********

I am really sick and tired of being lectured on this site...people assuming just because I was fat, that I had an unhealthy relationship with food. Not everyone was like this! Pre op, I never ate to excess because when I was full I would stop eating. (I was on a low calorie lifestyle change and stuck with it for years...I stuck with it so I wouldn't gain weight) Fat people get this stereotype from those on the outside all the time (that we eat a lot)and I finally thought this was a place of non judgement. I am aware many on this site got the way they are because they ate a lot but not everyone. Same goes with exercising: people are lecturing that you have to make sure you exercise daily or else and half of these holier than now lectures haven't seen the inside of a gym until this year. Which isnt a problem because they have chosen to make a change but do not lecture others when you dont know their history. Finally...being lectured about my post op drinks. Everyone is given a list by their drs and are not supposed to stray away from that list. I was told 2oz 3x per day of boost, ensure, atkins, slim fast, etc. I am constantly being told these are not healthy...and being read the nutrition facts..um I have it right in front of me and can read but honestly if my dr says to drink it I will.

They feel as almost if they are asleep. Does anyone know what this could mean? Vitamin deficiency? Need more exercise?

I'm told no fruit til the end of weight loss period...everyone is different though

Everyone's diet is different...for me I was week 1&2 shakes, week 3 was yogurt, cottage cheese, canned veggies and eggs, week 4 I was able to add in fish

I was told to wait til after your weight loss period if possible...but I agree to go to the specific forum for pregnancy.

I'm on mirena and usually do not get my period and I got it the first week after surgery (losing 20lbs in a week can do that to you) and then 4 weeks later I got it again (just for one day this time). I think the weight loss causes your hormones to be all outta wack.

Looks like Dr. Luna has a new job offer? Haha jk

Thats how I felt. Ct doesnt have a lot of kill shelters but they have rescues that get their dogs from down south. My baby is from Georgia..but as soon as I saw him (not only his looks) but the way he acted we knew he was for us.

That's fine but when you say you dont like pitbulls because they are ugly and there are too many of them its offensive. Getting a dog shouldnt be about how it looks. I guess its just me because I never understood the whole necessity of getting a certain breed. I would just say to go to a reputable breeder not a dog store.

Sorry lol... wasnt sure the gender She definitely has some shepherd in her right?

I have it in both my legs and all the way up to lower back and belly. Blood tests were all normal, x ray was normal and they did a brain and spinal mri yesterday that im waiting to hear results from...I'm hoping its a pinched nerve other than an autoimmune disorder. Mine is just tingling no burning

He's? gorgeous. Love the tongue lol

That's why I would never adopt a dog without doing research first on the history. My dog was a stray so we didn't know his complete history but we knew that he was good with all humans' date=' dogs, and cats. We did come across that he has anxiety problems but nothing that couldn't be fixed with some meds from the vet. I think purebred pits are beautiful too but we can agree to disagree...however most pitbulls that you see on the street or in a pound are not purebreds . I just think someone who complains about the overpopulation of dogs would be the last person to shop at a breeder or worse a pet store [ATTACH']15075[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]15076[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]15077[/ATTACH]

It was a joke...I was making a joke to defuse the situation that we can stop talking about the racist bs and talk about our pets some more

We are on to pets so unless you have a coon hound or that cat with coon in its name...no more saying it

I'm guessing she meant goons

I live in CT and I'm guessing it gets too cold here to have them

Thanks...I want a hedge hog now though!! Haha

Aww he looks like a Beanie baby. .. so cute Edit: that was directed at little hedgie...

Not great looking? My pit mix got Connecticut's top dog and in a separate contest won most handsome in my town. Sorry I have no kids to brag about. lol. And there's so many of them because we need to educate about spaying and nuetering and adopt don't shop [ATTACH]15059[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]15060[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]15061[/ATTACH]

I get the analogy of dogs. But why pitbulls?

I believe the cauliflower is the crust
