I grew up in Las Vegas and when we would visit my grandparents in Arkansas during the summer all the people would ask: "There are schools in Las Vegas?" "What do they teach you? Gambling? How to shuffle cards and the like?" I was eight years old! Ya, that's what they teach eight year olds in Sin City. I mean, why teach us to read or write or do ANYTHING that doesn't involve gambling or being a showgirl or a prostitute!

Las Vegas has grown so much since I moved away, and has so much publicity I often wonder if people from Vegas are asked questions like this anymore.

My sister-in-law is of a nationality that alot of jokes are made from. I don't want to offend anyone on here so I will leave the nationality to your imagination.

These are a couple of things that cheered us over the years. By the way she is a certified nursing assistant. Scary to me!....

We got a reassignment (Air Force) to Clovis, New Mexico back in the 80's. When we told her she asked if we needed a passport to go there.

We bought a hot tub and it was really relaxing for us. When SIL heard that we had a pillow for our tub (they had a beautiful pool with hot tub attached) She said "We tried that once but the pillows got so heavy that it just didn't work for us." (Bed Pillows!!!) Ours of course was inflatable!

One holiday when it was our turn to host the family dinner, She came with her recipe for something and all the ingredients. Asked for a bowl, a measuring cup etc. We gave her a typical pyrex 'one cup' to use and she said no I need two thirds cup. I'll just go home and get my own. She did too. Brought over a One Third cup and filled it twice. We had told her to just use the pyrex it would work. Nope, it had to be her 1/3 cup.

These really are true! Love her to death but...Oh my!!!

Wheetsin- this is hysterical!!!

It is amazing how many complete morons there are.

BTW-did you know that the Grand Canyon was formed by Noah's ark and the current bad weather is all due to the astronauts walking around in space messing the air?

Hehehe, I cant say I've ever had anything quite that stupid said to me!

But my MIL and FIL believe everything they read. The go on weird diets or start doing strange things because they've read it makes you lose weight ony from your buttocks or that if you drink stout you have really strong toenails and stupid stuff like that. They wont use HBA for home and contents insurance because MIL once spoke to a representative of the company in 1982 who was short with her (she probably asked a stupid question) so of course that means that 24 years later she still wont speak to them.

Way back when we first sent men to the moon, (I was just a little girl - showing my age here), I had an elderly great aunt that thought it was all a big prank, that it really couldn't happen. My dad asked her why and she said they would burn up because the moon was hot like the sun. My dad tried explaining it all to her -- no it's not hot, -- it just reflects the sun, etc.. But, she never believed him. Said it was all just a joke by the T.V. people.

Being an American in Portugal, I get all kinds of silly questions like....

Do you eat any thing OTHER then hamburgers? (most people think a typical american diet is fast food every day)

Do you Celebrate Christmas over there? (duh!)

Are there ANY skinny Americans? (you know... because all Americans are fat...:confused: )

When's your baby due? (I'm not pregnant, but this I've had more times then I can count)

If you drink anything ice cold, or walk around barefoot on a cold floor, or go out with your hair wet when its cold/windy outside, you will catch a cold. (Portuguese won't drink anything cold in the winter, it has to all be room temperature)

Air conditioners cause you to get a cold if you leave it on all night. (hubby's mom would make us turn it on during the day , but wouldn't let us sleep with it on at night because we might catch a cold.)

There are some more, when I remember I'll post it.

I know an older man that believes if you drink anything cold, ever, your body has to work over time to compensate for the temp difference so that is a bad thing. However he drinks coffee extremely hot because that helps to kiss bacteria. Go figure. ~Mandy

Stupid things people say: I get tons of things everyday from Teenagers. One time a girl was telling me about a soap opera that was on tv and someone was given a lethal injection. Just then she was pardoned and some one gave her an antidote. The question was, " is that real? If so I want to get the antidote."

And then from me:

I think I found what is below the shot in the shower. Don't tell my hubby or Jack I have this pic!

Yummy!

Ok...but have you ever been the stupid one? Yeah, : raises hand : that would be me.

I was in a Department store with my then boyfriend. We were in housewares and were going to take the escalator to another floor. There was a sign next to the escalator that said "Elevator located in china".

I stood and stared and stared at that sign. And I turned to my bf and was like "what the HELL? I have to fly all the way to China to take a friggin' elevator? What???"

When he was done laughing he said "uh..china...you know....dishes?"

And to tack on to the New Mexico stories...I was raised there so had lots of encounters like ya'll describe.

The best was when I was with a friend in Kansas City. We were at a bar and were approached by a couple cute Kansas boys. She introduced me and said "she's from New Mexico." One boy leaned over to my (blond) friend and whispered "she doesn't look Mexican..." and was serious. She just laughed.

      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!
