the continuing saga of my journey back to studliness! 

my lap band operation is scheduled for this coming friday.  and, oh btw, i am getting tired of not chewing....

i am in the 9th day of my 14 day pre-op liquid diet regimen..  so far, so good...  it is tough, not from hunger though, but from monotony.   jello, popsicles, broth and the prescribed milkshakes do not provide much "mouth pleasure" as i call it.  oh for a crunch or chewy bite of something solid....

but the weight is coming off.  the initial fluid loss is impressive and even, dare i say it?....noticeable!  17.5 pounds since day 1.  and a total of 40.5 since i started reducing for this surgery some months ago...

and i have not smoked either!  of course my wife is steering a wide berth around me, lol.  i am getting a little hyperactive from both the diet and the nicotine withdrawal...

oops, gotta go pee again.  so i will just finish with a quick plea for those ladies out there in cyberspace who want to help keep my fighting spirits up.  join Team Bear and ....contact me for some erotic chat!  take my mind off of my stomach's appetite and focus it on my carnal appetite!!  let me share in some vicarious pleasures not involving calories or cholesterol!

don't let me down ladies!  be a part of the bear's team and help me in my quest to return to studhood!

i am
