Goal Weight: 195 Current Weight: 215 Today's Date: 11/09/2017

I had tequila a couple months out (it was fine, my tolerance has changed greatly). I drink once every 2-3 months and just avoid carbonated drinks. Keep in mind the calories if you plan to indulge and don't make a habit of it because addictions can transfer. I would advise waiting until 6 months though, purely from a wound healing perspective.

Ohhhhh, let's see: Absolutely ignoring Water intake (or any liquid that wasn't a Protein drink) Thinking Isopure drinks would taste better after surgery (they don't. At all. ) Not paying attention to my protein intake (at all) Getting liquid Vitamins with Iron (tastes like the worst parts of being a vampire) Trying to rush meals (who has time? Apparently you have to make time) Thinking food rewards wouldn't tempt me into overindulging (hello queso chips, my old friend) Getting cheap Jerky (too much sugar and too tough to digest) The list could go on and on and on.

Thank you all and yes, overeating is completely on me. When it comes down to it, it is I who decide whether or not to give into the impulse. I just hate that some @$$ feels the right to make me uncomfortable because he is entitled to my time. I don't believe he knows where I live (my Facebook has everything hidden from anyone who isn't a friend) and no, I must have missed that but I'll check it out.

@"jane13" I'm sorry, I was just being frustrated at the ridiculous encounters I was getting cornered into on Facebook. I've blocked and reported him, so it is over, it is just irritating that some individuals don't have the good sense to leave someone alone when they are asked and proceed to be completely inappropriate.

Dear Mr. Unwanted Facebook Interaction, No. I am not married. My single status, however, does not mean I wanted anything to do with you. My participation in a group of coffee lovers did not invite what turned out to be over half an hour of painfully awkward social interaction. Your complements were unwelcome and frankly made me feel deeply uncomfortable, as did your casual trash talking of the apparently deceased mother of your sixteen year old son. (A son you threw out there apparently to somehow reassure me you were a good guy.) Your use of 'sweetie' when I refused your advances was certainly unappreciated, as was your assumption that I should fall over myself to be your friend simply because you found me attractive in a single photo (the only one you could see because my profile is locked down). Thank you for reminding me why I prefer to wear large shapeless clothes and childish prints to ward off unwanted attention. Thank you for making my comfort impulse tonight be to go eat chips until I puke and weigh the value of my weight loss against the loss of my safe invisibility to creeps like you. Thank you for not backing off after I phrase 'I'm not interested' three separate times as politely as I can. Surely the forth time I would be more receptive to your ill placed attention because again, you found me attractive. And I should be flattered. And that should be all that counts. Nevermind that I am only 7ish years older than your child. Nevermind that you have no right to badger and belittle me for my lack of interest in you. Your self importance is all that matters. Your attraction. How blessed I should feel to have caught your attention.

You look amazing!

I'm 23 and I have to tell you, I was there with you on the "Really? Your fat behind can't even put the fork down and so you gotta get _surgery_??" But here is the thing. There are an infinite number of reasons we gain weight- mental, physical, and emotional. This is just a tool to help us get some control of our lives back and that's what's important. The possibility of you getting seriously messed up during surgery? Pretty low. The possibility of obesity eventually killing you after your son has to watch that slow, miserable decent into sickness and suffering? Very. Very high. It will be okay, really

8 weeks- half a shot of tequila Nope Nope No, but drinking is different now. I can see how it could be a slippery slope. Drunk faster, sober almost suddenly.

Mine is! But unlike most people, I'm kind of thrilled. My hair has always been really REALLY thick and ridiculously hot, especially for Texas.

Coughing, sneezing, blowing your nose, and hiccups are AWFUL right after surgery. (at least they were for me) And not to mention they make using you spirometer a pain.

You, my wonderful friend, are a saint and a scholar. I *need* this coffee protein ;w;
