Going to do this to my kids this Friday - Going to get them all wound up about a deluxe barbecue meal

Nothing to hide! DANG FLORIDA IS OFFICIALLY ON LOCK DOWN! THIS IS GOING TO SUCK. OH DEAR!
Just emailed him and wanted him to sign my bill? Booty call visits are essential business! One thing about this thread is I have not been to my website since before the surgery I think, Better re-do it kinda boring.

I googled the name on his avatar slab-2-shingles and google showed lits of nice pictures of AJ.

Hi everyone, My name is Robyn I had lap band surgery over 10 years ago and have been gaining the last 4 or so. I'm trying to not get so mental about all that is going on in the world right now. My man and I are BOTH hoe ALL day together...yikes HELP PLEASE..HA We do have a gym set up down stairs . I feel Like I need to workout harder ...that's my mind speaking ..my body is like..ahhh NO!.. You all seem very positive and I NEED that right now... Thanks so much

I want to see, where are the pictures?

He could have a group in every state! Too funny!

We could ALL go work for him and the business called “AJ and His Formerly Fluffy Friends”😂!

One of my female friends is a doc here. She had a great Idea
Now under these conditions Slow down, Think before you act, Make sense take you time clean your area and slow down, Dont just re act like you have in the past since most of your work is second nature to you.
Now you have a problem ..... Do not push the alarm button every time someone walks in your bank with a mask!

I’ve been on LOA since my surgery date of 3/3/20. I’ve asked my surgeon to extend my absence as long as I can and I go back to work tomorrow morning.
I work at one of those megabanks where people like me - not in the upper echelon - don’t get to work from home.
I’m considered one of those essential workers that must report to work regardless.
I’m scared. From what I’ve heard moral is super low at my office due to those of us that are forced to go into work.
I live with my family and that includes my 74 year old mother who has diabetes, my brother and his wife and their kids—my niece and nephew—who are 6 and 4 respectively.
I work in metro Atlanta in the same county with the highest amount of cases in all of GA which is Fulton County.
my sister-in-law were in tears earlier today anticipating me going back into the office where I can bring this virus home to my mother - she is whom we all want to protect the most.
I’ve been with my this corporation since 2006. They’ve been really good to me and protected me and helped move me when I was fleeing my abuser from my past DV relationship.
My brother and his wife both have jobs that allow them to work from home. I don’t. I am also grateful that I have a career where I am still going to get a paycheck. So many others are hurting for money right now.
Im just scared and I wanted to say so. I’ll do everything I can to protect my family. But I’m about to go out into this mess. I wanted to say thank you to all those others in essential fields required to stay open and in operation during this pandemic. I’ve had it good for a few weeks. I wish everyone out there stays safe and healthy. May God watch over all of us and our families. ❤️

Re Doing my offices! And waiting to see if the Governor considers Botty calls a essential service!
Just ignore food and keep busy

Hi everyone, have you heard of the quarantine 15? Similar to the freshman 15 when we were in college. What are you doing to maintain your health during these unusual times?

Made shrimp tacos. Will be eating this all week minus the tortillas. This was the first time since surgery that I ate one whole tortilla and omg I’m ridiculously full!
Thinking of using romaine lettuce instead but I’m not sure if it’s going to taste weird because of the cabbage.... which will make it all crunchy 🤔
besides lettuce, does anyone have a good tortilla replacement?

Yum!! I love these!
Scroll down to Tortillas!

So to make along story short there is some sort of Virus out there and My company is totally shut down, making light of it but i have always lived by three principals.
1. Carpie Diem
2. Work Hard - Play Harder - Stay Ha#$
3. Do not do anything unethical, immortal, or illegal. Now the immoral thing i go by my rules!
4. You can always make more! Never let money drive your life!
So with all this bully poop virus things all my staff is at home, PANICKING! no clue why since i fur lowed them all to unemployment, and have told them this is my ship and we are going down together! They all have prepaid debit cards that will be filled with there payroll till this ends! So i have a gut feeling #4 is going to come and bite me in the rear end. But these are good people and they have been with me along time - Heck i have 31 kids on my payroll from there parents. No way i am running like a Bit#$ for the woods! We go down together.
But I drink and this is a issue especially with these times. So i had to focus on something else besides this place and talking about how you all are hungry, I weigh myself to much, and farting and gas issues.
For 11 years ago my x wife decorated the offices and picked the furniture - Never liked it to start so i am going ape poopy crazy! Just tossed everyone's desk except mine, Have painters in here painting and doing cool air brushing, ordered new furniture from the Amazon God and doing some way out wack stuff! Luck i have a great decorator named Miss Google images so duplicating it. Always hated the lighting so ripping every Freakin light out of here and going led cool white! Nice thing is most of the computers scanners and printers are at my staffs house. Hired my landscaper to rip out the sticks and **** grass and make it look fun and good. Even have a window guy coming to put new blinds up. Just to mess with them all i moved them around to new offices - Only i am in the same office. Added digital frames of there families pics, which i have from all the years of bday and parties. Plus my son is a software engineer and just raped social media.
so out with the old and in with the new! You can stay busy during this and be productive. FYI for those of you who know WInston my WLS mentor he is getting a custom built bed off a wall below the window. So find something to do that makes you feel satisfied. Not food
Just havin fun and you all stay safe and ride this out

