Name one thing people would be surprised to know about you



Recommended Posts

I am not sure where you are in Oregon but we have Western Rattlesnakes around where I live and to my knowledge they are all over the state. I have been bit by one once. That was REALLY bad but contrary to popular knowledge they are not deadly with one bite to full grown adults. Older people and young children can die from a single bite though.

I am on the coast, about 100 miles north of California. Are there

snakes here?

Where are you in Oregon????

I lost 80 lbs putting myself on a 10g fat/day diet and exercising 6x week. At the time, that was all I had to lose. Then I gained back like 200 lbs. $^#&% diets.

Green - all throughout my childhood, and up until about 3 years ago when our last one died, I had snakes as pets. Pythons. I think they're awesome. I can truly look at a snake and think, "Awww, it's so cute!!" I don't ever plan to have another, but still like to "visit" them at the local herp stores. A plus - there's no way I could have snakes as pets, and be afraid its food, so I also have no problems with rodents, big or small. The only time they've alarmed me was when I was brining home feeder rats, and one escaped and crawled up my pant leg while I was driving down the interstate. Any time anything crawls up my pants, and I haven't at least been bought dinner, alarms are going off.

In addition to little people, I am sincerely creeped out by the sound of joints popping. Like when people crack their knuckles, or backs, I want to stab them in the face. I can't stand it. It is to me what nails on the chalkboard are to others. It gives me goosebumps and makes me feel nauseous.

If your on the coast you won't have to worry as much since there will be a lot less of them due to weather conditions.

I live in the Medford area

When my husband and I were in the dating stage, we went to Disney World in Florida. We got a little "freaky" on one of the rides. Hey it was dark and there wasn't anybody in any of the cars near us. A few years ago, we read somewhere that there are hidden camera's on the rides. Imagine our surprise!!! Jenn

Finally, another snake lover! My family thinks I'm nuts. I don't have much interest in owning them, though. I prefer cuddly animals, like cats. I had a baby black rat snake for a little while, but my cats were giving it a complex. They liked to sit outside its container and bat at the plastic, so I set it loose.

Monkeys completely freak me out. I don't get the appeal of them. Nasty, mean, disgusting animals. I mean, I can understand wanting to study them, in science, but owning one as a pet? You HAVE to be kidding.

      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! 😞
