Oh I said that because if you are a body builder calculating bmi is a little different and takes more than just standard bmi calculations...

BUT WE ARE ALL FAT...

I'm not fat, I'm big boned B-)

Yet, if my comment should have been the last, you are still throwing out some personal attacks. ( I'm not too much into those today as I finally poo'd after 15 days. This is a day to Celebrate for me!)

For the record, I am a Martial Arts Instructor. I do the protecting in this house with my wit, personality and one hell of a roundhouse if needed. B)

Yup, I sure did. After the personal attacks kept coming in. As a Martial Arts instructor, you would not recommend someone continue taking an attack and not defend themselves, right? Sadly, we live in a high crime state, where a gun is faster. Lots of SVPs keep moving in and we have a major department of corrections up-roar right now, with our director having been murdered a few months back. I am definitely not an instructor, but have done work in both Aikido and Muay Thai for a women's self defense class to prevent violent crimes. However; home invasions are frequent and fast, usually done by 5-6 people (young disrespectful kids) and I have two daughters to protect when my husband is out of town working. Firearms are faster in the middle of the night. We've already had two burglaries (two different locations here in Colorado) despite having a Shar Pei and alarm. Here, people rob the same gas station over and over wielding a ball peen hammer! The shame in what took place here is that most people cannot pick up tone over text (just like they couldn't with your comments). As a Law student and LPC student, with a sociological and juvenile criminal justice background, I just have to call things like they are, and in school we have been taught never to assume anything, therefore I am not going to assume the gal who originally posted made a typo. (Especially since I have seen the same numbers in other posts she had made). :-D

If the "attack" is physical, heck no. If it's verbal, absolutely. "Walk away, talk away" is always the best solution. I give very little weight to how someone else feels about me, especially if that someone is a person I will never meet in "real life".

I certainly try not to stoop to someone else's level if they are throwing out personal attacks over a computer. Do I screw the pooch and act like an ass sometimes? Sure! I'm human. That said, I am also always happy to hold out an olive branch when I figure out I was just as wrong as they were because I played the same game they were. :D

It's very clear that lipsticklady was being both humorous and sarcastic. Those of you' date=' who couldn't figure that out, show your ignorance and lack of intelligence very blatantly. Though lipstick lady was probably commenting on mine and someone else’s spelling corrections, it sounds like the rest of you have far too much time on your hands. I went and took a nap, come back and see my inbox filled will idiotic replies, and you all thought I was the pain in the A**? Why don’t you look at yourselves? You try to point the finger at me that I didn’t leave it alone, yet you have all carried on like nags beating a dead horse over ill relevant topic.

By the way, this is neither England nor Australia. Isn't Australia where all the convicts were sent, from England, during the 18th and 19th century? (Not saying that's fair or that I agree with it, but if we want to go tit for tat then let's have at it.) [/quote']

Wow, that's really inappropriate. I did not know this was an AMERICAN site. I thought people from all over the world were welcome here. You are the type of American who gives Americans a bad name. And yes, white convicts were sent to Australia from England. This site is not about tit for tat but how dare you criticize Australians given the way that African Americans were treated. You sidelux06, are rude, insulting, racist and an all round arseh0le! If this comment gets me kicked off this site then it was worth it! Perhaps, and I mean perhaps, you are intelligent, but you are socially inadequate and a disgusting human being.

Dude, this is the Internet. Not all of the people on VST are in 'merica. And since it's the Internet, you can learn about the BMI, from lots of .gov websites, or you can keep making a fool of yourself.

And by the way, the convicts were only sent to Australia because the Brits had to stop sending them to Georgia after they lost the revolutionary war. While you are searching for .gov websites, find some about history.

This dude isn't a dude, she is a mature woman with kids. Bad enough when I thought it was a 23 year old stuck up male, but looking back through her posts, I feel even more disgusted.

Oh, and there were absolutely no racist comments made by my post. Especially to compare to African American slavery by neither whites nor their African counterparts (which continue’s on genocide today) nor am I “white”. I’ve already stated what I study. I learned about it through the barbaric “corrections” process that Europe once held. I commented on your English grammatical comment, not about slaves, and simply brought up how Australia was populated aside from Aborigines. You’ve got some issues. I believe you need to sit and do some reflecting. Especially to allow someone on the “internet” to get you so fired up. Oh, and I never said I was a “proud American” either. Frankly, this is the worst country I’ve seen. We have the highest violent crime rate, the highest incarceration rate, the highest use of illicit drugs, and were an economic mess. America’s the laughing stock of many other countries. I say what I mean, and I mean what I say. If you took it out of context, that is on you. I am not in control of your reactions, you are. Not my chair, not my problem.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
