Awesome. glad to hear things are going well.

Awesome!

Way to go man. Keep up the good work!

Good luck to everyone today!

Walking/hiking mostly. I also coach flag football which gets me out of the house a couple of nights a week. Just go outside and wander around, look for little projects around the house. Where I'm from we call that "piddling" Also, 40 isn't even close to old.

Sweet. Thanks.

Trying to stock up on post surgery needs. Amazon has 18 pack of Premier Protein ready made shakes for $30 after shipping. Anyone have any other good deals they would like to share?

It's cool that your family doctor is so supportive. Out of curiosity is he younger? I have found that older doctors have a more primitive view of bariatrics. I am also an emotional eater (yes men do that too!) the only advice I can offer is try and be as active as you can. The more time I spend alone on the couch the more likely I am to fall back into the cycle of depression and binge eating. Anyway I wish you the best of luck on your journey!

Haha glad to hear everything went well bro.

I had something like this in mind.

I have found best way to distract from head rolls is to grow a gorgeous mullet.

Damn dude if this isn't motivation I don't know what is. haha

Pikeville KY. What about you? @@munc0911

Good luck!!

I second the notepad advice. May also want to write out all your questions beforehand as you will be hit with a lot of information and your mind may go blank, as mine does lol.

Kentucky boy here.

God bless all those who are trying to quit tobacco. It is a hard thing to do, but this road we are taking is full of bumps, just consider this one you have to pass. My surgeon requires you to take a nicotine test prior to surgery.

My surgeon and sleep specialist both told me to bring mine. If you are not certain bring it anyway.

Cool story bro. Best of luck.

Scheduled for Nov 10th. This has been 10 months in the making (long story). Need all the advice and support I can get from you awesome group of people.

Good luck!!

I bet if this guy was at a point in his life where he and his doctor felt surgical intervention was needed in order to lose weight and save his life then he would change his tune.

I have went back and forth in my head countless times between the two options. My surgeon recommends RNY and my PCP recommends the sleeve. It is a very hard decision to make.