I like to be on my own.. can't stand people lol

For all you who wonder if cooking for others gets easier, yes it does - Whipped out below yesterday for the kdis - Really never bothered me. In the past I would woof down a slab like it was nothing. Now one rib No sauce FYI i have designed the new Florida Tshirt Logo also for Disney!

Daily...before I pee...after I pee...before I poop...after I poop! It's all for science of course!!! LOL!!!

I want to weigh daily SO bad, but I weigh once a week. Otherwise, I'll drive myself insane. Can't do once a month- I'd tear my... hair? out. (I shaved my head this week lol).

Going WLS Male on this one!
All of us who are male are dumb ass stupid including myself! We are genetically HEAR ME ROAR! so my view is this is your journey you did this for yourself Not him! He wants to kill himself stay clear, You are no position with your journey to carry his weight!
He will either get his head out of his ass like myself!
Or he will be like my best buddy Barron! - he is currently in a Urn at age 53
So focus on yourself he is going to see the results and when you are able you can give some support but it will take something other then you to wake him up! For me it was a trip thru the Cardiac Ward laying there wondering if i would ever see my kids again. He is a food addict like all of us, I would eat fast food 5 times a week, drink like a fish and eat like a animal. I know where he is at.
Enjoy your journey - This is for you! Do not get frustrated Do not get on his case about it - he will push back all males do! Just do your thing and slowly he will see you changing, you being happy and maybe wake up!

ok I cant believe I am jumping to this thread to tell my story in hopes that you can relate or find hope or commonality in my story.
I had my first Surgery as My Marriage was coming to an end it was an attempt to save it but was a joke, nothing was going to save it.
I got banded and got miserable throwing up all the time lost 30 pounds and divorced healed a little emotionally. Started dating, Still heavy not as heavy thought like you it was easier to date fatter.
Anyway, flash forward 5 f**king years of no luck no love dating. uckkkkk to the nth degree. but I knew I wanted love.
And kept trying. I eventually said ok if not love than an education. So I went back to school and got a degree lol still no luck no love dating. But I wasn't as focused on it. But still dying inside wanting to be in love or at least like, and a partner to go through things with.
Well despite my pathetic attempt with the lap band I gained it all back. Finally after a trip to emergency room I decided to have it out and got sleeved. Finally real weight loss. Still dating no luck no love dating.
I kept trying because like I said I wanted love. I did everything people said "learned to really love myself" I wasn't even close had to really figure that **** out. Weight or no Weight. Got it mostly figured out. Kinda,
Being obese is a mechanism to not really deal food was my drug,
OK so Finally still dating now thinner a little more success.
And then it happened met him On Zoosk. But the best part was we went to a restaurant on our first date and as we are looking at the menu, he starts to say, oh I really dont eat much not sure if you would understand but I had this thing done to my stomach. LOL I just looked at him in disbelief. Not to mention I was digging him anyway.
Well there it was we split our first of many Entrees "steak tips" laughed about Protein Shakes and all that went with the first year. He was a year and a little out I was nearly two years out.
Ok so Moral of the story don't give up but don't focus on it. And while you are waiting get **** done. Getting my degree was amazing. I used to pray for God to send me a Man a good man, Or at times any man. When I stopped focusing on that and my pray changed to Get me to graduation and let me be thinner or at peace with my weight.
So year after 7 long years I did it. I am in love with a man who has a gastric sleeve and teenage boys who play sports and video games like mine.
Sorry to tell you the sappy story.
Best of Luck

This is more of a venting than anything else. I find being single now after I have lost alot of weight harder than before the surgery. I knew why I was single when I was heavy. I have not been on a date since loosing weight. I have tried single sites, going out dancing even trying to recruit friends at work. People tell me how well i'm doing and that I look good now but still no success. I have not always been heavy and dated plenty before I gained the weight so I know how to talk to the oppisite sex. has any one else been through this. before you say it I know.....just give it time but it still sucks.

These are great! Now I wish I had kept some of my old shirts. I especially love the ruffle dress.
