Oh! Tell me all the juicy details!

Dude. It's more than the freaking ride (although that is GREAT). No chub rub, no huff and puff, no mini freak-outs at the bottom of 8 flights of steps wondering if I'd make it while carrying a big ass tube, no praying for a long line so I could catch my breath... The rides were great fun, the normalcy was better.

I am over two years out and I eat every 2-3 hours. I can't eat more than 2-3 ounces at a time, so the frequency and the amount still equal out to less than two "normal" meals.

So what's your real diet, @ ?

I was worried about this, too. Twenty some years of WWs trained me to drink drink drink before, during and after meals to get full faster. Now, I can drink right up to a meal, and I can MAYBE take a small sip during (think thimble - full), but I can't actually drink a full mouthful for about 30-60 minutes after a meal or I will puke. Even if I eat really slow, chew really well, and eat only 2-3 ounces total, drinking is not an option. It sometimes sucks when I'm eating something super spicy but other than that, it's not a big deal. I use sauces to add moisture, but I no longer NEED the drinks. I'd much rather be thin and healthy.

a " bad asian" troll site is one that spams you with extremely poor quality goods under the guise of something else. It is widely known and as an IT person I deal with them every day. I dont know why you think that is somehow offensive, the word asian is the correct way to describe something or someone from asia. I assumed he was banned since you cannot even click on his account to view it. I assumed that meant he was no longer here. I said outside the country and non english speaker due to his use of really bad english, not just grammar or typing, but actual word choices. I use an email filter that filters spam based on word usages in my job, and that post came up with red flags as an advertisement post based on typical word usage. I love the way you continue to question everything I do, even though I do nothing but extol how wonderful an inspiration you have been to many people on here. Please stop decrying everything i do. If you have a problem with me personally, then say so and ignore me. Yeesh! Dramatic much? I found your words borderline slanderous and offensive. I would have said so if you were my BFF, my kid or (ding!! ding!! ding!!)some stranger I've never met on the internet. I find some of your statements quoted above absurd and quite objectionable and I won't apologize for saying so. In turn, if you find MY posts objectionable or offensive, feel free to block me. I pinky promise not to take it personally. Look, i think its great that you dont like me. I will take the high ground. The fact is i never insulted the person, especially as i do not believe there is an actual person there to insult. . Look at the evidence, this account lists a surgical date, and yet states they are against surgery. They are anti United States based on statements made, which is another clue they are outside the US. He has no picture, no profile information nor any of the other things that would denote someone coming here for the reason most of us do. You are unwilling to say someone is a troll or spammer based on how much internet industry experience?? Oh thats right, none. The fact that I am an IT professional who has to weed these posts out on a daily basis, evidently makes me racist. I think not. On a separate note, Being the valedictorian in my college class as a paralegal, i can say you have no idea what slander is. You bordered more on slander by implying that I am a racist towards asians. I do not mince words, and to say that there are thousands of bad asian marketing spam sites is not disparaging on people it is a simple fact. I think you need to look at yourself and ask one question, did you go after me because it was me? or because i told you that i use a very an industry common spam filter that identified the user as a non english using web spammer? The truth is the truth, whether you like it or not. Have a nice day, I will not let you nor anyone, derail my journey. Uhhhh... OK.

I.LOVE.YOU. Really. You go girl!!! You will ROCK this. No doubt.

I'd totally give that trait away if I could. As for the cheese, I need it. Poop soup is my specialty. Here's one for you.... Did you hear about the constipated mathematician? . . . . . . . . . . . . He worked it out with a pencil. . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . A number 2 pencil. :D

I am the queen of three way calls.

Happens to me, too. As soon as my nose feels a bit juicy, I stop eating. One or two more bites and I will puke, for sure.

@@KnowUrWorth Your username says it all. You are worth this. He will either figure it out and hop on board or he won't. Either way, not your problem. Your quality of life and the life you can give your children is more important than anything.

Yup. It's tough. I fight this battle with myself all the time. It's no one's "fault" but my own. I can eat or I can drink but I cannot to both. That makes events like Water parks, theme parks, mud runs, fitness camps, etc. difficult and frustrating. I went to a four day martial arts camp and we had about an hour for meals. We had little time for hydrating during camp and it was one of the most difficult things I have had to do post op. I have finally learned that I will always have a water bottle with me and drink at every possible moment or suffer the consequences silently. It's my problem 100% and when I am not prepared, it's no one's "fault" but my own. Doesn't make it easier, though.

No, that's not it at all, unfortunately. Cream based soups and rich ice cream make me dump. I am pooping and puking within 15 minutes of either, complete with nasty sweats and an overall horrible feeling.

I prefer softer cheeses lately, but I like the full flavor of horseradish cheddar, truffle gouda, extra hot pepper jack, etc. Ice cream and cream based Soups run right through me and make me feel like crap but real cheese does not. Weird.

No. They know better.

And for the record, I would stand up for ANYONE who was being ridiculed or accused of anything based on their grammar, word usage or country of origin, @@Stevehud included.

This is my start/6 months/1 year photo. I am about 5 pounds lighter than the picture on the right now and more fit. This is me and my kids at our second mud run, something I never would have done post-op. I was about 5 months post op here. Here is our latest mud run. I went from a tight size 20 to a comfy size 8. I have a short, muscular build like my dad, and it wouldn't hurt to have a thigh lift and arm plastics (bat wings!) as well as a boob lift, but college for my kids is more important. I look damn good in clothes and my husband is complaining when I take them off. And my latest accomplishment, earning my second degree black belt and certified instructor license.

Not me! I need a scale that says "Get off, fat ass!!", "Go walk a few miles and then come back and visit me.", "Put the Oreos down, fatty!". Seriously. I don't work well with enablement.

I'd suggest a stool softener and Miralax. It disolves in water and should keep you regular.

Look at those BOOBS!! (Someone had to say it.)

My (least %&^%*&) favorite thing about my WII fit was when it would have you get on the platform to help you track your weight and activity and it would literally say "OOOOOOF" when i stepped on. B!tch.

Why in the world did you think it was a good idea to buy a scale that talked!?!?! :thud: I figured out that mine showed the last person who used it's weight when I stepped on it for a brief second before displaying my own and I almost threw it out the window. JEEZUS!!

You know it's funny, chicken is really filling for me. Especially breast. Must be because it's denser. I know mine are Chicken breast is fills me up the most, too. I used to hate thighs but they are becoming more appealing since chicken breast just THUNKS in my belly. Add a whole'lotta mayo to it, though, and I can eat it. **Warning. Do not mayo your own boobs.**
