I was at the gym and this person looked at me and looked at me. He then came up and said is this Kenny? When I said yes, he said damm I thought it was you . He couldn't believe how good I look. What a great moment!

I haven't had that "I didn't recognize you" moment yet. I'm kinda looking forward to it. I may have to dye my hair and grow a mustache in order to get it. But I will take this opportunity to piggyback my small fart on the back of your big one. I work on the second floor of a two story building and for the last 7-8 years I've taken the elevator up and down because of laziness and the pain in my knees from using the stairs. But mostly because of laziness. After my surgery, I decided to change that part of my lifestyle also and so I started to ride the elevator up but take the stairs down. About a month after that I felt good enough to start taking the stairs both ways, but I used my hand on the railing to lift as much weight as possible off of my steps to minimize the pain in my knees. This morning I had to run downstairs and it occured to me about half way down the staircase that I wasn't grasping the rail. I was just walking down the middle of the stair way and letting my legs handle all of the weight. And my knees weren't even *****ing about it......much. I love getting smaller and lighter.

The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.

Great story, Jfish! After WLS, I swore off both elevators and escalators. Although a struggle at first (like you holding on the rail), I now climb the four stories up to our office two steps at time 4 or 5 times a day. I also try to use the restroom on the first floor (depending on the sense of urgency

) just to burn up a few more calories. Keep on keepin' on Jfish.....you're doing great and your "I didn't recognize you" moment is coming soon. Boner

I guess that I am either a little lazy in regard to the ****ter trek, or perhaps I just seem to have a greater sense of "urgency".... Either way, I just keep a 5 gallon bucket under my desk in case the urge to void my bowels presents itself.

What a coincidence. I keep a 5 gallon bucket of axel grease under my desk in case the urge to void my prostate presents itself.
