The IRS decided to audit Grandpa, and summoned him to the IRS office. The IRS auditor was not surprised when Grandpa showed up with his attorney.

The auditor said, “Well, sir, you have an extravagant lifestyle and no full-time employment, which you explain by saying that you win money gambling. I’m not sure the IRS finds that believable.”

“I’m a great gambler, and I can prove it,” says Grandpa. “How about a demonstration?”

The auditor thinks for a moment and says, “OK. Go ahead.”
Grandpa says, “I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that I can bite my own eye.”

The auditor thinks a moment and says, “It’s a bet.”
Grandpa removes his glass eye and bites it. The auditor’s jaw drops.

Grandpa says, “Now, I’ll bet you two thousand dollars that I can bite my other eye.”

The auditor can tell Grandpa isn’t blind, so he takes the bet.
Grandpa removes his dentures and bites his good eye. The stunned auditor now realizes he has wagered and lost three grand, with Grandpa’s attorney as a witness. He starts to get nervous.

“Want to go double or nothing?” Grandpa asks. “I’ll bet you six thousand dollars that I can stand on one side of your desk, and pee into that wastebasket on the other side, and never get a drop anywhere in between.”

The auditor, twice burned, is cautious now, but he looks carefully and decides there’s no way this old guy could possibly manage that stunt, so he agrees again.

Grandpa stands beside the desk and unzips his pants, but although he strains mightily, he can’t make the stream reach the wastebasket on the other side, so he pretty much urinates all over the auditor’s desk.

The auditor leaps with joy, realizing that he has just turned a major loss into a huge win. But Grandpa’s attorney moans and puts his head in his hands.

“Are you OK?” the auditor asks.
“Not really,” says the attorney. “This morning, when Grandpa told me he’d been summoned for an audit, he bet me twenty-five thousand dollars that he could come in here and pee all over your desk and that you’d be happy about it.”

Don’t mess with old people!

I will be down to five ounces at a time very soon.... the Gastric sleeve will leave me with a seven ounce stommach The doc says type 2 Diabedes and high blood pressure resolve them selves fairly soon after the surgery. By the first month its not unnusual to have lost forty pounds....

but here is the diet in general terms each doc and dietitcion will be different


Stage 1 – The first week after surgery

• Clear liquids only. These include:
  • Water
  • Decaf Tea
  • Sugar-free Posicles
  • Broth

Stage 2 – Week 2

• Full liquid diet with protein shakes.

Stage 3 – Week 3

• Soft-pureed foods. These include:
  • Soups
  • Scrambled Eggs
  • Cottage Cheese

Stage 4 – Week 4

• Soft foods.
  • Boiled chicken.
  • Fish
  • Cereal
  • Mashed potatoes.

Stage 5 – Week 5 and beyond

• Introducing real foods.
  • Introduce small amounts of foods.
  • Chew well and eat slowly.
  • Eat 3 small meals a day.
  • Eat a small, healthy, nutrient dense food as a snack if needed.
  • Get your protein but don’t forget vegetables and fruit.

Include within all that exercise... Walking is the preferred.... and what I Prefer.

its going to be somewhat difficult eating afterwards but From what I understand four ounce of yougurt will fill you up uncomfortably.

Of course there are vitimines and such but this is a Paradigm shift in life style Because this is what they are going to do to me....

Kind of scary from my end.... I have had more than one anxiety attacks over it... But at the rate I am going I will be dead of a stroke or heart attack.

And No This will not stretch out not withe this type and location of the surgery.
