Funny Mexico Story - not weight loss related



Recommended Posts

Many years ago I lived in Australia and was madly trying to get a flight to England last minute for Christmas. This was pre-internet days - only flight I could get went via the States.

I had a few days in LA so I booked myself on a shopping day trip to TJ

So there I was in TJ in a department store buying one of my favorite perfumes. The sales girl spoke no English and to my shame I spoke no Spanish. As she wrapped my perfume she proceeded to speak a few sentences to me that seemed to end in a question with the word "Dynasty" - well I was clueless so I nodded and smiled. She turned around and walked away, then came back with this huge box containing a large dinner set !! - for some inexplicable reason, the store was giving away large dinner sets with certain perfumes. I couldn't hurt her feelings so I took it !! - can you imagine the looks on the faces of my fellow day tour travelers as I lumbered back to the coach with my perfume and dinner set !!

I actually took that dinner set with me to England the next day - my mother thought I had lost my marbles but I ended up using it for several years !!

I'm back in TJ October 5th for surgery, and no, I will not be bringing a "Dynasty" home with me !

Heck yes! I would love a free dining set with purchase of a perfume! I didn't even think about this, but I bet I can get my favorite perfume cheaper in TJ - and I'm almost out! Maybe I'll hold out until November and cross my fingers for some free dishes! lol

      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! 😞
