I used bacon to increase my calories. I've been having a hard time getting enough so a strong showing of bacon for breakfast bumped those calories and gave me more energy.

@@DubI respect your wisdom but I have to question you on this one Dub. School me please.

@@BabbsGotcha! I'm under 40. Not by much but still under!

Holy cow am I excited! I didn't intend to buy a pair of pants today but I just wanted to try on a couple to see where I was at. I went into a local Farm and Ranch store and spoke to the gal there. I showed her what I was dealing with I'm told her what size I was and that I was tired of looking like I was wearing a diaper on my ass everywhere that I went. She suggested based upon my current size that I go to 35x30. This lady is absolutely insane was my freaking thought! Imagine my surprise when they were actually too loose! I needed a 34x30! Several weeks ago I got out of my van at a customer's place and my shorts fell off my butt. I really didn't think that I was quite this far along. I will officially be 6 weeks out tomorrow and I've lost 7 pounds since Monday! I'm down 47 pounds since starting my pre op diet on 8/29. I'm officially the lowest weight that I've been in mt ENTIRE adult life at 265 pounds! It was such an adrenaline rush that I actually bought the dang pants even though I wasn't intending to. Last weekend with my diaper ass Levis. Today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(perhaps to many exclamation points? Heck no!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Normally I haven't had issues with my knees on the exercise bike. This was just my stubborn butt getting frustrated with the technologically "advanced" piece of equipment that I hate. I'd much rather ride an actual bike but cold and dark doesn't seem like fun.

Definitely a long way to go for that!

Yep. Every time I got into trouble my dad would say that he should've pulled out faster. I would then remind him that I was obviously faster than him.

Wait until you get to use it! I'm down 67 pounds and up 2.5 inches. My wife and I are both quite happy!

I agree with the comment about the pull out method becoming parents. My mom was allergic to latex. Dad apPARENTly pulled out but I was the fastest swimmer!

Funny thing. Last Sunday I was at Goodwill and I bought 32x30 Wrangler slim fit jeans because well, they fit!

LMAO!

When you get old you repeat yourself. Did you know that when you get old you tend to repeat yourself? Umm... I don't recall what you were talking about but did you know that as we age we repeat ourselves? Can you repeat what you were saying? Squirrel moment!

Very cool blog! The picture of you with your family in that dress speaks volumes.

I cant wait to have eggs with hot sauce. Yummmm. Im over this liquid phase. Sent from my LGMS330 using the BariatricPal App I asked my surgeon if hot sauce was ok for my eggs and he said that I should take it easy to see my tolerance. My first eggs has havarti cheese and green enchilada sauce. Awesome! The gunslinger has been in use a little over a month now. Just the right amount of kick for me.

I use Arizona Gunslinger Habanero sauce in my eggs and taco meat. Habaneros are always in the freezer just in case if I run out of fresh ones.

Is it sad that I'm a guy and I know that the Regina George comment is from the movie Mean Girls?

I've lost over 30 inches from my chest, stomach, biceps, thighs and calfs. I'm down to 246 pounds for a total loss of 66 pounds. I went to Goodwill today and bought a 17.5 shirt, a XL sweater and a pair of 32x30 Wrangler slim fit jeans! I can clearly recall being in southern California and looking for 33 pants. I would have been 9 or just turned 10 as we moved to Oregon a month after I turned 10. Sad but true... This fat man can kiss my saggy ass !

Day 2 I was on my stomach.

Yeppers! Happy as if I was a 5 year old with Legos.

That isn't being graphic. Being graphic is describing the taste coming up, the feeling as it shot from your body, the smell of the vomit, comparison of the color to that of 70's shag carpet, explaining the size of the chunks, giving us the distance of the projection and finally how hard it was to clean it up after it hit your cat but your dog helped with some of the clean up by eating most of it.No sir, your standards are too low. You're going to have to try harder next time.

It took 10.weeks and 60 pounds before anyone who doesn't know about the surgery said anything.

I like the few things that I found but 2xl and xl are almost nonexistent in my local Goodwill unless I'm looking for something to paint houses in...

So true! Self confidence is extremely hot!

I asked for permission from my surgeon, I didn't "cheat". The puree was driving me nuts! I asked if I could just chew the supreme crap out of food instead. He agreed as long as I was eating approved foods.

Trying not to be too much TMI here but I had the fun of hemorrhoids about a month ago. Things are moving well by adding some fiber to my diet but I feel like there is some serious structural rigidity to my stool. Also toilet paper usage has gone way down...
