Vacation

Apr 06, 2011

Well we just got back from vacation to Florida we went to Disney World, NASA, and took and everglades air boat tour and we had a blast well the airplane ride was good I fit in the seat with room to spare I was able to use the seat belt without a belt extender and had some extra belt left over at Disney I was able to fit in all the rides which for me was the Best part because 'I was able to take my son on all the rides he wanted to on with out worrying g about not being able to fit on the ride also the temp was between 85 and 90 the whole week and 11 months ago I would not have been able to tolerate it but at 133lbs less It really wasn't that bad the only thing I had a hard time was finding healthy foods to eat and diet drinks other than soda and there water taste like shizz so if you go bring chrystal light packets plus to my surprise after a week of not going to the gym and not eating the best I still lost 3lbs so all in all we had a great trip. Oh and we found out we are having a Girl today

Jul 31, 2010

Well yesterday I got my first tattoo done I have wanted one since highschool but never had the guts to get one well I figured if I had the balls to get my guts rerouted then I should be able to get a tattoo I did have some concerns about losing wieght so quickly and saging skin so I went in to talk to the artist about it and he said were I am getting it it should not be a problem (right shoulder) he said if anything it will just wrap around my arm more so I said heck with it and made an appointmant it did not hurt tell after it was all done and then it felt like somone rubbed sandpaper on its all done now and looks good the artist did an awsome job my mother in-law thinks im having a midlife crisis

road trip

Jul 09, 2010

well I am taking my first road trip since surgery about 4 weeks ago and it is a little interesting eating on the road I found that shaved turkey or chicken breast works the best because its easy to eat while on the run and it seems to satisfy for a long time the porteine on the other hand that is a pan in the butt oh of course its a pain in the butt at home too.

3 days post-op

Jun 17, 2010

Well I'm 3 days out and cant believe how much better I feel I took the dog for about a mile walk  felt pretty good although it was probably 1 city block to many had to take a nap after wards I'm finding it hard to get all my meals and protein shakes in because I am always sipping on a water bottle if any body knows were to get the flavorless protein that you can mix with your food I would appreciate the help
