My buddy came over the other day and the first thing he said is "Hmmmm, you look the same. After taking eight months of prep and all the hospital stuff, I figured you'd look all sickly and in agony" Ya know, that's my feelings too. I think it's all a scam. the so-called "hole-scars" are burn marks. The shakes are meds to make us feel full and gassy. Our spouses are in on it too. They put drops of that stuff to make you puke in all the food over 3 bites. They cater to you so you'll feel needy & whinny. It's just a sham. There was no surgery. Yea......that's the ticket.....you can't fool me.

Then again......maybe not.

What...what...WHAT??!?!

You may be on to something, Recycled!

I may be part of some covert government study and my group was the placebo group!

I never would have thought my mind was that powerful!

I dont want to know how they induce the butt wrenching constipation! DONT TELL ME!

Hahaha This made me laugh out loud at my desk. Newsflash to your friend - WLS is *supposed* to make you healthier looking, not sicklier, so clearly you're doing something right!

My ability (or lack thereof) to consume plain roasted chicken breast tells me otherwise....

Unless, of course, there's a global conspiracy to bring down the chicken market!

LMAO "butt wrenching" bwaa-ha-ha oh please stop, I can't take it! FUNNIEST. POST. OF. THE. YEAR. SO FAR!

I am 7 weeks post-op and I remember feeling the same in the beginning, that they really hadn't done anything except made me believe I have to eat differently. Now I am on real food and I dread eating every day. I still WANT though not crave the bad stuff but eating is a chore.

Still your post was really funny!!

Wow!
