Slap some sense into me
I've been sitting on a pity pot for the last 2 weeks. A full blown jump start back into the real estate game. To much to soon for this old buzzard.
I need to pace myself or I get the shakes and let myself slip and fall back into bad habits. You're my support family and I cant BS you guys
I need better food and booz choices. PCP all over my ass about sodium,fat intake. Seems like all my meat and veggie choices are all wrong.
And to add a little more stress to my simple life, wifey and I lawyered up - ka-ching.
This last 2 years have been the biggest plateful I can remember.
Well enough guys. Just gett'n some **** off my back

You know that I've had my share of struggling with food choices. However, most of my problems are with snacking. Like most guys, I know what I should eat.
Start with the basics. Keep a food journal. Weigh and measure the foods you eat at home. If you post-op plan allows it, use protein shakes to supplement you food intake and increase your protein. Be aware of both your carbs and your fat grams. We are more concerned with staying on a low carb diet. Personally, I have difficulty digesting high fat food ( resulting in a hurried trip to a bathroom). If you don't know what to eat, go to the Diet and Nutrition Forum on OH. It is more an info source and is not set up like a regular forum. It provides diets for some forms of WLS and suggests what to have at various stages.
As to the last problem you mention, you may want to get some counseling from a religious person and/or from a therapist. I've been married a long time but both my brother and brother-in-law were both divorced about 5 years ago. It was a difficult time for each of them. They had to deal with their problems plus they felt some guilt and didn't know how to relate to the rest of the family. You may want to find out if there are support groups available for men going through a divorce in your area. Ask your attorney if he knows anything about that. Be careful when making financial arrangements. Don't get frustrated and give away the farm. The courts will be on your butt to enforce whatever agreement you make.
In my brothers case, his wife was cheating on him but he had to pay alimony because he earned more that her. He had no problem with child support because he only had one teenager. My brother-in law didn't have to pay alimony; his wife got their house with its mortgage. He also had to pay child support but he had a higher paying job at the time. The court didn't care one hoot when he lost that job and eventually got one that paid less. They still wanted the same child support. One of his new employers erred in dedcuting the child support from his pay and sending it to the court (they deducted it but didn't send it in in time). County sheriffs came and arrested him at work. We eventually paid bail to get him out of jail. JUST BE AREFUL!
