  5. Yep. Shutting off all the notifications helps. LL was correct. Just needed a break, and that seemed to help. Hope all are well!

  6. Damn straight! I'm a man and a Spartan. Spartans Will! Go Green! Haha. Go White! Sparty on! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Here's some drama....GO BLUE Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Damn you all!!!! I get THIS notification and it drug me back in! Nooooooo Go Blue. Nooooooo Go Bucks Damnit. I'm a Wildcat, married to a Sparty who has given birth to a Hawkeye. God KNOWS where the other two will end up?!? Just better not be MICHIGAN, NOTRE DAME or THE OHIO STATE I can deal with the rest of them... ( yes, I know ND is not B10, but my pure, unadulterated hatred for anything those hypocrites do made me include them.... Bunch of entitled, upper middle class white folks cheering for a French-named school with and Irish mascot and a team mostly played by Southern Baptists. Hypocrites.) Rant over. Headed back to my BP hiatus. Wait. Need to call @@Dub out on that comment about things, A$$ and privilege? Be well all!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  7. Me too. I mean REALLY bad. Since the mid 80's. (I LOVED TAB!!!) It was the thing I would end up having the hardest time reconciling myself to- being without it. And then the moment! We have a SodaStream at home, and one of the flavors is Diet Coke. It's just the syrup. When trying to "get off" the Diet Coke habit, I would take a glass of cold Water, add in a little bit of the syrup, and voila! Had a Diet Coke taste fix! Eventually, I weaned it down to a few drops until it was pointless to even put it in there. But it helped. A lot. I will- on occasion- have a Diet Coke. Can't consume a lot, maybe 4-5 sips, but it's a treat, and I consider it as such. For me? Better than justifying a few bites of cake or some other ridiculous carbs.

    I'm out....

    Well all, it's been fun. I'm sitting here realizing that my notifications keep going off on topics I personally have started, replied to, or have followed. And don't get me wrong- I've enjoyed "most" of them. But, I'm finding that I personally am spending way too much time reading, posting, or replying to things, instead of getting things done here- in real life- which is kinda ridiculous. I'll pop in from time to time to see "what's up", and there are several of you on the FB group I started and am still active in. I wish you all the BEST success and a healthy journey! You've got this! Just follow your plan, make good choices, and enjoy your new life and lease on it. Hugs to all, Lisa PS - @@LipstickLady can direct you to the FB group, if needed.

  14. LOL. I lost 102 lbs in the first 4 months. But just for the record, I did it being 99.99% compliant with my doctors instructions (ok, so I did have a couple of potatoes chips once or twice). I wouldn't consider it a "prisoner of war" diet. But your comment did make me laugh.I have lost almost 100 pounds during my six-month pre-op diet. I haven't even had the surgery yet. It is Wednesday. I have certainly not been on any "prisoner of war" diet, but I have been incredibly focused on my journey, re-establishing my relationship with food, and improving my health. I, too, read of these insane posts where people can't even work to improve their situation for a few hours, let alone long term. But it is what it is, so I never comment. This surgery next week is a tool that will help me continue my journey, but it isn't the whole journey. I am DAMN proud of what I have accomplished, and I just because the loss has been swift doesn't mean that it is unhealthy. You are a man, you lost 100 lbs it in 6 months, that is only 16 pounds a month, or barely over 4% a month (which is a normal amount to lose, people lose that on dietbet) , you started at almost 400 lbs, super morbidly obese. That isn't the same as a middle aged 5'2 female going from 250 to 150 in 4 or 5 months post-op after not eating anything at all but Water and crystal light for weeks. So my comments stand, they don't apply to you, and you didn't even bother applying any kind of critical thinking to what I said before jumping in to defend yourself when it didn't even apply to you. If you really even comprehended what I said in the first place you would have never commented. Atleast @ could use that Big 10 Education (Go Illini) to know it isn't about him. Congrats on your weight loss so far. Illini are you??? We shall keep the Big 10 rolling--- me- NU Husband- MSU Oldest son -Iowa So, go B10! Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  15. LOL. I lost 102 lbs in the first 4 months. But just for the record, I did it being 99.99% compliant with my doctors instructions (ok, so I did have a couple of potatoes chips once or twice). I wouldn't consider it a "prisoner of war" diet. But your comment did make me laugh. You are a MAN though. You guys wake up from surgery down 30lbs and feeling great! Soooooo damn true!!! We get it all- periods, bloating, pregnancy, menopause. The only thing we have over men? When they wake up ugly they are stuck at ugly. We have the luxury of makeup. Oh wait. That sucks too- costs money and always needs to be replaced. Forget that one. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  16. Nope. No unsubscribe allowed. You're stuck with all the notifications. Buyer beware before you "like" or "comment". It will haunt you forever!!! Seriously though, there is an unsubscribe feature. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  17. Well, she was accused of having her niceness removed with her stomach in another post. ( Or some such variation of what I just said- you get the point.) Me, personally? I think I DID have some of my "stupid" taken out with my stomach...I'm seeing the world a HELL of a lot more clearly now... "If only......" Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
