I haven't touched a cigarette since. My Facebook friends know what I look like. I will be watching football, but not just because it's the Seahawks. They'll just happen to be there.

But n the next sentence you said, "..below 70 when I was a smoker" So wtf? Do you smoke or what? I hope not. Ew. Anyway since no one knows what you look lie, I wonder just how bad a extra 50lbs looked on you and I really wonder just how hot you look now! but good for you for taking control and working it out. Maybe think about being a personal trainer? I need personal training. Hey - gonna watch the Hawks tomorrow? because you said, “I don’t smoke now like I did then” this leads me to assume you still smoke now.

I know a few people who have had the gastric bypass and while they're thin, IMO they look like varying degrees of hell. Most noticably their hair thins out and looks horrible. There's one blogger who was quite portly, had weight loss surgery, and looked so freakin' awful they didn't know they'd contracted Hepatitis A and had been sick for weeks. You'd think the yellow eyeballs would be a clue. No shortcuts for losing weight and keeping it off, unfortunately.

I think they are kind of told not to do heavy exercise. I know people on those medical very-low-cal diets are specifically told to do nothing more than walk a little. It seems kind of psycho to have all the torture of not eating combined with not having use of something that can do you good in many ways. Saddest thing of all is when the gastric folk learn to override the stomach signals and stretch out what they have remaining, and regain. But maybe the worst thing is the ones that need some compulsion to take the place of eating, so they turn to booze because it goes down easy, and become alcoholics. Have a hot new year, Cheese. :smile: Wow, way to make up for a posting dry spell. :wink:
