over it. I generally leave off the carbohydrates from my meals....except for raw greens and some cooked vegetables......but I fully enjoy the steaks, ribs, chicken, fish, shrimp and etc. I am so grateful that my son snapped me out the kitchen-avoidance phase. It is very gratifying seeing others happily share and partake in something you enjoy. Figuring out that food isn't evil....it's actually something that can a big part of family life....heritage, culture, memories.....it's something that you now have better control of...to put into perspective. All things can be enjoyed....moderation and self restraint are now muscles you can flex at will. Go have fun !!!!!

Mighty impressive. A year......12 months.......you have carved yourself out. What a successful change in your health.

6 weeks ????? Some instructions were made to be broken.

When do the pounds start coming off ? Hopefully in your pre-op days. Roll into the surgery with good loss momentum.

There are many types of pickles that have almost zero calories yet tremendous flavor.

coffee...............it's whats for Breakfast.....each and every day since the 8 week point. I would not take kindly to any fool who tries to take my morning coffee away.

Yup.......big hard to find shoes !!!! Damn.

Try finding 14W.........shyt ain't happening. Thankfully there is FedEx.
