Weigh 165, 5'7”, I am still active. Everything works.

I can only remember 2 years I met my deductible on Medicare. Was same way with company insurance policies.

My grandmother died at 96, my father died at 94. Both were physically active.

My doctor would like me to weigh 165. I'm 5 ft 11 in and 146.7 this morning. It's a challenge daily to hold my weight after the Whipple procedure. I bottomed out at 136.4 and had an NJ tube to feed 1800 calories per day to supplement what ever I could hold down. I reached 152 in late December and pulled the tube. The pump was shipped back to the provider. If I eat at least 2000 calories, I can hold even. I failed in that last week. Average daily intake of 1000 calories while burning off 1700 daily.
