Just Posting - I hate Big Macs I reckon you would get more nourishment from the packaging

According to Mythbusters sugary kids' Cereal does have more nutrition than the box it comes in. Contrary to popular legend. I'm going to guess that's just as true for the Big Mac. :frown:

I have been eating badly and just lost another lb. I don't get it. I remember when I was busting my butt and complaining that I wasn't losing.

The band has got to be the best invention ever known to man/woman!

as a lab breeder (look at my avitar- my big baby) your better off getting a pet nail dremel. i've cut to the quick too many times and have had bloody reactions - the dremel lets you work the nail down slowly. it's my favorite tool....you can get a set at many pet stores or on the web for $30 or under -... it really is a great investment if you want to learn & do on your own.

Thank you! I just bought clippers and had the confidence that I could do it. :frown:

When the bleeding didn't stop I called the vet and she said put flour or cornstarch on it...never had heard of that either, but it did the trick. I wrapped her up and she was fine after that. It just freaked me out at first.

Now...I'm biting my nails to the quick because there are doughnuts here!!! I hate that they bring them in...and put them on MY desk. Why, why, why????

I will not eat one, though. Instead, I'll keep one at my desk and throw it at the person who brought them in as he walks by. A powdered one....

:frown: I like the ladies room idea!

But, unfortunately, higher powers than me want them right where they are. At least they are off to the side, so if I keep my back turned and type at a weird angle, with one eye closed then I don't see them.

I go over and close the box, though, because I can smell them.

The last time (this is a weekly thing) I almost caved. Late in the day, there were still some left and I picked up the box. On the bottom it was wet and soggy and slimy from the grease that had been sitting there.

Ugg. No thank you! I just keep that in mind when I start to cave.

I have been looking for one of those, my Lab mix (we think he is Lab, sheperd, malamute) has solid black nails and I am to scared to clip his nails so he goes to the vet to get it done.

I actually am sitting here laughing at that thought. OMG...that would be sooo great. (Maybe the last day here, before I quit!)

Actually...the place is great. The boss is the largest woman I've ever seen, and has no qualms about eating as much as she wants. She keeps saying, "I need to get back on my diet." As she's stuffing her face with the 3rd doughnut that I've seen her eat. Lord knows how much she eats in private.

I can't say anything to her, because I get the excuses..."Oh, I know...I'm just waiting until the food is gone in my house....I'm just waiting until company leaves...I'm just waiting...and waiting...and waiting."

I've been there, and I know how it is. I feel bad for her. She gets out of breath walking from her desk to mine - just to get another doughnut.

I want to scream: GET THE LAPBAND. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

This is probably one of the funniest things I've read in a very long time, especially the highlighted. :frown: :lol: :eek: :eek: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Posting just to say I really hate people who constantly contradict themselves.

One minute they hate the fact that they have a band and can only drink liquids because their band is so tight you can see the veins in their eyes. The next, they are so proud of having been on liquids and they are such a success!

One minute they boast of being a size 6, the next minute they complain that if they were to lose five more measly pounds they would look like Night of the Living Dead.

Give me a freakin’ break already.

/rant over

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
