Are you serious ?
I've found @@VSGAnn2014 to be one of the sweetest and most supportive people I've ever encountered. Clearly you have her mistaken for someone else.
You must have bumped your head.
Go ahead and give everyone their cake and just let me know where the rest is......'cause I'm gonna hop up on the counter and American Pie that cake into oblivion.

People who call and don't leave voicemail.
Now my voicemail message says, "I go through my incoming calls regularly, and if I see your number twice and there's no voicemail, I'm simply going to blacklist your number. You have been warned."
The best part is I've blocked so many numbers that I rarely get any spam calls.

PULL UP YOUR DAMN PANTS!!!! I don't want to see your Hanes underwear with your belted pants around your knees!!! One day, I might get arrested, but I'm going to pull someone's pants down... I guess I should find out how much bail money will be for this...

um anyone having gas on pre-op diet? I know it is an issue post op but having lots of gas now....maybe it is my liver shrinking?

I felt like i was homicidal day 2-3... but too tired to do anything... having weird dreams or an epiphany, then by day 6 it was the calm after the storm... I survived 2 bday parties, 1 baby shower and a wedding reception during that 2 wk span... after I woke from surgery i ask M.D. "did my liver shrink?" He said said No, not significantly...

I had a chicken salad on Thursday and I have my sleeve surgery on Monday. I'm afraid that I will have salad left in my stomach. Any suggestions or comments to help? I'm on a 800 calorie diet with pre-made food (Soup, Protein bars, smoothies, etc) plus 64 oz of non-calorie fluids. My starting weight was 245. All the blogs I've seen most people have to diet with a liquid diet for two weeks. Not sure why I've been allowed to eat prior to surgery.

@@Lipstick lady.... I just joined and I find that you seem great. I enjoy your humor and logical thinking. I look to see your comments on threads. Now I sound borderline stalker. Err.
I love reading trashy books, real housewives, and bravo network in general.
Trying to find tasty Protein shakes has become my new hobby.
My husband is hot!

Yesterday I posted a "brag list" of misc. things about me and clearly I offended a few people so for that, I would like to apologize. If you actually read the list, you will see that there is very little that is spectacular on there and I am certain that everyone on this forum could come up with something similar if not FAR BETTER than I can.

The point of my list was that I want to be known as far more than a WLS patient or former fatty. It was not at all intended to be an entry into a pissing match. I am quite positive that some of my attributes listed like "drives like a do^che bag", "likes reality TV", and "runs screaming from spiders" won't get me far in life.

I was trying to inject a bit of humor, but clearly I missed the mark.

So as not to fan the flames in a thread gone horribly bad, I will post this right here.

My "brag" list. Please keep in mind that I have been blessed to be a work from home mom for 18 years giving me lots of extra time to torture my kids by being HYPER involved in their schools. I am adding notes in red for clarity.



This was a HUGE reason I kept my surgery to myself.
I am a mom to two great teenagers.
I have been happily married for 21 years. He deserves a medal, don't you think?
I have a fabulous goldendoodle. She sheds horribly, don't believe the people who say they don't.
I am a 2nd degree black belt and a certified martial arts instructor.
I volunteer at a womens' shelter. A friend needed their services, this is a little pay back.
I play the guitar. My mom insisted on music lessons and we couldn't afford a piano.
I own a successful business.
I work with autistic children and kids with Down's syndrome. They will let anyone volunteer.
I love Old School Rap and can perform Rapper's Delight in it's entirety. SOBER. Sorority trick. And it annoys my kids.
I love talking to strangers.
I am the VP of my HOA. No one else would do it.
I am PTA president, Choral Booster's VP and head theater mom at my kids' schools. Helicopter mom.
I love dogs, hate cats, save turtles and run screaming from spiders. I won't flush them either. They might come back up.
I was a beach lifeguard, a sorority girl and an only child. (Explains a lot, huh?) Poking fun at myself.
I Zumba, deep Water fin and ski double blacks. Deep Water finning is an awesome class. Try it! My aunt lived in Vermont so we all skied free.
I drive like a ****** bag even though my vehicle is a minivan because I am always in a hurry. (At least I own it.) Poking fun at myself. I'm a horrible driver.
I hold the door for people and I can recite pi to the 56th digit. I had an autistic student who recited pi all day every day. Everyone in my class could do it.
I used to teach emotionally disturbed kids until the parents drove me nuts. And IEPs. They were the worst.
I was a theater major before I was a psychology major, before I got my degree in communications/psychology and my master's in education. Read that indecisive college kid who racked up a LOT of college debt. Still paying those bills.
I am a brown Mexican but don't speak Spanish. Poking fun.
I am a great cook but a horrible baker. Poking fun.
I love to read and I love reality TV. It's embarrassing to admit the reality TV thing, but I can poke fun at myself...
I drive with the radio off because I enjoy the silence. I talk too much.
I could go on forever but I am boring myself. POKING FUN at myself.

I have a lot more interesting things to talk about over WLS. Why on earth would I make that the definition of me? People can't help but ask about it, I have no desire to be the inspiration of that discussion. It was bad enough that people had to "confess" every extra calorie or missed workout to me while I was losing out of a bizarre "guilt".

I'd rather be any of the above over the former fatty/WLS lady.

Again, my above post was not intended to offend or fan any flames. All I can do is humbly apologize and of course, ask YOU to post your BRAG list. I'd love to hear about YOU.

"The hip hip a hop, a you don't stop the rockin'
To the bang bang boogie
Say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat"
Powerful list and great sense of humor.

I'm only on day one . Did anyone have headaches or feel more tired at nighttime ( earlier than they usually would at night . I feel like this two week diet is going to be so hard .

Is there a bariatric surgeon taking your surgeon's position? Maybe you can contact the hospital where you had your surgery and ask for contact information for the new surgeon's office.
Or, call your insurance company and ask for the contact information to the closest bariatric surgeon covered by your plan.
Is .your Nut/Diet. available? Give him/her a call. He/her should be able to help answer your questions.
You're just a wee bit off track and need some information to get aboard again.
I think you will be just fine, once you get some answers.
It may just be that you are not getting enough calories. Go figure, right?
Try and get some consultations set up.
Prayers going up.

@@Myka99 This is what my program says... 5-6 small meals / day (3 hours in between) focusing on Protein (first) and produce. We are not "allowed" bread, Pasta or rice. We are allowed potatoes though. The Water is key as well! And of course we should be exercising (that will be my biggest obstacle).
I haven't had my official post-op diet meeting yet but I believe the portion size is 2-4 ozs per meal. I would have more carbs from fruits and veggies instead of the quinoa (that seems as though it would be a slider food).
Just remember - you have lost 23 lbs and that is excellent! Keep the faith!!! :-)

I absolutely love that creative funny response! YES!

It is just hard to believe that employers have such ignorant people working for them. I can remember being a supervisor in a highly known service company that delivers packages. The management team approached me about one of the African Americans wearing her hair in braids in her hair. This was about 20 years ago. I told them, "Are you kidding me? you do not want to touch that with a ten foot pole; there are all kind of issues that would need to be addressed, including her heritage." Some people in management are just simply clueless and should not be in the upper level of supervision/management. They need to educate themselves on human resource issues, ethnic issues, etc. It is just so hard to believe that companies put uneducated people in high positions, and I am not talking about book smarts/university smarts, I am talking about good ole common sense!
If you do not want to share your medical information, do not feel that you have to. Just politely say, my medical information is personal. That is my suggestion!

I concur w/ you... besides if you have a Union at your job they would tell her that she is not allow to ask you...don't feel bad. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G530AZ using the BariatricPal App
