WHEET!!!!!! You're back! Man, I've missed you! Thanks for telling us some little known Wheet facts. Fascinating!! No wonder you and I usually agree on politics and other things - you're BRILLIANT!! :clap2:

I too belong to the mile high club, Green. Well worth the effort, I'd say. But then, any sex is better than no sex, right? :eyebrows: Just kidding. There certainly is such a thing as bad sex.

Anyway, on what kind of airliner, or plane did you defile someone? Mine was a little four-seater and I made the pilot wear a blindfold. :bandit That's a joke. ;)

Glad you're back, Wheet, don't ever leave me like that again!

First of all I LOVE this thread!

OK so down to business...things you never knew you wanted to know about me...and some things I'm not sure I want to admit.

~I HATE my name.

~I met my husband at "The Late-night, Double Feature...Rocky Horror Picture Show" He had the toast and I had the news paper.

~I named my son Holden because I love "The Catcher In The Rye" by J. D. Salinger.

~I wouldn't go as far as calling myself psychic, but I have realistic dreams or visions that come true...a lot...usually involving family members and horrible car accidents.

~I live in a house that I swear is haunted...the lights flicker, the chandelier sways, I sometimes see things that aren't there, and I hear foot steps when no one is there.

~My first thoughts of suicide was at the age of 10.

~My Grandpa (the total light of my life and reason I'm still here) died in 1995

~My Dad died 3 years later in 1998 from congestive heart failure.

~My Grandma died 3 years later in 2001 from a stroke.

~My cat, Elvis (the light in my life and true friend & companion) died 3 years later in 2004 from congestive heart failure (yes I did spend $10,000.00 on a cat cardiologist).

~It is 3 years later...2007, and I'm scared...

~I was 118 happy little pounds when I got married.

~I was also a virgin (my choice).

~I don't like scary movies.

~I'm a fainter...I faint if I even think of something bloody or oozy, I fainted when I had my ears pierced.

~I have 8 piercings.

~I wanted to be a Scientist, work in a lab, wear a white coat with a pocket protecter.

~I'm a Customer Service Rep for an insurance firm....BOOORRRRINNNGGG

~I lived in Hawaii for 2 years.

~I love old VW's, I want a pea sh*t green micro-bus with plaid interior.

~I'm stubborn, willful, pigheaded, blunt, and terribly shy...not a good combo...I brood a lot.

~I am TOTALY addicted to "Harry Potter" I honestly got so upset reading book 7 I had to take 2 Xanax.

~I love dogs & cats...more than I like most people.

~I call my best friend...Ducky, and my Nephew... Toad

~My friend ran me over with her 1979 Oldsmobile...after I extracted myself from the undercarriage...I beat her with my shoe that was knocked from my body upon impact. We are no longer friends.

~I was dating her brother at the time...we are no longer friends.

~I'm Baptist...my Husband is Buddhist

~I love OLD Punk Rock music...I've seen "The Dead Milkmen" & "Mojo Nixon" perform live...Mojo signed my boob.

~Famous people I've met.. James Earl Jones (he wouldn't sign my boob), Famous Amos (the cookie dude), Fabio, "The Professor & Maryanne", "Pedro & Kip" (from Napoleon Dynamite)

~Famous people that get me hot and bothered (and I have expressed consent from DH to DO if I have the opportunity) James Earl Jones (good Lord is he hot for an old dude) Sean Connery (he's so yummmm) and Tom Hanks (yes! baby uummm I like it like that)

Well that's probably TMI, but it's me in a nut shell. Oh, wait a minute...I am the nut.

Of course I missed my ladies too! Had a surgery that went well itself, but indirectly lead to some complications that took a bit of time to get over. I'm about 80% now, and it feels great to be there.

My mile high clubination was on a 747 over the Atlantic ocean. A huge plane less than half full, as close to pitch black as the 2 or 3 overhead lights people had on would allow. Not a very risque story, but it gets the job done! It was beautiful - we could see the aurora borealis out of the window.

Wow! What a great thread. There is so much I would like to comment on, but as usual, I am up reading lap band talk when I should be sleeping.

I don't have clue what the mile high club is. Do you climb up a mile and get high? tee hee

My mom had breast cancer and was on chemo for 2 years. She got it at age 60 and died at age 82 from kidney failure. I (like a fool) take HRT and get mamagrams every year and hope for the best. I am not afraid of dying, other than I just found out my daughter is pregnant.

Other interesting or non interesting things........I am ashamed to admit I have been watching All My Children since 1970

My husband died when my kids were 3 and 6 when a crane fell on him. Oregon has a law that you can't sue your employer if you are killed on the job. They have to pay me workman's compensation until I remarry- no chance of that.

I too very much believe in ghosts and I am very into metaphysics and the para normal.

I think the longest I have ever spent reading lap band talk is 6 hours at one sitting. I read more than I post.

Other little secrets will have to remain secrets because they are just too embarrassing, and I will never know when my daughter may decide to read what I post on LBT

My mile high event took place in a washroom in a Boeing 747 on a flight from Toronto to Paris. A couple of air attendants smirked when we both exited from the toilet together. Most people were asleep.

Here is another unknown fact about me: I have a snake phobia. I cannot even look at photos of them.

Denise - The Mile High Club counts as its members only those people who have done "it" in an airplane or jet while the plane is in flight. Woo Hoo!!

me and husband have wanted to join the mile high club.. I don't even know why, I guess the rush?!

But, I found out it's a felony!! And I'm too much of a good girl, I have a clean record and couldn't bear the thought of having a felony charge for sex in a bathroom. :)

I've done it on a plane, on a train, in a car, and on a ferry, but I have never done it in an elevator. I know someone who has, however.

I hear ya. This is why I am more comfortable living downtown. I am always kind of jumpy whenever I am out in the country because I know that where ever there is nature there are also snakes. Urghhhh! :)

      Hey everyone!

      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. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      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!

      3. Doughgurl

        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. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      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. 💜
