Who have you had enough of ??



Recommended Posts

Yeah, I know I don't have to read everything I see, but I'm really sick of people that register here to hype up their surgeon or the facility they had surgery in or the country they had surgery in - basicically, any posts that try to "sell" new people on where to get banded & who should do the surgery. Some claim they aren't patient coordinators, but it's obvious a lot of people here receive benefit, one way or another, from sending people to their surgeon or facility. I'm really sick of people that act like they're here to give support but are really here to earn commission by luring naive new members into their webs.

BJean, I was the same way for the most part, dancing was all in fun. I was single and we would hit the bars, and have lots of fun--I danced my butt off literally, it was my exercise of choice.

Then one night in a Country bar we were in I ran into a guy from school, we had gone to school together from 4th grade to HS graduation. He ask me to dance, and my heart kinda fluttered, and as we danced I freaked out! I kept telling myself "This is Rick_____, you can't be thinking those things!" I was shocked beyond belief, it blindsided both of us!! We danced all night, we never, ever just danced willy nilly with just anyone again! We too just celebrated our anniversary earlier this month!

We still will dance, anywhere they are dancing---he still makes my heart flutter---and I don't think it is health related!!

Uh I get it green, wink nudge... you wascal!

Kat isn't that the darndest thing to learn after years of dancing with just old common fellas! I knew that guys liked very slow dancing, but I just thought it was because they got to be cheek to cheek with us and hold our hands. Little did I know it wasn't their cheeks that were enjoying the ride.

Nice to know the two of you had similar mind blowing relevations with subsequent serious link ups. Woo hoo! :bounce:

It is very curious that Catholics don't have similar taboos against dancing. As a matter of fact the Catholic schools had the best dances on the weekends. But I think it is because the priest then got to listen to all of those hot and heavy confessions about the dirty thoughts and deeds!!!!!

I met my husband back in the 70's doing the bump. Anybody remember the bump? We have been bumping heads and uglies ever since.

Oprah. She plays different rolls & takes on different personalities depending on her audience. Friday she sounded like Oprah, today she sounds like Martin Luther King (in her speech supporting Obama.) I'm not voicing a political opinion here, just that I can't trust her because I don't know who the heck she is.

Amen, I agree 100%. What is she doing???

This makes me laugh, I watched part of Oprah's speech on the news---missed it when it aired. I ask my husband..."Is she trying to be funny? She acts like she is channeling a preacher!"

Then I read this and the light went on! You nailed it, she was "doing" MLK!!!

Now this morning when I saw it again on another news report, it just cemented it-----you are SO right!

Sorry, I am a Christmas basher. I am sick of Christmas before it gets here.

Also, I do refer people to my doctor and get nothing out of it. He is quite reasonable in his price, and I can't see someone from Oregon flying to Mexico when his price is so close. Then they have to fly to Mexico to get a fill? That's just nuts to me. By the time you add in airfare, they don't save all that much and I am sure it's a lot of aggravation to fly. Going through an airport these days drives me insane and I have to go visit my dad on a regular basis. It's stressful.

Rachel Ray!!! It's her gravel gerty voice and really disgusting sounding recipes and if I hear "yum-o" one more time I think I'm going to goose a chicken.< /p>

Give me the Barefoot Contessa with her whipped cream on everything (hoo-haa) and Paula Dean with butter on everything (that's what I'm talking about!).

Oh wait a minute, now that I think of it, I'm getting pretty sick of the Contessa's bragadocious attitude and her phony laugh and Paula's overbearing accent and eye crossing/orgiastic grin when she tastes anything. Maybe I've just got to go back to HGTV and away from the food Network! :)

Paula makes me want to kill myself, or shove her pound of butter where the sun doesn't shine!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      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. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
