I hate it when people post just to post.....

....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

  • I'm having a very hard time understanding why three out of four guinea pigs have the first letter of their name capitalized, but the fourth one (cuddles), has the first letter of its name in lower cas

  • well, i respectfully disagree. I don't think its acceptable to do it. I strongly dont think that its ok to do it, and i do not think that someone who's doctor didnt tell them about PB's who comes here

One of my cousins used to get out the mayo jar and a spoon and just go to town. I like mayo....but not that much.

:)

1 tbsp has 90 calories, of which 90 calories are fat.

If it knows everthing we will say its a female band.:bounce:

If it THINKS it knows everything we will say its a male band.:whoo:

I had my surgery today and was hungry because I had to fast. We stopped at KFC on the way home. My doctor said I couldn't eat solids but they went down just fine. Did anybody's doctor tell them that they couldn't eat solids but they really could with no pain or anything. Do you think my doctor knows what she is talking about?:eyebrows:

My Dad made it for her. He was soooo good at word working. He made the coolest things.

He was going to burn her name in it but I didn't want him to. I mean... she's not gonna last forever and I don't want to name every dog I get in the future "Alex". :)

Now that is cute. And so cool to remember your dad when you baby is snoozing in it.

Nope, she is obviously a quack.

I think you should go back and eat some more.

Now, this is not fair!!! Y'all are hurting my port site, I was just banded on the first and I will now never forgive you. I am LOL too hard and I think my stitches are going to pop and I will have to see my doctor tomorrow . . .

I heard if you laugh while you have a port it will pop out like the red thing on a turkey when it's done.

Does that mean you are done losing weight when the red thing pops out?

I wouldn't laugh too hard, it might pop out before you are done.

That's it . . . I need a ride now, I can't even drive there by myself! I think I see the red thing, ooohhhhh nooooooooooo!!!

Maybe you shouldn't breathe very much. My sister's friend's husband's boss said that if you breathe a lot when the red thing comes out your lungs help to push it out some more.

I'd take GasX if I was you. That should help.

Sure hope you are done.

Maybe she should go pee... And stop at KFC and eat the buffet on the way to the doctor!

I was reading that KFC post and getting really angry before I remembered what thread I was reading.:heh:

Hi Everyone!

I am just about rolling off the couch reading all of these crazy posts! I can't breathe! LOL :) Thanks so much for the entertainment!

My laughter was tempered somewhat by some of the messages I've come across this evening on multiple threads I visited. They are actually discouraging me from participating on this site any more. Multiple personalities? Aliases? Following people from site to site just to be mean? Who has the time to do things like this? I am totally creeped out! :)

I guess I'm very naive, but I thought we were all here to support one another in our quest to become healthier...not to tear one another down just because we are not all identical. I for one am grateful that I can interact with all kinds of people because I can learn a lot. Those of you who are fussing at one another are just beating a dead horse..just quit communicating with one another and give the rest of us who are trying to be positive a break! :deadhorse: I feel like I'm on the school yard with my third graders again...OMG! Traumatic flashback time! "Do I have to call your parents or are all of you going to behave starting right now?" :)

Enough of my soapbox ranting. Time to get back to the topic du jour...I have to say that the funniest question I've seen so far is: "Is licking a chicken McNugget considered cheating on the post-banding diet?"

I read that one when I had just been banded. It hurt SO bad to laugh! I thought my band was going to POP right back out! My son wanted to know what demented soul would actually want to lick a McNugget on purpose! Of course, he's a 6'4" teen who eats everything he can get his hands on. Although he did break his jaw once, so he ought to know what it's like not to be able to eat solid food... :D

I'll close with this urgent statement:

I like kumquats! :faint: Sorry, I just couldn't resist! :)

People do some weird things. When I went for my first post-op visit, my doc told me I had lost weight and yay, way to go. I told him it seems to be very hard to NOT lose weight if you are only drinking things. That's when he told me he had a patient that drank an entire bowl of gravy! Ewwww

But then again, I'm not a big one to talk. Towards the end of my mushie stage, I took a small piece of steak and threw it in the Magic Bullet with reduced sodium soy sauce. Ate like two tablespoons and was satisfied with it.

My brother used to eat corn and ketchup. Blah....

Oh yeah...my random post....

There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra today than on Alzheimer's research. This means that by 2040, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.

:faint:
