Okay; CAVEAT: I understand that everyone is at different stages of their 'journey' (that phrase actually makes me want to vomit, btw) and I understand that there are occasions when some things have to be repeated for the benefit of those who are incapable of doing word-searches, reading, have a facet of a pre-thrashed-out-topic that they want further clarification on, or are more sensitive/IT limited/have less than satisfactory medical and insurance support and perhaps want specific attention and focus to their (not wholly different to anyone else's issues, which I can understand - as I have needed this, too).. but...

Where in the holy-hell is the originality?

I swear, if someone doesn't post a discussion topic that goes beyond the almost pro-forma, I am going to have a melt-down.

This surgery goes well beyond the physicality of inches and pounds lost. It goes further than 'Did you eat 4 edamame Beans today?'. It just goes, well, further. The contributors to this site should, too.

I think its break-time for me, because I am becoming more bored than a bored thing on a bored day in a bored month.

BORED!

<rant over>

I don't think I could give up tea. I really couldn't.

WLS for giving up tea? HELL NO, I'll STAY FAT` AND UNHEALTHY, TYVM!

I had a coffee addiction that I kicked pre-op. I was never a tea drinker but now, 3 weeks post op, its a life saver. I'm having a hard time with nausea and its the only thing that helps. I've literally sat in the bathroom floor sipping tea... pathetic I know. At this point, I need it. Its probably my most reliable source of fluids (that will stay down).

I will try not to bore you with my comments. And I won't take your comment about the others personally either. But I will say one thing and hope you understand this....When I am done here I have no plans to run away when things get a little to tough to handle or I need to have a break. I plan to stick around and help some who really need to be helped. Just like others did for me.

Ouch by the way. Slap!

Thank you I know I will need advice when I have my surgery 12 may.

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.

Zoloft....Prozac

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?

I have to look now.

I was stopped at at red light earlier and the dude in the car next to me was ceremoniously picking his nose. Gross.

That's my favorite place to pick my nose.

But was he eating it.. You know you've encountered a true grotbags if they chow down on their nasal produce. But not before, of course, giving it a good coat of looking at, grading it for texture, colour, potential flavour, etc.

That's nasty. ????

According to my fitness pal... 3g per booger[/quote

That is awesome.

Perhaps I missed Boogers or Semen Flavor in my Unjury sample pack? And I thought that Chocolate Splendor was exotic...

Ewww....lol

Well there is the big one, the others I seem to have lost somewhere, they were there when I sat down, hmmm... Dusting is definitely a drag, but I just can't help it, I do a little turn and bam that end table is dusted, another little turn and darn it, how did that get knocked on the floor? Oh Yeah, my butt shelf did it!

My butt shelf, belly shelf, boob table, thigh chair......all of my ledges knock shit off of things.

If the Government reads this they will appoint a Committee and allot 4 Billion Dollars for research. Shhhhh!

Dang we better get in on this. I donate my boogers. I'll even harvest them myself for the study!
