Just the sight of liver at the grocery store makes me a little sick.

When I was at the grocery store as a kid, I used to push on the plastic wrap covering the liver. It just felt so weird. That and the cow's tongue. I don't see that in grocery stores anymore.

They have GMO cows now that are bred to not have livers or tongues... or perhaps Mcdonalds bought them all up.

Maybe the disappeared to the "veterans" site that we're all not worthy enough to see.

You can look, but just don't touch or we will send out the veteran with the ruler to smack naughty boys and girls hands!

Mine has pigs feet. Not sure I've ever seen the tongue before tho.

Sometimes I can't keep up.

But I DO like chopped liver (and Lipstick)

And I DO miss Laura's wisdom.

Wow...You'd think they passed away or something....they are busy for now..Hold on folks and I am sure they will all be back and telling us all their wisdom in no time......They all feel a responsibility to this forum I am sure......

Relax, breath deeply and the time will fly by..Meanwhile do your part to help encourage those on here that need you too....

Helping others can cause burnout, and sometimes, when lots of other stuff is going on elsewhere, a wise helper takes a break. I work in a field where the staff really does a good job of staying on track in the face of confront, and avoiding burnout can be as little as taking a day for your self, letting someone else do the job for a while, or changing direction all together if needed. Not even saying that these peeps are burnt out... just a thought...life outside the "Pal" goes on....

I have missed Laura-Ven's no nonsense responses. I missed the "offending" post, I guess! Boo!

I'm guilty as a meat poker too. Ugh. Now I can't even touch raw meat. I blame the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies.

I always likes their wit and insight so I'm missing LV and GG. This sucks.

Still missing everyone. Hope they all return again one day & I pray all are well & having awesome success as they continue along their journeys! The site is not the same anymore & actually is quite boring. They really kept it alive on here! Best wishes to all sleevers!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
