No game

Yes misty and Susan usually I would urge people to read these forums for information. But after reading the amount of misinformation here in this thread alone? Not to mention several others, I would urge a person researching WLS look at independent sources for factual information.

Lol, bless them in their innocence I gave him the stink eye after that comment and he's all doe eyed asking "what?" I'm like "what if I told you you were going into menopause??!" (Yep it's the best I had)

Oh and you every opened up a Fage and have liquid on the top, and then go to drain it and half the container falls out into the sink??? Doh!

Lol I just bought some today. A massive jug of it.. I go back and forth on 2% and 0% Don't ask me why.. I guess I like variety It tastes just as good to me but I think I trick myself into thinking I don't feel as full as long with the 0%.. Yep that's my fat brain thinking

I guess she got me feeling a certain way yesterday with all her questions... I get it she's just trying to see were she needs or wants to be.. I started a thread last night about competition amongst woman.. Because at he same time she was PMing me a member that hasn't been around in a while came back and was PMing me. It was smacking of bragging whilst putting me down and I didn't like her needed to draw back handed "nice" Comparisons.. Anyway fasting today, I've been having a real hard time getting my liquids in this week! I'm just to cold! And I'm breaking out bad?? I wonder if that had anything to do with it. I showed my husband the mess that is my face this morning and he said maybe it's menopausal?? Lol! You gotta love that man

I skimmed

Good luck misty and check in when you can

Cheri, Thank you for spelling out the last part for those of us that weren't bright enough to get it...

Yeah...well,I bet my ass is bigger than yours

You too butter! Lol I didn't see you there when I was posting Off to do some cross addiction shopping

Yes Lynda! I compare to myself at this time last year! As I'm at a year now and I'm happy! Oh and aroundhky, if you really wanted to cheer me up you flash one of those shirtless photos! I promise not to compare

If we compare against the next girl (or guy) It will do one of two things.. make you feel better at the expense of the other person. Or it will be another thing added to tear you down.

We've made a drastic scary courageous move having this surgery... All of us! And all of us are MUCH improved, right? It's hard not to compare.. I try not too, but I find myself looking at stats too. But to pick apart (ever so nicely that you did) does tear a person down.. We've all had years of that some of it self inflicted. And thanks guys.. Lol this wasn't a thinly disguised attempt to gather complements Just a hurt I wanted to get out.

I think it's especially damaging to our fragile in transition psyches when this competition takes place here. Yesterday was a day of behind the scenes comparisons.. I felt a comparison and competition where there should be none. I am older? I am lazy? Yes you've done better than me? Which one? I will say it. To be free of the comparison that does nothing but tear down my own personal success. Or was that the intent.. Be proud, and I will be proud. You are not me, I am not you..

Well I did say I was old and WHINEY

Recovery was a bitch for me! I'm old, whiney and it was major surgery... BUT, it was worth every miserable second I had to endure those first days.. Keep your eye on the prize girlie and all will be fine

I think if you had used a catchy title like "LET ME SEE YOUR HANGY SKIN" You'd get more response..

Alex what's up with this in the app ??? It's kinda making it hard to read certain peoples posts...

Oh and misty thank you for opening up. I feel like I finally "know" you now. And I am once again struck at the common ground that so many if us share..

Lol I love that post.. "Hey fatties would you mind lifting up your shirt for me so I can see your hanging skin... As to scare the shitted out off myself"

I do. It's amazing how fast the year went by too. I see all these new November people going in for surgery everyday here and really it just feels like it was yesterday. I am so much happier now not t mention smaller

Looking good girlie! I was a year last week! 11-13-12

Why do we do that? Why must we compare?

Ohhhh butttter!!!!

Lol we cracked the code!!
