  1. Unfortunately I wasn't able to do Halloween with my son. We have a specialized vehicle that I have to have 4 days per week and the tranny died in it so I had to borrow one from another location. I was barely home in time to see him off to bed.
  2. When I finally got out of my saggy butt jeans it was a huge confidence booster!
  3. This is my sweet Chloe girl! Camping On a doggie date. My chocolate lover. Clean living! Family photos?
  4. $4400 in Mexico and I researched the crap out of the surgeon and the company. There is a lower complication rate there than there is in the states. There is no way that I would consider going to anyone who has a complication rate as bad as most of the doctors here in the states.
  5. Sausage kicked my ass when I tried it! Definitely take it easy when you do and as suggested try one item at a time.
  6. Funny because I just had this very conversation with my surgeon this week. He has seen people gain in the first 6 weeks after surgery and then ask him "why isnt this working for me". People are like this in all aspects of humanity, not just WLS. I have patients that I counsel about smoking because they have COPD. They tell me "i cant breath" "i cant afford my meds" but spend 50$ a week on cigarettes. They expect me to fix their problem while taking no responsibility for their actions. We have a choice...it may not be an easy choice but its still a choice. We have an opportunity to change after WLS and we should seize it to make better choices. Not ruin it by continuing with the same bad behavior. Gee, you sound like an RT in home health care...
  7. My dinner last night was an egg with mushroom and sausage. I had the same thing for breakfast. Lunch was 1/2 of a large chili from Wendy's. I usually have Greek yogurt for breakfast. A favorite lunch is shrimp with old bay and lemon juice topped with a slice of havarti cheese and 2 slices of tomato then it goes in the microwave. Essentially a shrimp melt without the bread. Bacon is awesome! Bacon with tomato and lettuce... I did shrimp with bell peppers, onion, garlic and a light orange sauce a few nights ago.
  8. As usual we will have 12-20 people. I will smoke a turkey the day before and that always goes to my dad. The day of I will smoke another one and my sweetie will roast one. We will also do a ham that my brother in law bought when he was here in September. I plan to have one broccoli ball (broccoli, stuffing, parmesan cheese and an egg as a binder) a couple of "fork fulls" of my mom's recipe sausage rice and pretty much just have some turkey or ham. Either way we are doing 3 turkeys and enough food to feed a small army!
  9. I've used Greek yogurt in place of a lot of different things and it works out quite well. Try it with lemon juice as a salad dressing, add lime and cilantro to put on cheese squares, in place of mayo for deviled eggs, I could go on but the point is get creative, it is fun!
  10. The problem is that you called it a date in your first sentence. If it isn't then don't dress up or doll up in any way. No date, no worries.
  11. Try reverse cowgirl. It is awesome for both parties!
  12. @ She is doing much better. She has lost some of the peripheral vision in her left eye. Most likely it is permanent. She can drive again. Fortunately she is right eye dominant but she shoots with both eyes open and it has really messed with her shooting. She is quite upset about that.
  13. Thanks @@Sai! I just ordered my first pair of footed PJs since I was a little kid, butt flap and all! Those are cute as can be on a woman. Not so much on a man...
  14. Yes I'm a dude. Sorry. My wife has hormone issues and there are times where we have to use lube and times that we don't. You should check with your doctor though because for my sweetie she actually had a pituitary gland issue due to a brain tumor.
  15. I did have my wife exclaim, it is bigger!
  16. You are way too eager!
  17. I do agree that Obamacare didn't create this mess. Insurance companies and corporate greed did. This is why we go to Mexico for surgery and why I can have a biopsy done on my dog for $250 and on my wife the cost is $15000 for essentially the same surgery. In my case it is a company that is out of touch with its indians. The Chiefs haven't been here in this company and they don't understand. I've been involved in multiple projects at the corporate HQ and they are extremely out of touch.
  18. You will find a partner and enjoy amazing sex... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App That should be on a fortune cookie!
  19. The politically correct part of this is explaining the situation without losing my job.
  20. It continues. This is from the head of HR. This is my response.
