I like cake, but nine times out of 10 I would prefer it with no icing. Just nice, chocolate cake. I also like plain donuts, like sour cream or cake donuts. Don't need or want all the fancies.

Well, NOW I don't need cake or donuts. Maybe one day.

Can you believe I'm going to some sort of chocolate function tomorrow night, put on by caterers or something? A friend has an extra ticket. Gah. :tt2:

PJTP - I was in a cpr class all day and now am officially certified!

Anyone passing out??? I can help.

Remember, the new guidelines are 15:2.... 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5......I bet it was LOADS of fun!!

As a former CPR instructor, I bet they didn't tell you when you do the Heimlich manuver, the person OFTEN vomits.....so if somebody is choking in a restaurant, point them AWAY from your table if you try and save them.

No, but in putting two and two together I figure it is the medicine making me so darn groggy lol. Usually meds don't affect me like that so it did not cross my mind. But I feel groggiest in the am right when I get to work and right after lunch. About 30 minutes after I take my meds. Duh.

Is grogginess/fatigue/dizziness a side effect of the drug you're taking?

so i guess LBT wants to be online, the only times i'm not. WTF?? it's been down more than it's been up lately.....just bitching.

donna - your car/gas story had me in hysterics...probably because i had a non graceful moment yesterday w/my truck. i'm very short & drive a hummer; DH had an extra step installed on it for me to climb into & i BIT it climbing in with a few bags....i missed the one step - hit the other & cracked my nose on the steering wheel. i have a cut on the bridge of my nose and it's a bit bruised. i look like i've been in a fight....

Lulu got beat up by a Hummer?? I knew I didn't like those things for a reason. :thumbup:

Hope you get better soon.

A good male friend of mine was out with a girlfriend many years ago. They had gotten into a car crash and she ended up with black eyes and a busted face, and he had his arm in a cast. He said whenever they walked the mall or anyplace else, they would get some funny looks. :tt2:

When I read this, I smiled. :smile:I thought, gosh, she forgot to me on that list. Remember me? The biggest Loser thread. LOL

And no I'm not stalking you, :rolleyes:like Beth thought PG was.

Considered yourself mentioned. :tt2:

PJTP: People suck.

Went to Walmart tonight to get more of my Protein Shakes that I love and saw a space that was open. A woman coming the opposite way passed it, so I was getting ready to turn into it. Then she stops, and puts on her reverse lights. I'm wondering, WTH? So we sit there for about 10 seconds, I put on my blinker to show I was heading to that spot, and she eventually moves forward and I go in.

I'm guessing it was her, but... I come back out to my car and there is a note under my wiper that says, You ought to park farther away from the store. You might lose a few pounds.

Nice.

I can only guess she thought I "stole" her spot and got pissy. People can be so...

Wow, what a biatch. I have to admit though, I've made that comment a few times myself but just to myself. I'd never stoop so low as to actually say that to somebody.

LBT is driving me nuts lately. I'm almost ready to give it up. What are they doing? Susan/Trey, do you have any insider scoop?

I "feel" you on the injury -- remember the VD day injury -- funny thing is, it looks more like a cold sore than a busted lip so people probably think it's herpes.

She was too chickenshit to say it. Or at least that's what I think, because she wrote it.

I would never write it either. Of course, if I got into a heated discussion with someone and name calling ensued, then there's no subject too taboo. As LuLu can attest being a fellow shorty, we're fiesty as hell and quicker on our feet than those big, lumbering giants.

      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
