Jeramie Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Talk about a rough last week! Wow.. I had the biopsy on Wednesday. I had to be there at 8:00 (couldn’t eat or drink after midnight). They didn’t do the biopsy until 11:00a.m. I then had to lay on my back and not move for 4 hours. They did mildly sedate me so I was drifting in and out while watching TV. The 4 hours didn’t seem horrible except to my wife. I’ve been on full restriction until today, couldn’t lift anything over 10lbs and no bending over. Talk about feeling worthless. I couldn’t do anything around the house all week and just sat on the couch. The pain wasn’t horrible but they did do 4 samples so it hurt. I was able to use Tylenol to keep the pain down. I took off from Wednesday/ Thursday and was already off Friday. The doctor called on Friday with the results. I’m grossly obese. Not on the outside, on the inside. I only weigh about 206 and I’m stocky anyway but apparently people can carry fat differently. I apparently put it in odd places. The fat is attacking my liver (didn’t know that could even happen). The amount of fat deposit I have is equivalent to drinking hard liquor every day. Good thing I don’t drink at all. As of right now there is no damage but I have to drop my weight to between 180 and 185 in the next year and keep it off to avoid damage. If I don’t they want to put me on meds to drop the weight. So it was pretty good news. I haven’t been a hardcore gym rat in about 4 years (that’s when the weight came on). Looks like I get to start lifting and running again. I’m actually kind of happy about that. Its all good very good news as long as I can strip this weight off. Monday I flew to New Orleans with a guy from the office. I did eat my fill of oysters, catfish, shrimp, and gumbo while I was down there. I figured if I needed start fasting and drop the weight I might as well go out with a bang before I get started. And how can anyone go to gumbo and seafood country and fast?! We took a short tour of the French Quarter too. We had to go to the Shell Refinery up the coast closer to Baton Rouge. Yesterday was fast and furious. Started at 5:00 with breakfast and a drive to the refinery. Worked there, drove back to catch the plane, unscheduled layover in Dallas, finally in Tulsa at just before 9:00, hour drive home, and I fell into my bed at 10:30 It made for a long/ short trip. I’m tired today but here… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhino Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 That's pretty good news Jeramie. Changing over to a healthy meal plan helped me drop 25lbs last year. That along with 20 minutes a day on a stationary bike. Doctors orders for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
