Dangit!! No clit here, either!!

I need to up my protein. I can barely see mine Perhaps you are a grower not a shower.

I just noticed that this thread was bumped after 6 months of no activity and really for no reason. No one claimed in this thread that sleevers can't dump. Hmmmm.... Weird observation, I know.

Sorry. It doesn't work that way.

It totally blows my mind that any doctor would perform either procedure on someone with anorexia/bulimia, much less revise it. And revise it again? How is that possible? What would be left? Maybe he could slap a band on it, too? Blow it up with a balloon? Yikes.

No wonder men can't find the clit! It isn't on the chart! And clearly this is why @@Babbs has a sore bum.

I had a live swallow test, too. I thought most everyone did. Huh...

Tell that to my sore bum. If it's not the staples, then what is it?? Your move, know it all. Last week it was your knees that hurt. Your husband is a lucky guy.

Wait. WHUUUUT!!?? That TOTALLY explains this third leg I'm sprouting. Dang!!

Hey! I'll be back soon. Dealing with a few real life issues. Hey! I'll be back soon. Dealing with a few real life issues. You sound like you need a hug. So here's a hug. HUG!!!! XXOO

Oh dear lord!! Make it stop!!!

Ah...ok.

Wait. I'm confused. You made weight and maintained for five years? Does your ticker not reflect this? I'm having a senior moment...

I understand what you're saying, I really do, but if one doesn't WANT the dang cookie, why should one "have to learn" to eat just one? I am three years out and maintaining beautifully. Sweets don't affect me for the most part with the exception of Hershey Kisses. If I open a bag, I'm finishing them, so I don't. My life is more pleasurable avoiding certain things all together, no moderation desired. Could I learn? Probably. Do I want to do that to myself over a non-essential, unhealthy food option that I've had ten lifetimes worth of? Not really. If you want to learn, more power to you. I'm far too old and cranky to find "pleasure" in what could derail a major success I'm experiencing.

But if she knows it's a trigger food and that might ultimately cause weight gain, where is the pleasure? Should an alcoholic have an occasional recreational martini?

Ahhh...another "my way is the ONLY and BEST way" kind of thread. Seems to be a virus around here.

Yes. I am known as quite the hand holder.

Clearly I'm late to the party, and posting without reading the thread is obnoxious but I'll do it anywyas. You're wrong. I swim, I do deep water finning, water aerobics, water Zumba, water ab work and it works.

Because there are so many fat swimmers. Asswagon. Swimming is great for you. He's a fool.

I'm going to change some of your answers to mine in bold. And my beloved VSGAnn's... I'm short on words but that doesn't make me dishonest, nor do I feel the need to educate others:

I'm going to echo the above sentiments. The full feeling I used to love so much is what got me to the point of needing WLS. The feeling of being full now is very uncomfortable and something I avoid at all costs. My nose drips, my chest gets tight, it's work on my part not to vomit. Being full used to go away quickly for me and I would eat soon after a meal just to regain that feeling. Now, if I hit that full feeling, it gets more and more intense over the course of about 45 minutes. If I take even the smallest drink of Fluid, it all comes back up. So yeah, I avoid that. Three egg whites is a lot of egg. Just because you CAN eat that much doesn't mean you should.

Phew!! You had me worried for a moment. I'll forgive you.
