BJean...

Lauren and I may well break bones but damn, we'll look good jumping out of that plane skinny! wink.gif

Yes, we will! Hell, we'll have to plan to go sky-diving together in a year or so, when I hit goal (hopefully).

Well, you know... I do have my student license to fly. If we both trust me by that point and if I get my real license, I can fly and push you out of the plane! At least I have a hunch that is what it will take to get me out of that plane! HA!

Bjean, I have that kind of relationship with a few of my friends. Sadly since I've moved to the UK its been difficult for me to be very helpful to them with all the time changes. At least here in the UK it's not considered weird or satanic to do what I do. The US can be so narrow-minded about it.

I'll have to watch Moulin Rouge again, maybe it is one of those films one just doesnt get the first time around.

As per coke, I dropped weight really quickly when on it but the harm it caused was by far worse than any good it did at the time. I do know what you mean about doing anything to los weight. I'm sure I did myself endless amounts of harm using stackers all those years. It's really bad for your heart.

You guys are way cool. I don't stack up much, but here goes.

  • I show, breed & rescue Miniature Pinschers (they are my life!)
  • I would much rather be a dog mom then a real one
  • I am an Army Brat and an Air Force Wife
  • My hubby is now medically retired (he has MS, a failed Spinal fusion and RSD in his right foot)
  • I work for Michael Smalley - he is a really famous (in the religious world) speaker, author, counselor
  • I had a 10" tumor removed with an ovary which turned out to be cancerous in 2002 - thankfully removed in its entirety.
  • I have known my husband since we were 6, but were mortal enemies until we were 18 - odd how things change

I am a Brain-Eating Zombie as some here have discovered :heh:

But you are eating fewer of 'em now that you have been banded, eh?

I heard that they are rich in saturated fats.... This is not good for you, Derick.

But, uh, Bubblebutt....if you are flying the plane don't you think you should stay in it?

Not really. You see I haven't actually mastered "landing" yet. I do great take offs, stalls, turn on a quarter thing... but landing, yeah. That's not my specialty.

I don't normally post to threads like this. It always makes me feel a little awkward, like I'm bragging about myself. Hopefully it won't read that way. And I've probably already said most of this in some post or another. ;)

Things that might surprise someone…

I have no idea if this is current, but at one point I was the youngest survivor of spinal meningitis.

I have never been drunk nor high.

I am a member of the mile high club.

I had plans to be a research geneticist and pursued medical school with this intention. Then a personal & miserable experience with a professor turned me off to the experience so I left and re-enrolled as an art major. If I could change any decision in my life, that would at least tie for first choice.

I've had at least 17 broken bones. Not all at the same time.

I am as opinionated "in real life" as online, and as detached from the general public. However, I never see online attention as "real" attention, so I am more open with my opinions (repercussions also have something to do with this). In real life, I rarely offer up opinions, unless asked, because they usually bring attention and I abhor anything remotely resembling the spotlight (I'm a fully expressed introvert).

I love learning. I have 7 university degrees and am not done, even though I don’t plan to “use” them. I am an advocate for continuing education (in the literal sense). I love learning and plan to continue self-education or taking classes "for fun" as long as I'm able. Things like reading Brian Greene are “fun” for me, even if I don’t really get it, because it’s still learning and offers a challenge.

I have bought every Harry Potter book at least 10 times, but I don't think it's that good of a story. I have donated the books to local schools, shelters, and the children centers of local hospitals. This is because I will support anyone who can get millions of kids interested in reading again.

I tried to edit out the last 2 because I really don't think they would surprise anyone to know about me. But I couldn't hack the smileys or having to reformat everything. So instead, just pretend they aren't there.

Oh, Wheetsin, it is so nice to have you back!!! I haven't bothered posting anything concerning myself because I don't really think that there is anything which I could list about myself that would surprise anyone.

I was interested to read that you are a member of the mile high club; I am also a member of the club, the stunt which qualified me is ancient Green history, and now I find myself marvelling how two adult bodies could even fit into one of those horrid little aircraft washrooms let alone do anything interesting while there. :omg:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
