The tapeworms would be funny-- if it wasn't actually true. I assume some of you have heard about the mother who got mail-order tapeworm eggs from Mexico. She fed them to her teenage daughter without her daughter's knowledge. The daughter ended up in the ER complaining of abdominal cramps. While still in the ER, the daughter asked to use the bathroom... to her horror, the toilet was filled with adult tapeworms desperately trying to escape from the toilet bowl. I don't know if social services was contacted, but they should have been. Apparently, the mother was trying to save her daughter from the embarrassment of being too fat. Yeah, as if worms crawling out of your butt isn't embarrassing enough...

Don't you just love it when this forum highlights "eggs" with the intent of focusing on something healthy except it's really highlighting TAPEWORM eggs.

Yeah I saw the program on Discovery Health. That and the one where the mother decked Daddy when he didn't want her delivering and ruining the Morrocan Leather seat covers in his fancy,schamansky sportscar.

"I worked with my medical team. I eat a high Protein diet. I cut out Pasta, bread, sugar, alcohol and most other carbs pretty much permanently. I exercise at least an hour a day."

All of that is true. By the time I get to what I cut out, most people start running because the thought of cutting out all those carbs gives them the shakes.

If they ask more pointed questions, I respond with a question - "did you get laid last night?" When they looked shocked, I tell them that I view my medical issues as privately as they view their sex life. And then I change the subject. It usually ends questions.

Gosh I wished when my PCP asked me, at 72 and 6 years widowed, if I was still sexually active, I should have said, "No Doctor, are You?" Better he feels uncomfortable than remind me no one wants me THAT way?

@GreenTealael in Mr. T’s voice “ I pity the fool” some people are just down right noisy, that’s it, no explanations for them...I’m bad...I would have looked her up and down with a smirk on my face and walked away like Bye 👋🏽 Felicia Lol

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
