LOL it's hard to explain what grits are but it's kind of like an oatmeal consistency but it's made with ground corn. They taste delicious!! And yes, hot grits on a man will definitely teach him a lesson! :-)

OMG, GG

It never occured to me that sisters in another part of the world may not know what grits are. Grits are finely ground corn. They are prepared by boiling until they reach the desired texture. Some people like them soft (spoon grits) while others prefer a firmer texture (fork grits). In Europe, polenta, the Italian dish, is actually what we call grits.

BTW, I visited London a few years ago and loved it! Can't wait to come back!

Sorry Yettia to wade in on your business cause I am not from your region orginally but somebody had to help this sister! So I took it upon myself, born and raised in SOUTH central Los Angeles, to do so.

See ya later!

Hello ya'll:

I had no idea that they had a WLS group for women of color on here. I was bored outta my mind and surfing around on this board when I found it.

Hell. to. the. yeah. Is all i have to say.

I love this ENTIRE board, but I love seeing women of color on here. Cuz I was told fiftyseven'leven times that black women "don't get wls". "we are made to be thick" " why you wanna look like the women in cosmo" blah blah blah.

Don't get me wrong. I love me. But I want to be a healthy me. I have no desire to look like the women of Cosmo. I would have a fit if I woke up one morning and realized that the T&A fairy had come and repossessed all of my goodies!! I want to have some curves. I have no desire to look like a Newport cigarette.

Anyway, I am originally from central Florida. However, I have been living in south Georgia for the last year and a half becasue my job relocated me.

Nice to meet everyone. Please feel free to drop me a line anytime.

take care.

PS. Should we be called THICK G.R.I.T.S ?? ;):tongue2:

Hey Brina, glad you found the group. I don't want to be skinny either I love having curves, just not rolls :smile: I'd probably like to be a size 10 12 or 14 i'm not sure because i don't know what they look like on me. As far as the, "black women "don't get wls". "we are made to be thick"" I have never heard that one, my sister has already had the gastric bypass. Plus there is a difference between fat and thick. I wanna join the thick crew :scared2:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
