It truly gets easier. You can do iiiittttttttt! -
Awesome, thanks for the feedback. Were you eventually able to tolerate sausage? Or do you find that you still have that problem? It is hit and miss at this point. If I do straight sausage then 70% of the time I'm just fine. eggs and sausage mixed I'm good 95%.

That is exactly what I did. I found that the only thing that I had problems with the fat in sausage. Otherwise I was golden.

125 days after Sleeve

One heck of a change! -
Yep got a kid. I'm up late wrapping gifts.
-
hurts my back to wrap gifts. I am thankful that people notice what a nice job i do. When my grown son saw the gifts under the tree, he said one of his best childhood memories was the fact that I always took care in boxing and wrapping presents. that I always made sure there were boxes of all different sizes and shapes with many different kinds of paper and ribbons. It made all that back pain worth it! I guess the good news is, I now wrap them over a period of a few days and always with a nice glass of Pinot gris in hand!
-
Given the fact that I can no longer hold my liquor and was feeling pretty darn tipsy one of those nights....they still must have looked good. HAHAHAH
-
I gave up on wrapping one year. I set up a couple of pieces of wood and spray painted all of them with engine enamel. Chrysler red, Chevy orange, Ford blue... I slapped some bows on them and called it good.

You might be a WLS patient when...

I legit have my own version like this that I sang to my students before I left for surgery. They knew I was on liquids, and I joked about them being good, or I might eat one of them. This makes me laugh! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App So are you saying that you are a hot teacher???Not saying I'm hot, lol, but saying I'm a teacher who is super silly with her kids--totallySent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using the BariatricPal App I was a school bus driver for awhile and I can tell you that teachers who are silly and enjoy their students are always attractive and it has nothing to do with physical attributes. I've met many beautiful, ugly people and I've met even more who are homely but extremely beautiful. -

Crematorium you say? Yep I've been there! -
I haven't seen my ex fiance in about 10 years. She used to always wear a size 7 to 8 pants and a medium top. She was actually pretty darn attractive. I ran into her sister at Walmart. I stopped and said hi to her sister and asked how she was doing. It turns out she was standing right next to her sister and was probably close to 300 pounds. Needless to say my ex yelled at me and called me lots of colorful names. She then stormed off into Walmart and her sister turned to me and said you look damn good. Boy am I glad I got rid of her! I could care less about her physical appearance but her lovely attitude certainly isn't missed!

What's the secret to posting images?
highfunctioningfatman replied to LittleBill's topic in Website Assistance & Suggestions
I use photo bucket to host my images. I hate their pc version because of the ads but I like the mobile version. You bring up the pictures, click on the one you want and then click the share link at the bottom. From there click copy link to clipboard and it gives 4 options, the bottom one is "img" which is what works on forums. Paste the link into the text of your message and you are good to go! -

What was your defining moment?
highfunctioningfatman replied to Dknal2's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My wife had to go in for brain surgery in April and I couldn't stay with her because my blood pressure spiked while I was sick. The Dr made me promise to take a blood pressure pill before leaving the pharmacy and call him in the morning to let him know that I was still alive. My blood pressure was 222/111. I couldn't get my blood pressure under 160/110 without meds afterwards. Now it is 110-120/80-85. -

Contraception (TMI for some)

Nobody has mentioned it but my wife did extremely well on Nuvaring. That might be an option for you. -

I have to admit that I love seeing the look on someone's face when I park a dually where the don't think that I can. This was literally the only available parking space. -

highfunctioningfatman replied to LittleBill's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I do buy and sell. I literally have owned just about everything from a classic mini cooper to a F-800 26' box truck. I do it out of necessity as well. Wages suck here so if you want to get ahead you have to do something about it. Wood working is definitely not my thing but I can't afford for someone else to build something for me so I will do it myself. Once we get a bit ahead again (darn medical bills!) I fully intend to add another 20' to my 20x20 garage. -

@@clc9 I can truly laugh because she cheated on me and several guys after me. She obviously isn't happy with her life and I have been happily married almost 9 years. I pity her actually. -

If I told you what I've paid for most of my vehicles you would be quite surprised. That 380k truck was $350. I have purchased 2 new vehicles and both were junk! My black dually is the most that I've paid in a long time, 9k in 2012 and we drove it back to Oregon. We bought it in Orlando. -

Close. It is an '09, and yes, passenger side low beam. The good news is, the low beam is on the top. Otherwise Mrs. LittleBill might be posting a picture of me stuck inside upside down with my legs waving around in the air! This thing is pushing 160,000 miles.Similar to this? One of my trucks has 380k. Yours is just getting broke in.
