    WNC AV8R got a reaction from Charlie75 in Below 200!!!   
    So I haven't seen the sub-200 zone in quite a long time (maybe 15 years) and I wanted to say thank you for all the support this forum has offered. Down to 198 and feeling fine. Still some trouble with solid food, particularly meat or dense Proteins. Still some issues with gout. But in general I feel great and have no regrets. I'm still out of work, but unfortunately I don't have any control over that process (all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted...just waiting and waiting and waiting).
    The only advice I can offer to anyone; hang in there. If I can do it, you can too.

    WNC AV8R got a reaction from Ed_NW in Below 200!!!   
    I was finally able to get past on VERY long gout attack, but it took IV fluids and a lot of Allopurinol. To keep them at bay I take the capsule form of Tart Cherry every day and Allopurinol tablets. The team did finally allow me to take Colchicine, but only for a short time and with a PPI. As usual, Tylenol is largely ineffective at controlling gout pain. Bottom line for me anyway, fluids - fluids - fluids. Prevention is the best medicine.
    You're absolutely right though, the gout will definitely dampen the exercise routine, which is a shame because I (finally) feel good enough to actually work out.
    Thanks for the encouragement. Congratulations on your progress. Looks like you're doing very well.

    That's GREAT! I thought I'd make Onederland this week, but maybe next week. I'm SO CLOSE! Yeah, I can't do steak, soft tortillas, and some other foods still at 3.5 months post-op.

    WNC AV8R got a reaction from CyndieRI in Coworker Flat Out Asked If I Had WLS   
    99% of the people I work with are men so questions about weight loss are rare, but when I do get the question I say, "Not that it's ANY of your business, but I had to have intestinal surgery to correct a serious medical issue. I'm better now." If they press for more information, I literally tell them that I'm not discussing it with them since it's a private medical issue and go about my day.

    Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc about 7 weeks post-op. Did fine, but definitely felt it. Drank mostly brown liquor pre-op, but I haven't felt the need to try that again...yet 😉

    I made it to Onederland!!! One wk short of 6 months. 199.6 today. I still have a way to go, but its such a relief to be back in the 100s at 42 for the first time since the age of 19! Yes, I need to update my stats but I can't from my phone or tablet and am never on a PC.
