  1. Just found out I can't have kids. Miss food so much right now. I almost regret surgery because I really want to curl up in a dark room and binge until I pop.

      I am sorry to hear that your hopes have bee dashed. If it's any comfort, the doctor's told me when I was 17, that I would never have children. I had tumors on my ovaries and even had one ovary completely removed. My daughters are now 40 and 38.

      am sure that most people you have told have mentioned adoption and that is not what you want to hear right now. When the emotional dust settles down, you might consider fostering. My parents made the difference in twenty kid's lives through being foster parents. Hopefully you have someone in your life who will hold you and hug you and walk you through this while you explore alternatives to an empty nest.

      Just leave your pride and dignity at home. For the most part you will either be given a nice nap or be out of it enough to not care.

  3. NSV? Lost and caught: So there I was--surf fishing (my favorite thing among all things)--standing on the beach in my old, way too loose sweat pants and surf shoes when my lines went "zzzzziiiiiiinnnnnggggg!!!!!" (really big fish on the hook and taking my line). I yanked the rod, fish lurched deeper into the ocean--pulling me in. There I was knee deep--my now water soaked sweats (now way too big since weight loss) down around my knees. What happened? I caught a forty four inch striped bass and lost my pants. I never felt the least bit embarrassed. I was feeling way to joyful, not only for catching a nice fish, but for losing enough weight to lose my pants in the process! I guess it's a good thing I wore my new baby blue undies that day. smile emoticon I was the only woman surf fishing that day and all of the guys were good spirited about the whole experience and attempted to save my "dignity" Ha! I had just out fished all of them!!!!! Joy, joy,

      Losing your britches is often the first NSV for many of us. It is practically a right of passage.

  4. Why do people get so upset and indignant if a sleever calls it a pouch? We all know what they mean...

      It is probably like how we call all tissues "Kleenex". The pouch and the sleeve result from different surgical procedures, but it's all bariatric surgery. The sleeve is more like a tube. Oh well, it is another one of those debates that won't stop the world from turning.

  5. I think I should not take painkillers and be allowed near a computer at the same time. I have a feeling I will be embarrassed tomorrow.
