Oh guys, you make me blush! :blush:

I am thoroughly touched that you think the inner rantings/musings of my mind are worthy of your attention and subsequently bring you a form of entertainment. I just think I'm an overly verbose bombastic mad person. :blink:

I am, sincerely, humbled.

Tell you what. If things get a bit dull, one or all of you, nominate a global issue - could be entertainment, could be WLS, could be politics - could be anything. Give me a subject and I shall produce my own bilious vomitorium. Just for you.

I think, taking the lead from @ Mrs.RRN 's suggestion, it should be placed between the Rants and Raves section and the subject of 'Constipation' in the Post Operative Gastric Sleeve Forum. :blink:

I think us newbies should stick to our post op questions and sleeve discussions and the more advanced members should maybe stay with the posts of the people that have been here a long time and have already gotten close to their goal weight....... Us newbies (if you all can remember) have a million questions about what we are going through at each stage of the game and it's helpful to find someone you can relate to. We don't come here to have interesting reading. Get a good book if that is what you want. Us newbies are crying for support...... being Pedant is not helping anyone....

@Iambeautiful

Dude! Darling! I'm not belittling people who need information.

Please carefully read the caveat I wrote at the start of this thread.

Before i cry. And tear my hair out. And flagellate myself. And eat chocolate (which makes me sick, incidentally)

And as you posted your follow up, before I could post this... There is no need to be like that. Sincerely. Go back to the start, absorb the tempo and timbre of the thread (and find the correlation with how everyone on this thread responds to newbies) and you'll understand that you're so far off base, you might as well be in Mogadishu.

Don't bring this here. Its not welcome and its not warranted.

My rant today, I'm a newbie well not actually true as I'm sat in the airport waiting to be a newbie and I love these threads. I've read everything twice but who doesn't love a rant.

Remember another day and another hour you could feel the love, it was just on this particular day the thread bearer had a Protein meltdown and rather than make sour lemonade she made a... well not actually sure what this would be called but I like it lol.

Secondly parisshel I could batter u, fancy telling me that Ryan gosling has big ears, I'm too scared to look at the thumbnail president rev sent me. Though does the saying about big feet equate to big ears in which case I would hug u as you've given me a new happy thought as they put me under, well I know what my kids look.

The ABSOLUTE best of luck, darling. Hope your surgery is without incident and your recovery pain free.

We'll all be waiting for you on the losers bench.

You got this, honey! xxx

Her name is Anastasia and I have had her since she was about a week old. She was not being fed and in a crowded 20 gallon tank with about 20 other iguanas. She had a Calcium deficiency that caused her to be paralyzed for the first seven months of her life I syringe fed her Gerber baby food. She is 3 years old now and a spoiled ass lizard. She once was a nice little iglet but now has become a Diva. If she doesn't like something, she throws her food all over her cage. She has been a costly investment but never the less she is my baby with igatude and all.

LOL well I have handled her every day for three years. She is tame and is good most of the time until she has to go to the vets. Then the wild child in her comes out.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
