It's the little things...

Not much of a fart but I noticed this morning that I can see my clock over my belly. Before in order to see the time from bed I would have to lift my head to see over my belly. Not any more!!!

 Hmmm...I'm taking this 2 ways...you might want to clarify a little bit hahaha.

very cool Craig.

I had to read CLOCK 3 times before I really noticed there was an L in the word.  LOL....

Why don't you just buy a watch. Oh you said get the L out of the word.

Well that stretches things out a couple of inches or so. Congrats

If you had a grandfather **** I bet you could really see it against the wal

Oh wait I forgot the l




wall

I know what you mean. the other day i was pulling out of the driveway, and I droped my cell phone. It landed next to the gas pedal. Instead of getting out of the truck i took a shot and reached down and grabed it like it was no big deal.

Someday I need to take a little time and make a list of all of the things I can do now that I couldn't do at 450. Drying off after a shower with just one towel might make the list.

And I hear you on the dropping the cell phone thing. I'm actually starting to catch myself wondering why they made the seat so damned big in my pickup. I used to wonder why the steering wheel was so close that it touched my belly.

Ain't it amazing the things we all took for granted in life.  Having all that extra space in a movie theater seat, a restaurant booth, your drivers seat, wiping your ass good and clean without any trouble, seeing your "clock" - I mean **** without our bellies getting in the way, and last but not least - having awesome sex till the cows come home and not getting tired in the process.  There are many more milestones, but these are the fwe thaqt come to my mind right off the bat.

Anyway, be good fellas and enjoy the new found freedom that weightloss has given all of us.  And Craig G. , there is no such thing as "not much of Fart".  What you have experienced is the first of many more Farts to come.  One thing I have learned as a post op RNY patient, any achievements you make are considered "great Farts ", no matter how small or insignificant your progress may seem.

Take care, Taz

7 months postop and 150 pounds lost.  Life is grand baby - oh ya !!!!!!!!!!

  hey Taz-man-du  ..  LTNS ..   Looks like your weight loss is going great, still .. 


  btw, u're our resident {+];-) (along with Russ) ..   Got a question for you  .. 

 I'm thinking of going back to school nights starting this time next year to ..  you got it ..  get my RN ...    I really want to do something medical (always have been interested in it, just didn't have the guts for it when younger) and even my dad was pushing me to be an RN when I started college (the "job stability" of it was an important thing, in his book  ) ..  It will also allow me to give back to others for this life-saving surgery ..    Hopefully I can eventually get a patient-coordinator job with a WLS sugeon's office or some such ..   Since I already have an undergrad BS degree, how long do you think it would take me in community college to get my RN?   One or two semesters should do it?  

I bet there is a program near you that you could finish in about 2 years if you went full time or a little longer part time.  You may even be a little quicker since you already have a BS, you most likely have many of the non nursing credits out of the way.

Good luck

Jim

 thanks, Jim ...

  btw, I was talking to a budette of mine online that is a nurse (RN who was a surgical assistant to one of the longest-practicing RNY surgeons in the U.S.) and she says I might as well go for an RN while I'm at it, since, b/c I already have a bachelor's, it would take about as long as the LPN coursework would ..

  (err, Tazman, did we lose you???)
