I have fallen in deep and passionate love with everyone on this thread. Thank you for making me laugh tonight!

And Revs, my heart beats especially for your description of the "bilious vomitorium of defensive low-level vitriol". If you take a break, I I will miss you and sweet little dictatorial Kim Jong Eun. In fact, I ask that you consider a coup d' etat of your own. I am ready and willing to join in the revolution!

Great thread.

Revs for Prime Minister. Or President.

Or is that the two piña coladas and a gin and tonic i had tonight talking? Should I even have admitted that? Oh well, now that I am confessing, can I point out I haven't had an edamame bean, em, ever....or a Protein shake....

That's all. Over and out.

:-)

LMFAO That, just made me chortle very very loudly!

As for the drink - you deserve one (or three!). We all do! (now awaits the 'should you really be doing that? brigade)

As for your claim to no-edamameness and zero proteinshakeyness. I am in awe of you.

You take Prime Minister, I'll go for President. Couldn't do a worse job than the two current incumbents?!

Together we can rule the world :blink: x

Eek, reading that back, I have to admit that was a rather good one (by that I mean scathing) - even for me at 11pm at night!

Don't worry, if I disappear it won't be for too long. Cup of tea, painting my nails, conjugal relations...

As for a coup d'etat... Now there's a thought!

This is indeed a great thread. I'm not bored on this site [yet]. probably due to picking and choosing what I'll read. But sometimes I'll stumble upon a post so incredibly...searching for the word....inane? scary? ridiculous?...that I just shake my head and wonder why why why? This is always a post where someone is having an obvious ER-qualifying situation and they are asking the interwebz for a collective opinion. "I haven't been able to eat or drink anything for one week. Has anyone else had this happen to them?"

I have to hold myself back from typing Honey, please get off your computer and get yourself to the emergency room.

But then I recall Darwin, and I just move on to the next post.

yupper! our minds work alike. similarly, "i have lost 100 pounds but i still hate myself and my body and everything makes me miserable. does anyone else have this issue? i was really hoping losing weight would make me like myself. i dont know what to do."

ummmm... does the phrase "professional help" mean anything to you? maybe not.

Oh yes, those. Let me say this loud and clear: the day I hit goal, I will not be thinking "I hate myself/I don't recognize this body of mine/I miss being fat."

I will be running out in the street, stark naked, pointing at myself and yelling "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!", so delighted I will be.

This is the most incredibly awesome sentence I believe I have ever read. Should you allow it, I would like to put it as my Facebook status. I have many bright, witty friends who would enjoy and appreciate your effusive use of the English language. Thank you for brightening up an otherwise tedious evening. :)


'I can now extend the definition of utter tedium to the attempted supercilious, mealy-mouthed idiots who contribute little of value and originality, other than a bilious vomitorium of defensive low-level vitriol to those they are clearly jealous'.

So glad this carried on, whats that song 'what diference a day makes...'

Even more confused now, but that fecal transplant story, bloody amazin and that driving b***h, what a cow, I like to think I would have been dignified but the range of moods I have I wouldn't be that lucky, ah the horror.

And I didnt dream about ryan gosling but now ive seen the thumbnail I can live in hope sigh

Ha! Never a dull moment!

And yes, Ryan Gosling is most certainly, a thing of beauty! ;)

I agree Ryan Gosling is a jewel to look at but his ears? Abnormally small. Once you notice this, you'll always be focusing on his ears in every shot. I mean how does he find earbuds to fit?

It doesn't take long on this forum to become a Madame Rev fan.

How can we start & keep interesting conversations going? Start a book club here? Discuss movies? Funny things that happen to us during the day? Show off our pets? Tell what we're fans of? I have no idea!

Yes, we're all here originally because we had WLS but I've come to look forward to seeing posts from many of you! Wish you lived around the corner!

      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
