Spending time with the grandkids and when we’re not doing that, hubby and I are riding our Harley’s! My motorcycle is my passion and freedom and just one of the reasons I’m on this wls journey. We have some long road trips planned and being in shape will help with fatigue and riding in general.

I try to keep busy, so end up doing a lot of things. I travel a fair bit, usually to places to do outdoor stuff (fishing in FL, snowmobiling in Maine, boating, etc). I love anything outdoors and bike, kayak, hike, walk, fish, boat and keep active in conservation activities and groups. At home on a normal day I swim, do outdoor chores (think construction / home improvement / woods work). Basically anything physical and outdoors and I’m happy, if its productive too I’m even happier!

I just started swimming last week, sure get the old heart pumping, now if i could stop swallowing all that Water i would be getting somewhere lol

Hey Boatnam1, They call that drowning. Just Kidding. Dont know if i will ever swim again even after the weight loss. The loose skin is not something i will ever be comfortable with in public but maybe with a shirt on i could spend some time in the Water. I would do water skiing in a second since the life vest would hide all.

I watch baseball, play in three fantasy baseball leagues, tinker with an idea for a website I want to build related to fantasy baseball, watch too much TV based on comic books, tweet furiously and frequently at idiotic politicians, read about politics voraciously, build and fix computers, and in my spare time i write erotic fiction about blonde Asian midget transsexual amputees in their struggle to be referred to as blonde Asian little person transsexual amputees, but who still prefer the acronym BAMTA over BALPTA. Oh, and I play poker whenever I can sneak away.

Depends on the season, but

Spring-Fall: Go to gym. Go to garage sales and look at other peoples crap (I do this more because my job doesn't give me much normal human interaction during the week). Wander around Homedepot. Go home where my wife is usually just getting dressed. Go wherever my wife tells me we are going/doing for the remainder of the day.

Winter: I have a house in the Catskills that we use as our base for skiing at the local mountains.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
