You never fail to get me laughing, man. Good stuff.

Guac isn't bad.....lots of good fats and flavor that will keep you satisfied for hours. Fritos........kick those bishes to the curb. Fried anything........again, kick that crap. Admittedly, I haven't gone back and read other replies...you most likely have already read better advice and applied it. I hope you kick some arse.

Success story? How about a 2fer Tuesday?!
Dub replied to BigViffer's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I'm proud of you !!! You are truly one of the real deal no kidding winners on here and inspire me with your results and the efforts it took to get your results. Good stuff, bro, good stuff. I've been away from the gym a bit lately. My excuse is a killer workweek that ended and I hauled arse a day later to drive up an visit with my folks. No gym to be found. I cooked, I grilled, I did what I could. Came home today and hopped on my scale......a new low was seen....at a time of day when the scale is normally not friendly. You have been kicking arse and taking names for the longest, boss. Keep after it. Proud of ya !!! -
In a "Brokeback Mountain" kind of way? None of that action for me, thank you for offering, though. Hetero coffee fiend, here.

I waited a couple months.....but it was on after that. I drink the cowboy shyt out of it now.

Kicking arse and taking names !!!! Looking mighty good !!!!!!!'

I hope on the scale almost every morning shortly after I wake up. It's no big deal. It's something that I look forward to. It's pointless to weigh later in the day, for me, because the number will always read higher.

I'm not really sure I understand your post. You are saying regular food tastes the same, yet you can't eat it. You say you eat a boat load of candy yet you don't care for candy and sweets. Congrats on losing the 92 lbs. Are you still losing ? I've found that everything tastes the same to me....or perhaps even a little better. I'm thinking it's better because I eat slower and savor things much more than before. I'm not trying to load up at meals....simply enjoy what I select and eat that and that alone. I mainly eat meats, eggs, chicken, fish, shrimp, oysters, steak and steamed vegetables.

Surgery in 9 days is it to late..... may 17
Dub replied to findingnish's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'd have this conversation with my surgeon. It's much better to reschedule for later than to find out the hard way during surgery that your liver isn't prepped. -
Sipping while exercising?
Dub replied to applejenn's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
6.5 months out from sleeve surgery. I have zero problem drinking as much Water as I care to drink at a pace that's fine. -
Sleeved Nightshifters?
Dub replied to doppelganger's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've worked rotating 12 hour shifts for damn near the past 20 years. It's what I've blamed my obesity on.............fast food before and after the shift......vending machine junk during. Now....it's a source of strength....a place where I can control exposure to foods based on what I take in to work with me. A controlled environment. A place to walk my arse off and stay hydrated. A gym at work right beside the cafeteria.....where I can occasionally get a lifting session in vs eating the fried death they serve. -
This weekend couldn't be going any better. I got up at o'dark'o'clock yesterday and threw a suitcase in my car and haled arse back to my hometown....some 5 hours or so away. I slipped into a table at Mom's favorite breakfast restaurant and was waiting on her as Dad walked her through the door and guided her to the table. She had no idea I was coming and I haven't seen her since January. She walked in and went to her table and saw a strange teared man sitting there smiling at her. She turned around and told Dad that someone was at their spot.....he said, "Well who is it ? Look at him". She turned and looked back and saw it was me and started yelling out once she recognized me. It was awesome. My Sister was hiding and filming the whole thing. Absolutely hilarious. Mom has had a heap of health problems these last two months and I am so glad to be her visiting with her. I cooked breakfast this morning and am about to get ready and go to church with them. We've had a great morning over coffee and their dogs have adopted me as their long lost brother. Life is good, folks. Yesterday was a great day, today proves to be even better. Life is good.

Total carbs verses net carbs
Dub replied to csawesome's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The struggle is real......... It's difficult to get our fiber. I really respect the macros on the label of the average Quest Protein Bar. Not even sure I trust them.....but I love the numbers on the labels. -
I get this.....bigtime ! That was my week Amen, brother. Amen.

As a guy who has reoccurring umbilical hernias........I can only advise to be careful and let things heal. Mine was repaired during my sleeve surgery....and it's already a mess. Will be getting yet another patch job done later this year. I guess I must have punished my abdominal muscles a great deal over the years....stretched them beyond the way they were intended to work.

What did I weigh when I started running ? I will let you know when that day occurs. So far....grizzlies haven't chased me.....nor did anything else that I couldn't take care of. Hoping to one day get lean enough that these knees will allow me to run. Was walking into the work entrance yesterday and our safety director said, "Dude, you look like you are ready for war". I should have added...."Check back with me when I'm running, bro". Soon...............

Total carbs verses net carbs
Dub replied to csawesome's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I count net carbs. I don't embrace stalls worth a fukk.....but I embrace Fiber like it's going out of style. -
Spices, Seasonings, Herbs, and Condiments
Dub replied to Inner Surfer Girl's topic in Food and Nutrition
LOL. I've actually been afforded an entire cabinet for my spices......and my own private drawer for my knives. Peril lies for any who open either.......... LOL.

Workweek sucked balls. It's over...and over it. Had my coffee....gonna go hit the gym and fukk some shyt up. May go out later this afternoon with some friends and fukk some shyt up fer real. Ready to resolve some frustrations in an old school way.

My peeps.
You guys are the greatest. No bail attempts needed on this Friday.
I hit the heavy bag enough at the gym this morning to take most of the fight outa me. Most of it.
Met my son for Messican this afternoon and a pair of 'ritas took the rest of the fight.
Packing my bags now......gonna depart at 5:00am or sooner tomorrow morning. Heading to my parents hometown. 5hr drive if I push it.
Mom's been really ill lately. Gonna haul ass at o'dark'o'clock and beat traffic and get there to her favorite breakfast spot and be sitting at her table when Dad brings her in for brunch. Surprises will be had. Gonna stay for Church with her on Sunday and for my nephew's baseball game on Monday night. Probably smoke some bbq while I'm there for the gang on whatever grill is available.
I miss my family badly.....this is a much needed long weekend with them. Just me and them.
Mornings gathered around the coffee pot are where the rubber meets the road....shyt gets real with that crowd over morning brew.
Life is good.

Diarrhea during first few days after being sleeved...Normal?
Dub replied to FabFemale's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Anytime I go back to the liquid diet, which I do every so often to bust through a stall.....I experience diarrhea. It just seems to be part of the deal. You've been on liquids for a few weeks now and that's likely all it is.
