RNY And feeling great. New to the mens forum. What is a FART? I do have real farts all day and I don't mind it all all. I was playing in a poke tournament last week and I did not take responsibility for the powerful odor even after one guy asked the floor man if there was a penalty for farting.

A FART (all caps) is a Men's forum acronym for Fantastic, Awesome, Remarkable, Terrific event on your WLS journey.  Buying smaller pants, running, fitting in a coach plane seat, finding your "junk" w/o a mirror etc all are FART's.  

Interesting strategy to fart, (lower case, regular meaning) at a poker tourney.  Do you win more pots?

Not a great week, weight loss wise, but at least I held my own.  Had a couple of days where I ate stuff that turned out to be higher calorie than I thought...  And since I still couldn't work out, there was no way to "work it off" with exercise.  But yesterday started a new week, and I hit the gym (first time since my hernia surgery) with a vengeance.  Did my full 30 minutes on the treadmill at 4.0 mph, plus the 5 min cool-down at 3.5, then hit the weight circuit for 11 of the 13 machines.  I skipped a couple that would have strained the surgery site, and went a little lighter on a few of the weights - especially after a 4-week layoff.  Then to the pool for 20 minutes of water aerobics.  Would have gone the full 30, but I got there late and they closed the pool on me...    My own fault for being late, I guess. 

Welcome back to the exercise realm.  Glad to hear that you are feeling better after your hernia surgery.  Keep up the great momentum!!

When I used to play online the farting didn't really help. In the live arena, however, it psyches out my opponents quite nicely. I need every edge I can get. Farting is my edge.
