Tim,

Agreed...that scale can seriously be a source of confusion...I now keep it put away until Sundays because if it was out would be on it daily, and that would cause me to have a big steamer too!!

Best,
Bill

Topic: Attn all motorcycle riders (cruisers)
*...sigh...*

Memorial Day weekend is approaching and I would like to honour those who died for my liberty by riding this weekend...the weather is going to be beautiful, almost perfect....

I know that immediately post-op, we were on pretty strict weight restrictions (for me, nothing over 10 lbs) for the first couple weeks)...as of yesterday, I was 7 weeks (almost 2 months post-op).

It's really not the rough ride that concerns me (for the record, I ride a 1983 Harley Davidson Wide Glide - FXWG - shovelhead and yes, at low RPM it shakes like a dog passing a peach pit), but the rolling it out of my garage...it is not a light vehicle by any means...I don't want to do any internal damage to any of the work that has been done and has been healing...

I've got an e-mail message in to my surgeon but have not yet heard back...

Can anyone provide some insight/guidance?

Did you have RNY??  If you are not sure call your doctor's office.  So often what you think minor may be a major issue.  We as men think..."Well, I'm not a wuss...I'll tough through it".  By checking with your surgeon they can spot something that might be serious.  I couldn't burp for 6 months post op...So in some ways I envy you.  Can you swallow OK?  Brian

Got home from work, stripped down and got ready for a shower. Jumped on the scale for ****s and giggles- 173- I was 170 this morning WTF! 5 minutes later I got that old familiar feeling and after purging a whopping steamer I couldn't resist- now I'm 168-  Just sayin'.....

Glad to hear you went thru it well and yes PTL.  I just got home yesterday and believe me you will feel 100 % better once you escape the hospital.  Looking to hearing from you as we have a lot going together with only 6 days between our RNY.

Topic: RE: They didn't kill me....although they tried!
Thanks for all the encouragement from everyone.  I understand it's a slow process and that I have to be patient.  I'm taking it slow now as my gas pains have eased up and now I am realizing that I have 7 wounds to my belly.  Here's to better days ahead and good times on the "bench".

You know when I first started reading this forum I thought some of you guys were a little carried away with farts.  Over the past 6 days I have come to realize that "you understated the seriousness of the problem".  LOL!

If you smell like ammonia after a hard workout you 100% are not getting enough carbs.  Finding what is the right amount is difficult and takes time.  I'm still trying to find the sweet spot.

"Home Sweet Home" never means more than when you get home from the hospital.  Glad you are home and on the mend!!  Get your rest and take it easy!
