There would just be an empty shop and one of us left in the morning with a big belly. Oh....I forgot....sleeved.

I think Joatsaint was kidding, toungue in cheek unless it was bitten off and eaten.

Any of you guys ever been far enough gone to put together a 6 course gorge in a big bowl? Layers: 1. Mac and cheese, extra cheese 2. pizza sliced up, extra cheese 3. tomato sauce or ketchup, which ever was handy 4. hamburger or sausage or both crumbled, more cheese 5. fried eggs 6. onions, hot sauce, doritos aaaaand..cheese! Tossed in a micro wave until it was a disgusting bubbling mass, fat butt flopped in front of droning TV, down she goes. Belches and gas releases, sleep of stupor. Ahhh, that was the life.

I went for a long time as the standard "Sleeve Master". I am not into B&D so I did not dig it but didn't know how to change it. A sleever said I reminded him of a hippy uncle, full of mystical sayings and quite eccentric. I was "Apple" in the 60's, a painted guru and self-absorbed cloud flyer. I was sufficiently flattered and found out how to change that part: Click the little arrow by your name in the upper right, My Settings, scroll down, fill in blank in front of Member Title

Maybe we should have a "What you want to hear" section. It would have to have a big disclaimer on top warning that the answers are probably bad advice. Folks could post there knowing they would merely be agreed with. Kind of like when my wife says something.

My people, (Iowans), called it sody (sew-dee) pop.

John, I had a drug induced backout in the 60's. I suspected that during that time I was cloned. I now suspect that you were it. You sound just like me.

You've got your **** together, John Latte!

Ya, that little biity water looks like Lake Michigan. You got your eyes on the prize, good. It'll get better.

____________________________________________________________________ XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX OK, NtvTxn, I erected a flame shield for you. You're safe. :ph34r:

Sounds like your ghelin took a big hit. A good thing if you can work past it. You probably know you have to work past hunger. We are used to eating because of it, at first you have to eat with it's absence. It's important to build up the Protein intake when you can. Muscle must be preserved so your metabolism isn't slowed. Sorry if I'm lecturing.

Not hungry before or after. I was preoccupied with living through the operation. At 63 the odds were a bit lower. The first thing I did half way out of the anesthesia was mumble out a joke, my way of celebrating. It's the way of my family, never waste a serious situation by being serious.

Yup, I was on it, what a gas!

Don't tell anyone about the surgery and then when they begin to ask how you are slimming up act like it's a big diet secret. As time goes on and you lose more they will press you more. When you have hooked the ones you want to get, let slip the following "super-diet" of foods that must be eaten in abundance: According to the American Gastroenterology Association, the most common gas producing foods include: cauliflower, brussels sprouts, dried Beans, broccoli, cabbage and bran. Your co-workers will be trumpeting your success. When you finally tell them about the operation, if they tell you you are an idiot for doing it remind them how they fell for the fart diet.

Well said!

I think most of the sly digs, if we could think of any, would go past us unnoticed. It would get pretty boring and we would have to start slugging each other to stay awake. Now it's a party!

I am copying that, sounds delish! Thanks!

I saw cats fighting They made noise and tore out fur I thought... forum girls

Gman's wing man: I must confess I did a bit of chewing and spitting but moved right into very small tasting and licking. My uncle used to gag me when he spit his tobaccy juice into a jar....reminded me of that.

I am a year and a half out and can eat sweets but I don't really like them. At first they gagged me. I used to be a spicy food nut, that's gone now. My main cravings are high Protein things, steak, eggs, whey powder, etc. I sometimes get a craving for salads. Superfood green drinks are my delight, the bestest way to start the day.

My stepfather used to lecture me to no avail about the world shattering effect of leaving the cap off of the toothpaste. My teachers droned on and on in Charlie Brown's teacher quacking while my mind visited teenage playlands. I have been married for over 40 years and have an effective female frequency filter that I can kick on at my whim. The easiest yet are internet forums: one click turn-offs. Ignoring lectures are my specialty.

I tried to do some research about what percentage of obese adults had obese parents but got nowhere. All I could find was that adolescent obesity becomes a bigger factor than genetics although that is still a factor. http://www.urmc.roch...1&ContentID=713 I would guess that many on this forum had obesity in their genes. I did on my father's side. But I also ate like Pac Man smoking grass.

I would like to answer your lecture about lecturing but I'm afraid I might lecture. Edit: Oops, I think I just did.

Many folks employ the pre-adolescent level tactic of elevating themselves by lowering everyone else. Many people see the stupidity of this illusion and by age 13 cease to employ it. Others refine it to an art and end up in politics.
