AJ Tylo

that is my coined term, Remember i am the one who is setting up the WLS Manson like compound - except no killing or drugs! A better is Friends with privileges! But you have to have the right friends who are cool with My Kids first and my company second, then i will do social! Was married for 22 years that was long eneogh - Variety and no drama is the new plan

All i can say is the world has mean people in it! - You have a wife and family and this kinda stress you do not need in your life! Vent here and most important be a husband and parent unlike you mother was! She obviously has some sort of mental issue and is sick, Dont let the toxic environment bring you and your family down

Trust me was not happy cashing out for a surgery but i looked at it this way - Can not take it with you and if i keep going the way i am going to be in a ern Real fast

Feels good congratulations

2 million suggestions on this site do a search

I do not think a true guy would judge based on skin or other reasons, Get out more get involved more, As a single guy i meet partners all the time on airplanes, church, Fishing, or just hanging out with friends. Nothing wrong with you making the first move.

I did i paid cash and all done in less then 2 weeks! My insurance does not cover WLS

Everyone is different Chicken is he wild card some can some can not - Enjoy the freedom i personally to this day have a heck of a time eating anything - But still happy I did the surgery

Yea Super me to gone from a 52 waist tight to 36 Loose Been a fun ride down - No more searching For big size fat clothes on line - Not going to miss that

Ok i agree the little mesh strainer did work this morning Made it poured it thru the little strainer and No foam! Disagree even the best and most expensive powders foam up on me

No lab test it monitors how many time you stop breathing, You will need a machine and i have one dont use it much but you want to talk getting a good nights sleep, they knock you out and get you air all night - Very healthy move. Once you loose all your weight sometimes it cures up

That used to be true but my Doc took 85 percent of my stomach - So you can only win me over 15 percent! Jk havin fun

I am also a Alcoholic and have not found there to be any ties between the two WLS and Alcohol abuse. This is a nasty hard addiction no doubt and staying sober is very hard. I am by no way clean and sober but i have cut it way back by focusing on my health, my dog, and activities like fishing and females. I found AA to be a freakish cult but it does work for some, My suggestion is to use a aversion approach, it is a common way to divert you away from the use of the bottle. Simply put when you reach for the bottle Drink a glass of orange juice, when you crave the vodka go for a walk, you are diverting yourself away from the addiction by other things. It does work for me, For example wanted to drink last night, so instead i took the dog for a long walk, rented a movie and played clash of clans! But i have been warned by my doctor it will tear the hell out of you little stomach quickly - so the fear of being dead has me alot more sober

I think you are insane! I quit for about 3 weeks before and 2 weeks after and this idiot started again! Sure you can smoke but why? I regret ever starting again, You have made the decision to get healthy and you want to kill yourself with the cigarettes? Makes no sense to me at all Get a dog or play a game or get meds for your anxiety - But smoking would be the last decsion and this is coming from someone who F@#cked up big time and started again

Just had this discussion with my Nutritionist last week - Switch up you diet and lower you calorie intake a little - Body is saying eneogh! Mike i joined cross fit and it helped bust out the last few pounds. Also those short fast plans worked for me. Protein is hard to burn off so high protein diet may be a issue also

just chill you having nothing in so nothing out - It will be there shortly - Yes it freaks you out did me me also but get used to it

Not a newbie but Not to long post OP! This whole forum will support you and answer your questions, You made the right choice and the journey is a great one. It is not easy nor is it Hard - So all i can say is best damm thing i ever did!

You are right there - I agree with above, Go buy a dog or a harley, find something else to do besides food, You know the drill, you know what you have to do to get back down. These kind of posts scare the hell out of me since i am closing in on my final pounds, but I am going at it this way, NO F@#ckin way i am going thru this again, I did it! I really would just get back down and enjoy your life, F@#ck Food!
