What's with all the bitching about not losing 10 lbs. a day? At least three new whines are posted daily. I have come to the conclusion that the psychologists who do evaluations are asking the wrong questions and not paying attention.

@WLSResources - mine used the word "only" as well. She had asked what my final goal weight was and asked how I would feel if I only got down xxx instead of my goal. I think she specifically chose the word "only" to see what sort of reaction it would trigger in me. I was pretty impressed with her - there were definitely times where she used likely trigger words to gauge my reactions, not because she was being insensitive.
-
@heidikat72 I believe that's what mine was doing as well. I don't remember the exact wording she used but it didn't bother me.

Next person to use the word "cheated" in the context of food gets slapped.

Jeopardy taught me something this evening -- that bourbon is made from corn. I like bourbon, but never knew its origins and it wasn't until the quiz that I realized I'd never even wondered. Isn't moonshine made from corn? Does that mean that bourbon is a fine version of the likker that's made beyond the eyes of the revenooers?

I had work in KY. Great history and legends in the industry. Its also huge in Ireland and Scotland I love visiting wineries too. My visits to Napa were great. In NY there is this one. http://www.tuthilltown.com/ Nice heavy rye bourbon

Some people should be chloroformed.

@Djmohr -- You'll be tired today, but you're doing a mitzvah. That's a good thing.

When I see that people visit my profile page, I feel bad. They're looking for clues to something-or-other, but I'm always slow to furnish my corner of a website. Anyone who's curious can ask. If a question is inappropriate, I may nip, but I won't bite. Not too hard.

Had a mammogram today. Why does it seem that each is more painful than the last? I have a dim memory of ny first and it wasn't at all uncomfortable. On the good side, I saw my new PCP. He's excellent at what he does and his first name is one of my all-time favorite masculine names.

I keep saying that the idiotic psych evaluation should be scrapped in favor of an IQ test. Do the idiot surgery practices ever learn? Nah. And who pays the price? Hint: Neither they nor their patients.

@Sai -- You're a honey, but logical-shmogical.

It's a mere misunderstanding over the "E" misplaced in the middle of J-U-D-G-M-E-N-T. I've never laughed so much over a BP thread. This has to have been a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence.

Why does the tiny bit of eggshell wait to hop into my mouth with the last bite of omelet, thereby ruining the whole thing? If it must lurk in the egg mixture, why won't it have the courtesy to get it over with a the start?

@High functioning fat man, it doesn't happen often, but when it does, the piece is microscopic. I remember your little cutie from photos you posted. Does he do freelance shell-removal?

@High functioning fat man, Im not sure who's funnier, you or your son.

What do you do when there's no "there" there?

To the "I lost only" gritchers, this is your speed: “Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.” -- the wisdom of Winnie the Pooh. Just do what needs doing.

Flailing, hell. Lost 11 lbs. since July 18 adjustment. I'm hot and I'm in.

@OutsideMatchInside... down girl down!
That's the beauty of forums... you don't have to reveal a single thing about yourself.
Just be kind and understanding that someone wants to be here for whatever reason.
-
Thanks for the cheers, all. @Unbridled, first there was the verb, then there was the gerund - same DNA with a slight mutation. @OutsideMatchInside, nothing devious or nefarious about it. Upon signing on at BP and about to enter the stats, I was interrupted by the phone. It then occurred to me that entering the stats would serve me not. Jotting them in my trusty, little notebook is quicker than electronics. When asked, I reveal. When pertinent, I include the info in my posts. @krakow57, I stopped smoking in 2001!

Slap me silly. I thought I'd hit a plateau, but no-o-o, I simply slowed by loss by several days of bad eating. Isn't it funny that smart eating works? Maybe I needed the goof because I feel reenergized to do this right.

Early in my lapband career I was able to measure out 1/2 ounce or a full ounce of chips as I planned meals. Then something changed and I couldn't stop, so I stopped buying them for the rest of the time that I stayed with the plan. I don't know if I'd be able to control it now, so I won't take the chance on buying chips yet.
-
OKC Pirate, this is for you. I think your latest topic is in the 'men only' forum not because of the product, but because of the joke. Were you 100+ years younger, you'd have been a guest at the barbecue at Twelve Oaks. I sent the groupon link to a friend who has been slender from birth and has always been vexed by having nothing to keep his pants from sliding a bit.

