Okay so I just found out something I think is GREAT! I'm sure people know exactly what I'm talking about and have just been keeping it quiet!! Just kidding y'all!

Really who knew about this craigslist !!!!

I had never heard of it before!

Free stuff! OMG! (Oh My Gorsh!)

Pets, stuff for sale!

I was thinking of the personal ads...they post stuff like "I'm just looking for someone to make out with." Or replace "make out" with something a little more saucy. :)

Check out the freecycle sites as well. It's basically well meaning people who have items which still have a useful life but no use. I have seen cars and computers and above ground pools given away. Mostly its smaller items like books and baby clothes, but it cant hurt.

I joined the local freecycle with the intention of avoiding a garage sale -- lots of nice stuff to get rid of, but garage sales aren't my thing, so it was either find a home for it, or trash it.

I became so disgusted with the site that I quit after about 4 days. Hopefully other regions have better membership than we did. I posted a 3 year old Toshiba Satellite laptop that still worked as good as the day I bought it. I just didn't need it since I got a new one and DH had a better one. Every single response was like, "Can you post the specs so I know if it's good enough? I already have a computer but I'll take it for free!" or, "Would you upgrade XYZ for me before I take it?", or "What else comes with it? Do you have a desk or bag or anything? Software?" That kind of behavior sickened me. It's like -- come on, it's free, what do you want?? DH posted 3 suits, all of which originally cost over $600. One cost over $1k. He's outgrown them *ahem*, and has purchaed new ones in a a larger size, so he figured there might be someone out there needing them for a job interview, or just to have on hand in case of emergency. He was asked, "Will you pay to have them tailored to fit me? I want them but not if I have to pay to make them fit."

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

      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! 😞
