This was the picture.

I had to travel for work this week. I had several questions about why I was eating and drinking the way that I was. I was semi open. I showed them a picture of me from last September in Hawaii and explained that I've changed my eating habits and lost over 50 pounds. I explained that I had a stomach surgery where I had an ulcer removed (true) and I was surprised at how little food I really needed (also true) so I've continued to eat that way. I was eating smoked brisket from a rib joint, egg and bacon, ham, meatloaf, meatballs at an Italian food joint, toppings off of a single slice of pizza, etc. As for the drinking I explained that I stop 1/2 an hour before and drink 1/2 an hour after because I eat so little that if I drink then I'm hungry again shortly after eating or I feel bloated. Nobody questioned wls.

How is she going to feel when you lose 3 pounds one week and she "only" loses 1? Will you not be doing this "together" at that point? It sounds like the relationship has bigger issues than wls...

Glad that you are home! Relax and enjoy the new... you!

For the first time in my life I'm dealing with hemorrhoids. This sucks. Oww damn it!

Somehow it seems soooooo wrong to have Dickinson's up my butt!

100% propel for me. I love the Mandarin orange and black cherry flavors.

My sweetie just picked up some miralax and witch hazel wipes for me. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to her coming home!

So they can get you seated in the waiting room! Honestly I don't have a clue. Most likely because they found something else that they can bill your insurance for.

I had a wonderful experience in Mexico as well but I researched the crap out of everything!

I can see the concern of some of the members here in regards to people giving seriously bad advice. Like has been said, we all make our own choices. Some choices got us to where we are and other choices now have us going a complete different direction. Most of us don't want to see a member make a bad choice either for their weight loss or for the potential of bodily harm. Being on liquids is a tough time. Once you get past that stage things get easier. A simple example of a choice, today there was no way to make it back to my office for lunch and I was stuck in a small town with limited restaurant options. I chose a Mexican food joint and ordered a chili Colorado burrito without rice, sour cream or the tortilla. They looked at me odd especially when I said that I didn't want chips, salsa or a beverage. I gladly paid full price and tipped them well for making exactly what I wanted. Without the temptations even being on the table. It is all about choices.

262!

I had an excellent experience in Mexico. I went through Trinity Medical. I see that you are in Oregon as well. If you are in Southern Oregon I can hook you up with 4 of us that have all gone there. One is an owner operator of a log truck, one is a respiratory therapist, one works in a hospital and the last is myself. I work for a national home oxygen and respiratory company. I manage the drivers and run the warehouse as well as duties in the field.

My only frustration is that I can't drink plain water. I immediately feel bloated in my stomach and it truly kicks my butt. I drink Propel instead.

I had an excellent surgery in Mexico. I went through Trinity Medical and they treated us like family. My wife was treated to lobster and a massage. They also got her whatever food she wanted while I was at the hospital. Zero complications and zero complaints.

My goals are 33-34 pants and a large shirt. Crazy enough I'm already in 34 pants and a 2xl shirt! I was in 38 pants and 4xl shirts. No goal weight in mind.

Friends help you move, real friends help you move bodies. What kinda friends are you looking for?

I sold my truck to pay for this... Seriously, sell everything that isn't nailed down. I paid for mine completely out of my pocket and it is worth every single penny.

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.

If you kids keep giving carp to tess she might just tuna round and check all of y'all!

I was 14 days for soft foods. On day 15 it was my wife's birthday and I took here for a nice meal. I had ahi tuna with wasabi and soy sauce.

Wow. Perhaps your boss asked someone to send you something nice and that someone was unaware of what you were going to do?

We had to wash the sheets after fun in a hotel with baby oil and a tarp. Ya ever try to grab a crisco covered watermelon out of a lake? It was like that but a lot more fun!You, my friend, are hilarious! But, why wash she sheets? I'd call and ask for more. We actually get two beds...one for sex and the other for sleep. And just tip housekeeping well.... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App On our honeymoon we stayed at the Princess Lodge outside of Denali National Park. The rooms were a glorified motel 6. Our room had two beds and we screwed in one and slept in the other. We then carefully made the bed that we screwed in and left a note that would only be found if the sheets were pulled back. The note said "If you find this note then call the maid because we screwed in this bed!" of course we signed it "The honeymooners".

Is that where that idea comes from? Hmmm where could one find a waterbed...
