OMG! My libertarian husband must be rubbing off on me! Oh well, it could be worse, I could be in the company of Stalin or Hitler. I like Gandhi, the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela.

Well, at least I'm in the same quadrant as George Bush! I'm surprised he's farther right than I am, but I'm not surprised he's more authoritarian than me. I tend to be very "anti-socialism, the government needs to leave me and everyone else alone" thinker. Interesting! I need to go back and look up the home page. I think the questions were pretty biased toward the Left-Wing-Intellectual-Indoctrination-Education I got at University. That's just me, I'm a rebel. LOL a conservative rebel? hehe

I keep looking at this! Gerhard Schroder is the closest dot to mine on the webpage. Who is he? Am I Neo-Com? I hate being pegged, but Conservative in just about any arena (social, economic, religious, etc.) is almost always a correct name for my views.

I'm really out of my league with most of this info. This is stuff that's mostly over my head...I'll admit it!...but totally interesting!

Am I the only upper right quadrant here?!

I, too am hanging with Nelson Mandela and The Dalai Lama - I'm not surprised - but I do know that after gaining some new knowledge and insight from returning to college as an older adult - it changed my way of thinking.

Economic Left/Right -7.75

Social Libertarian/Authoritarian -5.08

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
