I am a big fan of physical labor. To me routine exercise at a gym is valuable time wasted. This is especially true because the nearest gym is an hour and a half drive roundtrip. Exercise includes physical labor. If there is no physical labor available, I generally do hill walking. My driveway is very steep and all I need to do is walk out my door. One of the tasks I worked on during my second and third year post op was building an underground shelter. Tornados struck about 7 years ago, just after I retired. The tornados did a lot of destruction to my property but spared my house. My house is a one story without a basement and there is really no place to take shelter in the event of another tornado. So I decided to build an underground shelter from an intermodal-shipping container into the side of my hill. Of course, if I build a storm shelter, it should also be a root cellar. And if I go to the effort of building a storm shelter/root cellar then why not go through a little extra effort and build it for Come-What-May, including asteroid impacts, nuclear war and nearby supernovas, etc. So during each of those years I moved 100,000 pounds of gravel by hand along with around 60,000 pounds of concrete blocks. This year my wife wanted me to build a playhouse for the grandkids. I decided to build a log playhouse and also get some of the grandkids involved in the effort. It uses 160 landscaping timbers. With the loft, it extends around 16 feet off the ground. I had RNY gastric bypass surgery over 4 years ago. Without the surgery, I could never perform these tasks, especially since I am approaching 70.

Having not lost weight for nearly two weeks after surgery, I was starting to stress even thought I had heard of the three week stall. I then read this article and discussed it with my husband who's a meat science who confirmed its accuracy. A breath of relief and kept doing what I was supposed to and weight started dropping quickly again. Thought I'd share if someone else was experience and wondering what was going on. Here's the link: The article I read

Totally see it! Good job keep it up! [emoji4] Quick question how is your eating? I'm thinking of starting an exercise regimen at home but sometimes my eating is not so good. Any tips? I'm also 3 months post op.

Omeprazole works well to help prevent acid, Tums works well to deal with acid when you already have it. I'm sorry you're not feeling well. Good luck!

Looking for sleeve buddies !! Had my surgery 8/12/14, and would like to chat with others in my area.

I had my surgery on August 12. I was sick for a few weeks after the surgery, but now I'm doing great. I've lost 76lbs so far. Can't wait for spring so I can get out and walk.
