Moving into Non- Starch Vegetables
LipstickLady replied to mcherder's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Mmmmmm... I do guacamole, quiche with veggies, meat coked up with onions, mushrooms and peppers (think fajitas or steak and cheese), stuffed mini peppers... I don't have room for many veggies, so they are usually in my food, not as a side. -
Should I measure jello?
LipstickLady replied to GottaDoSomethin''s topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you are eating sugar free, I see no need. It's not really a solid, it turns to liquid in your body as it melts. It's no calories, so it's not big deal and it's really not going to give you any restriction. -

I appreciate your story and commend you for realizing what you were getting into and "playing the game" anyways. That said, you say he's a typical man? Uhm... no. Not so much. If this is the type of man that is typical in YOUR life, I feel for you and I say that with all sincerity. I've met very few men in my life (once past the sorority/fraternity days) that this behavior is typical of. In fact, most men I know prefer to be with one woman, in a loving partnership, having outgrown the "player" stage while in college. In fact, even when living in the sorority house, the "players" were far less common than the REAL men, those who actually had respect for the women in their lives. "Men" who act like you've described are nothing more than self centered narcissistic children, and that's OK, as long as they are not breaking any ethical codes, which I do believe is the issue here. REAL men are a whole 'nother breed. -

My doc sticks her finger in my rump every three years. I'm beginning to think she's hitting on me. -

Does anyone else snicker when someone says they are leaving/not posting again/blah blah blah but you know they just can't stay away? Snort! Oh the draaaammmmaaaaaa! -
Yes, two days. Ripped abs, flat stomach, tight ass. Ha! Planks are very effective. Try doing it 10-15 times a day working up to a total time of 15 minutes a day in position. (Total, not all at once!)

LOL - I remember watcing a woman who was clearly very comfortable in a plank checking facebook while she did. Not me - I am suffering! Were you watching me? Ha! I plank 3 minutes at a pop, but only if I am distracted with my phone. Variants are to hold your plank, step out to the side with one foot, then bring the other foot to the same side, back to middle one foot at a time and then out to the other side. 15 x per side. Or, start from the arms bent position, go up to arms straight, hold, back down to arms bent, repeat. 15 x. Start from arms straight, "walk" out with one arm about 6 inches, follow with other arm and walk back. 15 x. Lots of other additions, too. They are killer on your abs, but butt down!

Taste for food - will it come back?
LipstickLady replied to Wynnie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Linda. Girl. There is no way those nuggets were 24,500 calories (7*3500). Water retention. They were salty. Drink a lot of water, flush your system and the pounds will be gone. Next time get a grilled chicken sandwich, remove the bun and feel good about your choice. -

Yes I mean it in a positive way. We all have had a lover in our lives , it's up to us to decide which lover we want to be with. Oddly enough, I really don't care what you think. -
Can they discriminate against a serious mental illness?
LipstickLady replied to Lisa Ducharme's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's not discrimination if they find someone not stable enough to have surgery. The hormone changes, the mood swings, the possible regret and self doubt along with the stalls and gains along the way...it's a veritable pool for mental unbalance at times. -

Is it possible she was referring to the term "Latin Lover"? Uhhhmmmm. Yes. So was I. -

LipstickLady replied to *susan*'s topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
So, you are saying that people who choose not to be offended by such nonsense are looking for a "certain kind of attention"? Snort! Ok. One of my BFFs calls me a be@ner and I don't mind, does that mean I'm looking for a burrito bar, too? -

LipstickLady replied to HaddocksEyes's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
What's the big deal? I mean that not to be flip, but with all sincerity. You are willing to have half of your stomach cut out but not willing to donate a bit of poo to make sure you are healthy? I can tell you with 100% certainty that it's worth it. I'd let the doc give me the jelly finger once a week if I had to to feel as good as I do 106 pounds lighter than I was a year ago. Fo' sho'! -

I'm a Latin lover. Took four years of it in high school. -

LipstickLady replied to *susan*'s topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Again, I guess I don't look to be offended by something like this. I've been Mexican all my life and have never met anyone in my friends or family who was offended by the phrase. -

You've never heard the common phrase Latin Lover? That's not a slur by any means. -

I saw no ethnic slur and I'm Mexican. Perhaps I'm not looking to be offended. -
Seasonings are absolutely OK. I probably wouldn't use chunky fresh ground pepper because I am paranoid like that,but season away!

Why, thank you for noticing, ma'am!

Who really followed the post-op diet?
LipstickLady replied to dawnnae123's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Not only did I follow it, but I did it for a month instead of the required 2 weeks. -
Wait. He had credibility at some point? I missed that.

We are simply putting the truth out there of ONE of your victims. I have never said her name. She is hiding so much from you guys it's not even funny. So if YOU do it, it's truth. If someone exposes YOUR (factual) information, it's slander/defamation/lies/abuse/bullying/etc. Interesting. -

Yet they have no issue with publicly ousting the victims' affairs and personal life stories for their own benefit. Huh. Interesting. -

. Let me clarify something for you Travelmego, what happened to me did take place when I was there for my sleeve and not on a return visit. I did go back to Tijuana, but not it was to have another surgery, he and I were not even communicating any more. I did stay at the same hotel because it is safe, nice and close to the hospital I was using. However I was not prepared for the fact that he has keys or pass cards rather to these rooms. Imagine my surprise to walk into my room one evening only to find him there. So if you weren't talking any more, then you must have paid for your flight, pick up from the airport, hotel and never expected any other travel arrangements from him. He basically just showed up to fk you and you had no idea. Right? Answer carefully because I've got a screen shot of you telling someone that he left you at the dentist because he was busy working and that made you mad. How bizarre and creepy is it that all these people take screenshots of everything? Seriously! HA! Just so you know, when you quote someone, it's kind of exactly like taking a screen shot.... " Seriously! HA! " . . . . Bless your heart... No, sweetheart. It's letting the person to whom I'm replying know that I'm speaking to them. I'm sorry if that's confusing to you.
