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!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
