Jodie_Warner06, let me ask - who exactly is "you guys"? I mean, you quote me, but then when I include myself in "you guys" you say that it doesn't necessarily refer to the person you quote. So please define for me (and perhaps us all, if anyone else is interested) who "you guys" is...

I personally believe in gay marriage (although I think my best friend would have been divorced like 3 times this past year lol!), but I dont believe that America is ready for that yet, therefore I voted against it.

I don't understand this statement at all. What does it mean for you to say "America isn't ready" for something, and doesn't that go against the point of voting? If something is voted in, it means the majority wanted it and "is ready" for it, does it not?

Okay this is not the subject here, however I will explain briefly:

When you study politics in depth, you come to realize that sometimes voters vote depending on how they think they should vote. They think that, okay its 2007 time for gay marriage. They dont think of the consequences that could arise from that. Many people are still not okay with gay marriage, but many are not voters. Your theory works if 100% of the citizens of voting age actually voted, however they do not. I believe that riots would ensue, and the safety of homosexuals in America would be at risk if gay marriage was legalized right now. I hope to see it in 10 years or so, but study politics. I look at voting patterns quite often, and then make decisions based on that when I vote. Because I study political science, its a habit of me to vote for what I believe is for the better of the country and its citizens, not necessarily whats best for my friends and I. My friends actually understand this theory...IN FACT I had atleast 3 or 4 gay friends who voted AGAINST gay marriage in the last election a couple of years ago. They felt the same way that I do. But sometimes what is best for some, is not best for all at the time that it is proposed. But it may fit more appropriately later on down the road. I really dont have time to explain in much more depth right now, I hope you get it...however it seems that no one can understand what Im saying because they only want to see what is in front of them and what is blatantly right or wrong. They dont see the grey area of certain acceptability.

You know, maybe me and Bill O'Reilly would get along?

You have no idea what the devil you are talking about. There was no gay marriage referendum's on the voting ballets. If you were/are against gay marriage then plain and simple you voted for Bush.. If gay marriage became legal there would not be riots, and more violence against LBGT community(than there is already)..what a freaking cop out to not allow two people who love each other have the same damn rights. When Inter-racial marriage became legal there wasn't any riots or violence!! If they can let ignorant people procreate than they can allow gay men, and women marry. It doesn't take away from anyone's marriage or love for their spouse. And if you agree with Billo...well that explains it all.

My grandmother use to tell me that.. A person will never know how dumb you are, until you open up your mouth and remove all doubt!!

Jodi Warner,

I don't understand why you are so outspoken considering your condition. Do you expect people to take life advice from someone that has repeatedly admitted to being suicidal and is Bi Polar. I don't want to be to harsh but being a 20 year pregnant suicidal Bi Polar girl is not a strong position to debate from. You act like you have more worldly experiences than people twice your age. The reason that I am being borderline mean to you is that you need to keep quiet. Not necessarily online in the chat group but I hope you are not ranting this idealism in person to people. You actually typed out that you hate Martin Luther King. What the hell is wrong with you Jodi. I don't need some long rambling excuse on how you justified that comment but please try to filter what those voices are saying to you.

Hey Jodie, I've got a question for you about your bipolar disorder. Do you experience more depressed cycles or manic cycles?

Hey Jodie, I've got a question for you about your bipolar disorder. Do you experience more depressed cycles or manic cycles?

My bipolarism (Im actually bi-polarish) has nothing to do with anything. IF you must know then I will tell you that Im mostly happy, about once every month or two I have a breakdown, but Ive learned to manage that now. I calm myself down and get over it. Its usually starts with depression then moves to mania. The mania is not usually yelling and screaming, its usually excessive spending. So would anyone like to stay on topic?

You are half correct. Texas State Senate passed a marriage Amendment HJR 6, then made it's way to the voters November 8, 2005..The way the Amendment(referendum) read it basically said "I AM VOTING FOR HJR 6 BECAUSE I BELIEVE MARRIAGE SHOULD ONLY BE BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN." The Governor also felt the need to sign this Amendment, even though Texas law says there was no need to...

Yes, I was wrong about what your state officials did...however, I cannot see any GAY MAN OR WOMAN voting for this, because it is set in concrete and can't be overturned unless the Federal Government make Gay Marriage LEGAL!!

So not only are you a Racist, and a liar Jodie...you are a tiny bit homophobic.. The way I see it as You doth protest to much! A person who have gay friends, black friends, and friends of any backgrounds, and such would not be as close minded as you are, nor would they deny someone equal and civil rights under the law!!

I don't need some long rambling excuse on how you justified that comment but please try to filter what those voices are saying to you.

I dont hate anyone, and never said that I did. I dont even hate the baby's father. I do not respect King as a person because he was a cheater, and I do not respect anyone that could do that to someone else. I DO recognize his impact and his importance in the civil rights movement, and Im very glad that he was here, and that I do respect about him, diligence I believe it is.

Don't tell me to keep quiet in an open discussion, whether it be vocal or typing. You are ridiculous to think that I would keep quiet after that statement anyway. If you dont like what I say, or if you just cant handle it, put me on an ignore list or something. I dont force you to read what I write. I intrigue you though, you want to know what is going to come out of me next. I am your entertainment, your little delight.

Im not suicidal, Im barely bi-polar.

And why aren't my statistics good to debate from? Im 20 (I represent a different view, a different generation), Im pregnant (I represent single mothers, and young mothers), Im bi-polarish (I prove that just because you have a mental disorder, that you are not incompetent and that your not crazy), Im female (so I can take a woman's stand). Actually Im a great candidate in a debate. I cover many different statistics in one being, so I can debate over a broader range of topics.

Please show me your degree or certification that entitles you to decide who needs to be quiet and who does not, and who can and can not debate?

If you didnt want a lengthy answer, you shouldnt have brought up so many points in your little paragraph.

And I don't give life advice, Im not near qualified to do that (although some of you believe that you are.) I have had a lot of worldly experiences.

And if you are going to address me, atleast spell my damn name correctly...thank you.

That's like being a little bit PREGNANT!! You either are, or you're not!!! They don't give medicine to people who are bi-polorish. So either you were lying then, or you are lying now... Either way this is way off topic..you've made things very easy to see to some who were blinded..but the blinders are off, now.. Good Luck! I don't think the kids dad is the only habitual liar contributed DNA.

Sorry if I intruded. I was just asking a simple question, which I thought you would be okay with since you are open about having bipolar.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
