Hi, I used to post at least 3 times a week. Just stopped doing it; not good. During 2015 in the winter I had continuous sinus infection. The meds I was on included antibiotics and predisone. I gained 15 pounds and never got it back off. So now I am maintaining between 215 to 220. My original...

Hello everyone, My wife and I over the Christmas holiday decided to "take off" and get out of New York and off we went on a last minute fantastic 10 day cruise to the Caribbean on the Norwegian Gem out of Manhattan, NY. We simply had one of the best vacations of our lives. We both left...

Hello, It is very quiet here lately. I hope all our regulars get back to posting to stay in touch with each other. I am equally guilty. Over the summer so much was going on that I neglected to get to the site each day. Anyway, I am formally in maintenance. I reached my goal of under...

Hello Everyone, I have been away from this forum for much too long a time. My wife and I have been so busy this summer with trying to sell our house and also some family issues that I have neglected getting to this forum that I strongly support. A couple of items. I made goal. I reached...

Hello Everyone, I am back from vacation. I had a wonderful time. I followed my program, allowed myself goodies whenever I wanted them but not to excess. My biggest goodie is ice cream. I also had a couple of alcoholic drinks (vodka and diet cranberry juice) but that was that. I also...

Hi everyone, I hope to get back to responding to posts real soon. Been very busy. We have put our house on the market. That has created several challenges. We are sizing down. The stress level is going up! Running around doing different things, but not fast enough for the darling...

I am under 220 right now at 219.2 and dropping. I am so happy I made the decision to go with bariatric surgery. It has changed my life. Yes, I am still on the honeymoon. I am enjoying getting into smaller sizes and finding new energy and feeling good about myself. I am only 19.2 pounds...

Wow, I went out there and made short work of snow plowing. My driveway is about 30 to 40 feet long and 2 car widths wide. The snow was getting heavy so I went out and did it before it gets worse. We have a small powered snow plow powered by ME !!! The little thing has served us well...

Good Morning, Yahoo! Yippee! 228.8 I haven't seen this weight since the early 1990's. I am feeling good and vibrant and so much to live for again. My wife is also enjoying the new me! She is shopping, buying me new clothes, tutoring me on dressing to look good. I seem to have...

I didn't get much of a chance to post and/or respond to posts. My wife and I on a spur of the moment (cabin fever) said lets get the heck out of here! So, we took a timeshare in Alexandria, Va just outside of Washington, DC. We stayed in Old town Alexandria. We had a wonderful time...

Last night I hosted a birthday dinner with my closest friend and family. It was a great evening. Everyone enjoyed themselves. We had many laughs, lots of conversation, plenty of pictures, lots of hugging and so on. The restaurant staff were terrific. Now, here is where you must come to...

Hi, Last week my Doctor told me to stop my diuretics. I was somewhat dehydrated. So I stopped. Guess what? I started to gain weight. OK. I was dehydrated and taking a diuretic. So the body had to find a new balance with appropriate hydration. I have since been drinking plenty of...

Well today I am 8 weeks post op and doing pretty well. However, yesterday was a nightmare. I went out for a late afternoon ride with my wife to a nice place for a small bite to eat. I ordered a plain grilled chicken cutlet on a roll. I took my 1/2 sandwich, removed the lettuce and tomato...

All of us who have had the gastric by-pass for sure and perhaps other operations find out that while eating/drinking excessive air gets into our stomachs. It took me a few weeks to figure out how to manage this better. When drinking water I have a camelback sippy cup to help minimize air...

Hi, One of the challenges I am having is drinking at the right SLOW rate. I remember coming home with a guideline to drink one ounce of liquid every 15 minutes and that I drink that ounce with several small sips. Now that I remember that I realize I am drinking way too fast and must slow...
