Don't turn me into a spelling stalker that follows you around and checks all your posts :)

Gosh, you would DO that for ME??? That would be sooo helpful. Thanks!

(Oh, while you're at it, will ya grab those typos & redline the grammar for me? I've noticed a real dive in my composition proficiency lately.)

As long as the current topic is spelling, Dawg:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=lonliness

No entry found for lonliness.

Did you mean loneliness?

Oh Lord, do you have nothing better to do with your life??

I shall change it immediately. My God in Heaven, the world is about to end because I made a typo. Head for the hills!

If this place is just going to become some critical anal retentive spelling and grammar competition (even for the sake of comedy) we won't ever be able to discuss anything.

I just thought if you were going to check all of Kare's posts, you might want to start with your sig line, which shows up everytime you post - not a random error that is occasionally made, but something that is repeated over and over and over and over....

Actually, I thought I've shown great restraint in not pointing out weeks ago... lol

*sighs* Why must we keep on picking at things like this? Kare is the one who started this crap about spelling (on a different thread) and then she brought it up again here in this thread with her huge bolded dictionary stuff. Let it go. They were, I believe, just playing around about it at this point.

How fricking petty can you get?

I could dissect your post here and point out a whole slew of errors. I think though its time to let this crap go.

I didn't start this whole ludicrous spelling crap, but I am now finishing my involvement in it.

If anyone wishes to carry on this extremely pointless discussion, feel free to do so without me.

I can't quite figure out why people have selected this to beat on me with. I suppose its an attempt to make me look stupid.

I can look stupid all by myself, I don't need help with it. Thanks.

Ya know...

I really thought all this was in fun. I really thought Dawg's threat to spell check all of Kare's posts was all in fun.

I really am confused. I am not trying to PICK at anyone. I thought I was joining in on a little fun.

If I had a word misspelled in my sig line I would appreciate someone pointing it out to me - particularly if I was joking about policing someone else's spelling.

I thought it was all a joke. I thought we were having fun.

I do not understand how so many threads lately have turned from "fun" to personal, or who gets to decide when the fun is over.

I can't play by the rules if I don't know what they are. And if the rules are arbitrary, then how can anyone hope to follow them?

I am disappointed, too. Never have I been accused of being petty on this board. Or picky. NEVER.

So I apologize.

And I'm thinking maybe Kelly and Doc are just a little smarter than me, as the revelation has come to them sooner. Perhaps this is no longer the right board for me, either.

discouraging to a pre-op bander.

i thought the point of the band is to reduce our interest in food, thus allowing us to avoid high calorie foods like cookie dough, or to at least enjoy them in severely limited portions.

if the band doesn't accomplish that, what's the point of it?

sounds like we're back to the old diets we all failed at.

what am i missing?

Okay so if this was all in fun, then I apologise. I haven't been taking Kare's comments as "fun" either. I was giving her a smartass reply for pursuing this rediculous crap in what I assume is some kind of an attempt to make me look like a retard.

So I accept your apology Donali.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
