I am a retired 30 year Navy veteran, married to a very sexy woman for 28 years and have 4 wonderful kids.. Retirment for me was like getting divorced when your still in love. I slowed down and spent a lot of time feeling sorry for my self and as you can imagine packed on the pounds.. In Feb I finally decided that enough was enouhg and went to the Dr and asked to get the "Lap Band". She asked me to try the "Protien Power" diet and if that didnt work.. Then she would sign me up. Well here we are 60 days later, 45 lbs lighter and still going strong... :)
