Me too! Me too! I've been hogging out for days! I could have written this post.

I commented the following on the men's board yesterday: I shared some time back that I would finally accede to common sense and have a colonoscopy six years late at 56. For those years I was phobically embarrassed to allow trained medical professionals to have my ass, and inspect my seriously abused colon. My wife was resolute in her insistance that I would. I realized that a year after wls I would plan to have the procedure. Today, I was the vessel in which my new bari surgeon took my colonoscopic virginity. I had some discomfort preparing for this clensing , but virtually no pain with the actual procedure. One polyp and one small roid were found along with minor diverticulosis. The polyp and the roid were removed. I no longer have the colon cloud hanging. PLEASE emphasize to middle-aged farts to get this done. If they say their A-- is too fat, suggest wls. S--t happens, colonscopies in some men don't. Some of those guys DIE! Dave

pig. I don't know if it was because we thought a hurricane was coming right threw Central Florida or because I'm just a big fat pig. I have gained 5lbs. back over 5 days. I so stupid. I only had 11 more pounds to go, now it's 16 more pounds to go. Why can I not still get control over this. I hate it!!!!!!!!!!!! The other day I wanted a Pepsi so bad, that goodess I didn't do that. At least I now that if I ever took one sip of that it would be all over, because I would never be able to stop drinking it. Still to this day that is what I miss the most. Not an food item but a drink! I'm crazy. Please someone put me on the straight and narrow again. I know this is a lifetime commitment and everyone will screw up now and then but I having a hard time getting back up on that horse. Please help, you guys are the best support in the world. Katie

Tell me about it! I just got back from my first 'plastics' consult. UGH! Naked pictures to look at together. I'll just keep my clothes on.
