"Hater" is just what idiots call people who disagree with them. "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "

Tell him he's a meddling old fart and he needs to back to f$%k off. Also, you need to grow some backbone, you're an adult.

No, they visually check it when they've got the laparoscope in.

"Nunya" "What?" "None 'ya business!" "Nacho" "What?" "Not yo' concern!" "Are you on a diet?" "Yup, I'm on the b1tchyouneedtoquit diet."

I brought chapstick (used once), listerine strips (never used), slippers (never used), iPad (used constantly), phone (used occasionally), chargers (overnight), book (finished in a morning and got another book from spouse, which I also finished), notepad (never used), fresh underwear (daily), t-shirt (second day), toothbrush/toothpaste (twice daily). "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "

Also, if your gall bladder is removed during surgery, you can have some negative bowel effects if you eat food that is too fatty.

Heheh @@LittleBill you'd probably love my spicy meatloaf recipe! "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "

Extended Release tabs won't take nearly the full effect because your stomach is much smaller.

I've been posting things like "What a beautiful day!" and "Today is a great day! :D :D :D " and my family is wondering if I've been replaced by a pod person.

If they are immediate release you can still take them. If they are "extended release" you need to switch to an immediate release medication.

1. Chewing releases saliva, which prompts your body to start the digestion process and therefore can make you feel hungry (real or fake). 2. Gum is an indigestible solid and bariatric surgery creates a much smaller stomach, which is even smaller in the beginning due to swelling. Swallowed gum can therefore fully block the stomach, which is a medical emergency. 3. If you must have a nervous habit, try fidgeting instead. At least you'll be burning extra calories.

I am wearing socks, underwear, slippers, flannel pajama pants, a t-shirt, a flannel button-up overshirt, and mittens. It's 69º in the house. A week ago I would be in socks, underwear, and a t-shirt. This "cold" $h!t is real.

Down is nice, except for those of us who are allergic...

The people I specifically told ahead of surgery are: my spouse, our three best friends, my in-laws, my family. I wasn't planning on telling anyone else simply because it's none of their business. All have been supportive, though truthfully it doesn't matter if they support me or not; I'm doing what's best for me and if they didn't like it, they can lump it. However, I have told a few other people... I told my pharmacist when she asked why I needed Lortab (liqui d Vicodin) instead of hydrocodone (generic Vicodin pills). I also told a colleague I had shared my insurance frustrations with, after which she guessed it was bariatric surgery - turns out she had a band placed two years ago and is looking at a conversion. But other than that, I'm a private person. It's really nobody's business but your own, and I'm not the attention wh0re type that needs to tell everyone about every happening in their life because they pathologically can't shut the hell up for five seconds (the Twatter/Facebook personality type...).

I had a job offer in Clearwater Florida that I turned down. There are just too many people there for our lifestyle! It was also 91 degrees with 90+% humidity when I was there in July of 2015. The area still wouldn't be for us but flip flops might be possible there. I've been places where it's 90° and 99% humidity, and I tell you that I would take Phoenix's 120° and 1% humidity any day over that hell.

Mine took just a hair over an hour.

If you look at men in their 50's, death is almost always a heart attack. That's what was in my future if I didn't do something, and I was fully aware of that.

I'm looking forward to a Vlasic Bold & Spicy pickle, eventually! Mmm Tabasco-flavored pickles... "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "

I stayed 2 nights and left after noon on the third day. "When all is said and done, usually more has been said than done. "

At BMI of 42, you're not just obese, you're morbidly obese, and at just about my starting size. You're not just fat, you're at a dangerously unhealthy weight that is inviting diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, etc. I call absolute bull$hit on your husband. The surgery doesn't "fail," patients "fail to change their behavior." If his OR is seeing "lots of re-dos," what that tells me is that the surgeons/hospital are not properly preparing patients for the procedure (ie., setting them up to fail). You're 50 and morbidly obese. Ask your husband if he wants you to die within the next 5-10 years, maybe it'll change his mind. If it doesn't, maybe you need a different husband. I'm 4 days out and this is the best I've felt in so many years. My only regret was not doing it 5 years ago.

I tried a bunch of different sha kes and I agree that the Premiere tasted the best for me. They are also really convenient to get (CostCo).

Maybe you should tell him you don't find shallow judgmental @$$holes attractive, either.

The month before surgery I did have some "last suppers," but instead of gorging I just had my favorite things and enjoyed smaller portions. The last week (Thanksgiving week...) I did: pizz a (but had thin crust shwarma pizz a from a Greek restaurant), Chinese (easy on the rice, heavy on the spices), Cheesecake Factory (generally a crappy restaurant, but I love their Chinese Chicke n Salad), and Mexican (poblano chile relleño with carnitas and plenty of chips/salsa). And during this "feast" I still lost 3 pounds since I didn't pig out. Plus I'm a firm believer in not saying "goodbye" but rather "see you later in smaller quantities."
