There you go. Already ate 1/4 of the bag before I ate 5 pieces of Popeyes and all the fries. I was starving after work. Even ate a few pretzels, lol.

I wish I could say I was satiated but unfortunately vicarious is not going to do it. I might have to grab myself some. Thanks!
No more for me tonight, 5 eggs with butter then bed, lol.
I am having nachos as my cheat meal to night.
@Bagua what do you have for cheat meals?

I don't know Juju. I live off eggs and cream of wheat. Pasta with homemade sauce and lots of fruit. Would burgers count as a cheat meal? I do McDonald's if I have lost more than five pounds from two workouts. Scientific, eh?
Vein is fixed, took them an hour. Did it Friday morning.
They had a rep for the product they used onsite, they had made some improvements to the system and wanted to make sure the doctor was up to speed.
‘It was weird when I could feel the guiding wire slide up my leg in the vein, but zero pain. After they were done, the vein felt cold, and it felt like they glued it. You know when you get crazy glue on your fingers, and it feels weird, felt the same in my leg.
‘’The compression stocking gave me horrible pain in my foot because it was crushing it. So I cut the foot off. 2 weeks and I’m ok to train again.
I had gotten used to the aching and itching, feels weird that it’s gone now.
I asked the surgeon if I doubled my leg size if I would have issues now that I lost a fairly major vein. He said you’ll find out if it starts to fatigue faster than the other leg, but the internal system will now have to take over the load.

this was a hard read for me.
Onward and upward my friend. The fix is done, let the healing begin and then push to recover. Don't be impatient, let the recovery happen and then push when they say its ok.
Lol, did I mention I got to watch? I watched him slide the rod in, the cut my leg open more so he could get a bigger cathoder inside the vein to be able to slide the tool in.
More or less it was lime having a caulking gun with crazy glue in it, with a small tube attached to the out put you slide up into the vein, lol.
They entered the vein in the side of my knee. Went up into my thigh to the main branch at my groin. Here’s a pick

It’s fixed already, no recovery is needed, he’s just cautious. He wants the vein to harden and scar up, then the chance of reoccurrence is nil.
I have to wear this for 2 weeks, but I’m allowed to do whatever at work. Just no lifting for now.
I might do some low intensity treadmill though, lol.
I've had a couple operations done on me where I could watch on TV. I don't think I made it past 2 minutes.
They were telling me the guy before me was uptight as they were doing his. But I’ve also seen people pass out giving blood. We all handle it differently.
So in case anyone is intrested here is the complete procedure with outcomes in studies.
