I have the same problem. Spell check doesn't include the correct combo of muahahaha...whatever.

What you can do is put: ...insert evil laugh...

Lame? Yes.

Effective? No.

Spelled correctly? Yes.

funny you guys crack me up ...

Hey smsmithart I don't blame them. You look fine, grrl. Congratulations. If anyone deserves to act uppity, it is you.

I think there should be a thread that newbies should be required to read that explains that the longer you have the band, the meaner you get.

El Diablo, or whoever you are... I think you need to get a sense of humor. Muuaahahahahahah...

A fairy with an evil laugh. Why do I think of the movie Willow?

When I evil laugh in real life I sound like the witch from Wizard of Oz. DD will ask on occasion for me to "cackle like the witch" for her friends.

Sometimes I scare myself.

But, I think the cackle is different than the laugh...the cackle doesn't have an M or a W. Just a series of E's and H's...but again - no idea how to spell it.

I find that post banders look down their noses at us pre-banders and feel we have no valid opinions about anything.

What do you think :mad2:

LMFAO! Dan, you are hilarious!! :wink::lol::thumbup::lol::lol::lol:

aw thanks bjean ***blushing**

i dont act uppity though i talk to everyone...even the newbies..and im nice to them hell im nice to the people on here that i can not relate to at all...

i dont comment on the foods section because i eat crap and thats bad and someone else might read it and think its ok to eat crap ..then come back to me and say i followed your cheetos and fruitroll up diet and didnt loose any weight..

actually when i see a newbie say i was just banded and i had a steak and a cheeseburger 3 days post op im thinking ..was it good it? sounds great..

WHY would you eat a fruit roll up? *gag*

Now Cheetos, that's another thing... can't bring those greasy cheesy things into the house.

Hey you guys knocking my diet...fruit roll up are yummy and I buy single serving cheetos packs and snack on those..that's my idea of Portion Control. I follow calories in vs calories out rule if I use up all my calories for the day no more eating...or more working out.

      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
