My dad would be against surgery as well. My mom died 8 months after gastric bypass. It wasn't known that she had lung cancer and her body couldn't fight the cancer and heal from surgery at the same time. The surgery didn't cause her to die but my dad is VERY much against it. I simply told my dad that I over produced ghrelin the hormone that causes hunger (true) and that I was having surgery to remove a stomach ulcer and reduce the ghrelin (also true). He is happy that I've been losing weight since the surgery.

Okay I think I'll just grab some Magnums.... I don't want to risk getting pregnant but I like to have a good time!!! He just gotta deal with it Magnums ??? Much respect. .357 or .44? Magnums?Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Something tells me that magnum sizes guys have this conversation...I know what you are thinking, did he fire blank shots or were they live?" Well to tell you the truth in all this excitement I kinda lost track when my eyes rolled to the back of my head and my knees buckled. But being this is a Magnum sized schlong, the most powerful penisgun in the world, you've gotta ask yourself one question: "Do I feel lucky?" Well, do ya, punk? LOL. Thank you "Dirty-mouth Harry". Dirty mouth not so much, dirty mind absolutely!

That's awesome!

Quite the changes. Your looking great!

That was an awesome movie! I think that we all have squirrel moments even though we may not want to admit it. On a side note, that was the first 3D movie that my wife and I watched. Also if your not having a moist eye in the first 10 minutes of the movie then it is time for a one way trip into the woods.

Keep it up! I'm in a stall myself. I didn't lose much in inches this week but I've lost over 30 inches total and I will be 12 weeks on Monday. The stall will break and the weight will go!

I would have gone stir crazy and been doing things that I definitely shouldn't have been doing. My garage and I would have been best friends and I would have stripping trucks, building engines and doing at least 2 engine swaps. As it is Monday will be 12 weeks and I have this week off. This will be my first real time spent in the garage. I plan to drag a wrecked truck home, get it running and start stripping it, build an engine, custom paint it to match the truck that it is going into, possibly paint the inner fenders, front suspension and core support. I have to resolder the gauge cluster in my dad's car. Diagnose a charging problem with a power chair and get it up for sale. Parent teacher conference. Refinance the house. Shop for thanksgiving. Spend all day Wednesday prepping and Thursday cooking. Sunday of next weekend will be going to the woods to get our Christmas tree. On top of all of that we will have a bunch of family here and have commitments there as well. As you can see I don't slow down for anything and it would be very difficult to have taken 4 weeks off and not hurt myself.

8 days. No issues.

Perspective is reality. Their perspective of themselves is their reality. I never got it either until I started really losing weight. For them going up at all is getting fat. For us we long to be where they are and that is our perspective based on our reality.

Okie dokie! It was the dirt that threw me!

I'm not trying to defend anyone in this thread but I do want to talk about my own experience with medicaid patients. I work in the health care field. I will say that based on my experience, that many, not all medicaid patients have a very entitled attitude. They are generally the ones that complain and get pissed off when they don't get their way. It can easily sour someone's perception of all medicaid patients when you work with this issue day after day. Mentally it can be quite taxing. I have to admit that when I deal with one of the entitled patients I think to myself "well, I guess my taxes are paying for this one". Somehow that makes it easier in my screwed up brain.

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!

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!

I've been skipping "leg day" because of my boney ass. I usually ride an exercise bike for my legs. I'm quite happy with my legs so I've been doing a lot of ab and arm exercises instead for the last few weeks. This way too fancy bike has all kinds of settings and after screwing with it I said to heck with it and just started pedaling. Was super easy until it wasn't. It just kept increasing resistance and stupid me, I just kept going. My knees really starting hurting but I was going to push through the pain. I finally stopped when I pulled a muscle on the back of my thigh. Stupid me! I slept like crap (or maybe carp) and limped most of the morning.

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.
