What Are Your New Year’s Resolutions?
To pay off medical bills from 2016 so we can get back to camping, fishing and working on our vehicle projects.

Differences in Plans
It all comes down to the doctor and what they are comfortable with. They may feel that a long time of liquids after surgery is safer or they may just be a crappy surgeon that has had problems with leaks in the short run and they attribute that to what the patient ate. Who knows? Does that mean that a surgeon who is fine with soft foods a week out is better? Who knows?

Best decision of my life
Now I have to go clean the drool off of my phone... You look amazing!

The surgery fixes the BODY but, not the MIND
You can neuter a dog that doesn't stop them from wanting to hump your leg.

Motivation to change
Isn't the reason to have kids is so that we can torture and embarrass them? Keep it up and congratulations!

Question about activity after sleeve...
I suggest you quit the vitamins for a bit and get a blood test looking for deficiency. I was sleeved in August as well and my blood tests are normal without any "extras".

3 months post-op before/after
You look amazing! Congrats!

I'm down 130 lbs!
Wow, what a change!

What's for dinner?
I'm also doing chili right now. Perfect for cold weather and easy to eat. It also gives fiber to keep me a "good ol regular" guy. We do pork butt quite a bit but we do it in the smoker. Good stuff!

Failing at Friendship
There is a big difference between acquaintances and friends. I don't have many that I would truly call friends but I've met a ton of people. Don't worry about friends, go meet people!

How many times do I have to go
Once. I went to Mexico! So much easier than dealing with all of the doctor issues and insurance issues. The real bonus? I got to choose my surgeon instead of my "network" choosing.

What's everyone doing for NYE
Working... I will however be wrapping my Christmas tree with my old clothes that I can't donate and torching it in the front yard while I dance around it like a lunatic.

I'm struggling with muscle loss.
I am not. I'm not on any medications.

This does not seem like normal loss!
Why don't you post up what you have been eating for the last week. Maybe we can spot some ways to help you.

All things cheese
I cut up a 2 pound brick of Tillamook pepper crack into 32 pieces. It's easy, half it, half those pieces then quarter them, take everything and cut them in half. Now you have 32 1oz pieces. I add these to all kinds of things, chili, meatloaf, chicken and of course I often eat it on its own. I also love gouda and havarti. For some reason I have a hard time with cheddar.

Worried about loose skin and other appearance issues?

I'm struggling with muscle loss.
@@LittleBill This is a corporate job as well and I love what I do but for the responsibility, the on call and the fact that my guys have to have a commercial driver's license with Hazmat endorsement we don't pay enough. My company does a 3% raise every 13 months and with the wages being so low it feels like a slap in the face to see how little their raise is. There is a company that doesn't require and of that and they pay $2 more to start plus a guaranteed minimum bonus of $400 a month. They also only work 4 days a week. I can't compete with that.

Sex
Another idea that works is to mix sugar-free Hershey syrup and PB2. Apply to your partner and treat it like an ice cream topping. Don't gobble it, lick it and enjoy!

A new year of weight loss advertisement
I have one of those "plastic Rubbermaid" boards. I have to say that I definitely feel it after using it. Will it give ripped 6 pack abs? I doubt it. Does it give the lazy people who actually use it a fighting chance? I would say yes.

No Hairloss?
It's a solar powered sex machine! I will say that I was surprised to be losing hair... EVERYWHERE!!! Even in those special places. I am a little worried with people reporting that is has come back thicker. I have a "normal" amount of hair now and I don't want to look like a hedgehog later!

I'm struggling with muscle loss.
Yesterday was the two week stop that I was dreading. I've been sick since Monday and my 5 man crew is reduced to 2. There really isn't a way for me to not work. The good news is that I kicked ass! It was so much easier than the last time. I'm definitely going to keep up what I've been doing for the last couple of weeks. It is working well. Thanks again for all of the help!

Did You Get Holiday Food Gifts This Year?
My dad works for Harry and David. We ended up with $1500+ in fruit, candies, chocolate, baclava, cheesecake and more moose munch popcorn than I couldn't eat in a year if I started on Christmas day. I regifted a bunch, made my office quite happy and gave some to neighbors. We kept the gouda, some spicy mustard and the evil little chocolate covered cherries. There are about 25 of those cherries in the bag and I will say that at the rate that I'm going I might be done with them by my birthday in July.