Easy for you to say, as it comes from your own locker-room joke, which, by the way, was a surprise. I think I'd never before seen you doing locker room material. (The joke is funny, but I'm far way too far sophisticated to say as much. Therefore, you didn't read it here. Dammit, it's getting funnier now that I think of it again. I may guffaw any moment. Don't be surprised. I love "Family Guy.")

Bought a spaghetti squash today, the first in eons. It will be the foundation of a brilliant concoction and I can't wait to chow down. The hardest part is cutting it open raw.
-
When people sniffle over plateaus and stalls, I tell them to hang in and eat properly and give guarantees that everything will catch up again. Now that I've hit my first plateau ever -- this wasn't ever supposed to happen -- I'm sure something's wrong with me. Someone tell me the words. I need to hear the words.

I've lost 23 lbs since restarting my band three months ago. I'll take it. This month is my seventh surgery anniversary and I'm working not to be down on myself for having messed up so badly. I'm the one who messed up and I'm the one who will tidy up.

M'birthday.

I'm going to see Neil deGrasse Tyson tonight. Astronomy is super-nova interesting, but the ticket is more about him. ovea

@Sai and @Babbs - don't be jealous. He may very well make his way out your way while promoting the new book. Last night he and his co-authors, J. Richard Gott and Michael Strauss, were so much fun. NDT, always exuberant, did his thing -- cutting off his pals when he just had to say something. If he weren't so bright and all that, it would REALLY be annoying. The others seemed to take it in good spirits. It really was a fun evening and how nice that he's a 'neighbor.' If you do have an op some time to see him in person, it's well.
By the way, C-Span Book TV series will be showing last night's program. They had a sizeable crew on site to tape it.

I much prefer the illegal kind.

I'm in a good mood. Take cover.

@Sai, I'll give you fair warning. You'll be safe....@LipstickLady, are you doing what's called splitting splinters? )I just made that up and have no idea what it means.)

Where do the blasted fruit flies come from? When I choose my items at the store or farmers' market, I don't see any. Even if they're there (outdoors?), wouldn't they be shooed away when I'm handling the fruits and putting them into bags? How do they get into my kitchen? A day or two after I've placed the tomatoes, sweet peppers, bananas and whatall-else on the counter or table, one or two fruit flies materialize from nowhere. I really hope someone knows how this happens and how to stop it.

@ShelterDog64 - While I sometimes see one around the sink, it didn't occur to me that they live in the drain. I wondered why the sink. I also wonder why I never see more than one there or around the fruit. Maybe there's a law on their home planet.
-
@ShelterDog64 -- As long as they stay out of my brain gunk. What was the TV series last year? I didn't get the premise, but the gummint was somehow sneaking some sort of bug life into people's brains to turn them into mindless followers or replacements similar to "Invasion of the Body Snatcher?" At least, the series was something like that.

Happy Passover, zissen Pesach, already a day in, but it's never too late.

I've never made matzo balls, but, a thousand years ago, I made gefilte fish, but not for Passover. I did it the old-fashioned way, chopping the fish by hand with my grandmother's chopping blade (now 'mezzaluna') and round-bottomed wooden bowl. Lots and lots and lots of work, but it turned out so well that I made it again about a year later. I used a recipe from an old New York Times column.

"Good show!" to all those who blithely encourage a member requesting advice on exercise for weight loss and is dissatisfied with excellent rate of loss and has considered enemas to speed weight loss. Sheesh.

Sharon -- Thanks. I'm working to train myself to skip past the disturbing topics. I'm not paid enough here to get a stomach ache.
PayItForward -- Don't forget the third thread about exercise. It and the one about feeling discouraged appeared together, unmissable. The advice re: exercise was fine in and of itself, but not in context with her other two topics. Her thinking is skewed and she probably needs professional help.

While pondering a decision unrelated to BP's purpose, you all came to mind. I became aware that I value you for being non-judgmental about a topic that so many do judge elsewhere.
