I'm at goal with loose skin and all and we have a great time in the life. Honestly, I don't like to shed the shirt (usually keep a compression shirt on) and literally have no butt (like rocks in a balloon!) but most people don't judge and we've had a blast since the lbs started dropping. Much more attention! We're on SLS mainly... best site out there.

... to think I ran across this looking for weed related posts for some reason. I'm really in the expresslane to hell!!

I get a do-over tomorrow night (another reggae show) but I think I'll be skipping any form of altered state and sticking to my usual Water (just in case). I'd like to remember everything this go-round. Lol. Haven't touched anything since.

Went to a reggae show last night [full disclosure : did have an edible] and neglected the hydration. Didn't realize I was only at about 15ozs for the day til it was too late. Was feelin alright (irie, if you will) and next thing you know... I'm lookin at feet. Fainted at the front of the crowd of 2000 people luckily with my wife guiding me to the floor. She got me up and we started heading for the outside... to the floor again. 4 times total I woke up looking up to concerned faces. This hasn't happened to me before although I do get dizzy daily when going from a squatting to standing position (as part of my job). I've had to stop and lean to clear out the webs, but never was it out of my control like last night.

Has anyone else had this from MJ edibles? Or do you think it was solely the dehydration?? It was my 2nd edible since VSG. I no longer drink so this was my last hope for an occasional chill time.

(well, almost)

Today I hit 179.6 in the scale... that's .4lbs from normal BMI for 5'11" (and I'm really a smidge over 5'11" so I'm giving myself the .4) Was told it would probably take 1-1.5 years from surgery to get there, but it's only been just under 8 months. Checked with my Nut to make sure I wasn't overdoing it and she wasn't worried and said I was doing great. Started this journey about a year ago at just over 285... couldn't be happier!

(that arm candy next to me is my ultra supportive, beautiful wife of 19 years who has also reaped the benefits from the nutritional education and new habits)

YES!! Thanks. Just picked up some Starkist. Also some stuff to make turkey salads. My VSG date was 7/11(almost 5 weeks) and I'm on solids (no red meat/pork yet) and I'm doing great but I've had the luxury of a microwave and fridge at home. Tomorrow I'm back to the grind (although I'll probably spend the day in retraining at my garage). Got a nice big 36oz RTIC bottle and a case or Propel to keep me liquefied.

Going through this now. Surgery was Tuesday, 1st night home was last night. Had to sleep on my back and now my back is SORE! I'm a side sleeper as well. Gonna try wedging myself at an angle tonight on the sofa.

Rollercoasters.
I took my kids (loose term, 15 & 16.5 both 6'1") to Universal last year and had to have the ride attendants squeeze, cram, and stuff me into a few rides. I fit (so I sit) but it was very uncomfortable and there were a few that I just couldn't ride.
I've always been a 'larger' guy but that definition has been stretching over the years. There are MANY things I want to be able to do, but those rollercoasters sealed the deal.
I wrote out a list of things I want to do when I made this decision. Things like ride rollercoasters, fit in the band's t-shirts when we go to concerts, wear pants from the 'regular' section, not hide in photos, get off CPAP, be able to hike a trail without knee pain, get out and enjoy life, and live a little longer for my wife and boys.
I just started this journey and have my surgeon meeting March 15th. I am nervous as hell but I can not wait to get started!

I got alot of that as well. The radiologist at the barium swallow, both of my pre-op nurses right before surgery "really? You're getting a sleeve?"

For me, it was as much preventative as anything else, I could see the path I was on didn't end well.
