That has to be a special kind of stupid! :lol:

Part of the reason I was overweight was that I forget to eat. I'm fairly intelligent actually.

I often work on a project and don't take time to break for meals. It's not that uncommon. It's terrible for your metabolism. I just read a thread about binge eating, which I can't even imagine a person could do or enjoy...and shockingly enough, I didn't think they were terribly stupid....which is stupider? Or are they both bad and maybe not something to question a person's intelligence over?

I am a busy mom and run with stuff to do all day, i don't get a bit hungry so sometimes I DO forget to eat. Sure doesn't make me stupid. Just makes me absent minded and not food obsessed anymore!

I should have made clear, what I meant. When you make the mistake of mentioning that you are dieting THATS when I had someone make the sometimes I forget to eat. comment. Lighten up you fat jolly people. It's called jokes and at 360 down from 460..I have had a lot to laugh about.

I think he was referring to non sleeved skinny people....but I can't be sure. People who throw it in your face that they are so naturally skinny.

But how would one know that someone is sleeved or not? :) We have to take out minds away from "fat people and skinny people" because if all goes well aren't we attempting to be the skinny one that he's making fun of? Much like the borg we will all be assimilated.....muhahahahaha

I hate it when people who don't agree with you or don't like the way you have coped with your surgery (or don't like what your surgeon said, even) have an opinion on YOUR life. people ask questions because they want honest answers to our REAL experiences. Everyone is different and ultimately it is up to the individual person to find out what works for them but don't chastise someone for having a different experience to you or your surgeon.

Saying that people are meanies is such a nice way of putting it. Let's call a spade a spade... They are assholes.

I've noticed that the recent topics on the right go by pretty quickly. If you post late at night you are less likely to get an answer. A hugely attended forum like this buries things pretty quickly.

I try to answer the ones that are dropping off the bottom if they have no response but I can't be here all the time.

I am too busy with my save the tuna campaign. :rolleyes:

I am gonna have to stop posting because I am sorry but I have a short fuse and since I just had surgery I don't think it is healthy for me and yes I was being attacked for being a new member.

      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. 💗

      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!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
