The most positive post on this site



Recommended Posts

I am grateful to all of you.

Started reading this site January 2014 and made the decision after reading all the complications first, that the positive outweighed those negatives

I want to thank everyone who came before me and posted for doing so

Great thread idea. Thanks, @@bobbyswife, for starting it.

Too many names to thank. But Alex deserves prime thanks for the site. :)

@@LipstickLady ... thank you. And yes, I do grok you. :)

I also miss @@Madam Reverie -- where are you, Madam?

I always read posts by @@Kindle and @@CowgirlJane .

Thanks to all who take the time to post here. Doesn't matter whether we agree or have the same experience. What matters is that we share our perspective. Life and WLS ... it's a collective dealio. :)

Gobble, gobble!

Aw, geez, thanks. I'm a fan of your posts, too. Lots of times I don't even have to respond because your replies echo what I would say. All I've gotta do is "like" yours and move on!

I have been posting in a thread I started last month looking for people to connect with who were having surgery this month. I saw this post and jumped in. What A great Idea.

@@LipstickLady posted some really thought provoking comments on why we choose not to share all of this with everyone. Thanks for your insight.

Let's see, most of these people are from that other thread, but I want to "high five" some of my new friends.....

@NewJeffery, for telling it like it is and making me laugh,

@ ready2B for just being so sweet and always keeping a positive attitude

@@time4change, who has been a wonderful supportive new friend who communicates with me through the messaging feature. We've gotten to know so much about each other, and her support is a blessing.

Of course there's Jonathon Blue, who inspires me everyday!!! If you haven't taken the time to check out his blog page, do it. His sight is amazing!!

I know I didn't mention everyone I've met and shared comments with. It's too hard to recall everyone's screen name to do that......especially at my age ( :wacko: )

We are all blessed to have found this site. It's the best out there from what I can tell, and traveling this path with all of you makes it so meaningful, and fun too.

hugs,

Deb

I am definitely thankful for @@SuzeMuze who has generously given of her time and information to everyone on this site. She has also begun working on my blog as a guest blogger to begin talking about women's issues in weight loss and bariatric surgery. I am so thankful for her help and willingness to be open and honest about her experiences.

Aww, thanks Jonathan- I'm thankful for you too for giving me this creative opportunity :)

Great topic!

I wouldn't have made it to maintenance without the guidance, sarcasm, and no bs of Laura-Ven. This site hasn't been the same since she left.

@ and @@LipstickLady can always be counted on to tell it like it is.

@@CowgirlJane was a huge influence on my decision to go to Dr. Sauceda.< /p>

@@Fiddleman and @@Butterthebean could always be counted on for their fitness words of wisdom.

So many other vets that aren't around at all or as much... @@feedyoureye, @@gamergirl, @@CLK, @@Georgia. I know I'm forgetting some. I appreciate all the vets for sticking around and offering their words of wisdom and all the newbies for injecting new energy.

As I told a co worker this week ( I had bought something for her, shemwas to pay me on payday, but realized a few days later she wouldn't have the money , so I told her to keep it and pay it forward in the spring when her finances improve )

Too many too mention! I'm so very thankful and honored to be a part of the family. That is what a family does, it listens and supports, helps and gives a shoulder. :)

So the common theme on me is that I just throw out whatever I'm thinking. Hmmm... I "blame" the brain tumor. They must have removed my filter when they took out the lemon growing in my head. HA!

I am OH SO THANKFUL for all of you who understand that I speak my mind with the best of intentions (usually -- sometimes the sarcasm pops out) and love me anyways. I love you back.

:blush: :blush: :blush: :blush:

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
