Football joke for you Macpower! Football coach is driving along road in the country. Sees a farm boy working in the field along the road. Stops the car, tosses the boy a football and says "Son can you pass this?" Boy turns it over and over in his hands, says" Sir, if I can figure out how to swallow this, I'm sure I can pass it!"

I am an only child ergo I had to be Daddy's little bud as well as Mamma' s little Princess. So I am very sports savvy. Someone told late hubby You're lucky she likes sports. He said says Nope she times everything for halftime,throws it on TV trays, says Eat Quick, I don't want to miss the game either. We got married at 6:45 on a Saturday night. Why that time? Well you want to get married when the clock hands are going up and besides OSU was tipping off against Michigan at 8:30pm, that gave time for the wedding, reception and most people back home for the basketball game to start. I missed it because I was on my wedding trip with John and I was young and in [emoji177]. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

You are in servitude to the Grehlin monster, he also claimed me as his Own. You are going to be sooo envious of me, I sleep every night under a Nebraska Cornhuskers microfleece blanket. Yepper you heard me right! You see I worked 11+years at. Local WallyWorld, most of them in the Fabrics and Craft Department. When we were ordering in various fleeces, we are "traited " that's a WW term meaning we carry for the most part area teams Cleveland Browns and Indians, Cincinnati Bengals and Reds Pittsburgh Steelers only because a former manager was a fan , normally that's no fartther west than Athens Ohio, and the Ohio State Buckeyes. In one order what should come in but a nice fat bolt of Cornhusker fleece! Now there or one or two families in my town who are transplants and we gradually sold it down. Before it all could go bye bye I bought the tail end , made it double thickness crocheted a cream border around it and use it. Stop drooling,if we ever meet in person I'll make you a gift of it, until then it's MINE all MINE! And every time Nebraska is televised I drag it to the living room and wrap up in it.See I know your colors are crimson and cream just like OSU's are scarlet and gray. That's why it has a cream border.Did you play for Nebraska and if so, what year?[emoji458] Oh I think we might just turn out to be friends.[emoji12]PS I have sleep apnea, GERD and have had arthritis since 25. I was double jointed as a kid, do you know double jointed people have 85% chance of early onset arthritis? Truth! I have had 2 knee replacements, one in 2014 one February 2017, a plate in upper right arm from humeral FX and lost my right thumb carpometacarpal joint to surgery October 2016. Just like a Timex Watch I take a licking and keep on ticking. Happy [emoji301]Easter! Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi MACPOWER! What variety of surgery will you be having? Where will you be having it at? And lastly, can we help you with any questions? We're a nice group of people, world wide, and we love to help others. My name on here is frust8, I got peeved one day , said I was frust8ed and they took me at my word. I am 72, yeah you heard right,live in Central Ohio, 14 miles from the Geographic Center, and will,be having a RnY bypass at OSU Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, my state capital.May maybe? Red headed spunky and sassy at times but I'm in it to win it like everybody else. I have a BMI of 46-47, nice weight for a redwood tree, might heavy for a human female, had an eureka moment, I'm not going to live much longer in this tired obese worn out shell without surgery, diets tried-well everything up to near starvation, did not work for long if all all. So here I am , Bariatric God/grandma to many but basically a Buckeye Good Ole Girl. Now sit down, pull up a chair and tell me your side of things[emoji12] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Still lurking and reading all this good advice. Hey got a question for you folks. My blender died a slow stinky death recently. Want to get a replacement for future pureed and healthy drinks especially if I decide to go the powdered route instead of bottles. Saw on HSN today a hand held blender, is that a good option, should I lean more towards an ordinary upright style or go for a NutraBullet or Ninja?.? What have you had best luck with?

Yeah and they shovel it in so fast they seldom taste it. I was one of the worst offenders, I ate like someone was going to take it away from me. And I'm an only child, think how I would have been if I had a roomfu'll [emoji68][emoji67][emoji66][emoji65][emoji64]of siblings. Now with my practice chewing, regretfully I am still pre-surg, I now know the tastes and alas the texture of well chewed food. No kvetch,i know it's ahead in my future for quite a while if not forever, but I will soldier on to the finish. Having to up my denture adhesive a little so I don't loosen and clack but it's still doable. As Easter[emoji195]finishes us,we will have scrambled eggs, yeah Bunny didn't corner them all, hash brown patties, and sausage for Tomkitten, my son and heir to my miniscule fortune. Might eat a little hash brown, since I've been reforming on my diet and the gastritis, I can't eat as much at a time. Peeves him but I reassure him it's for the best. I will never eat again to the level he does. And Its Still for the Best. Greetings to you- Mr [emoji519] and the little seedlings in your orchard. And thank SIL for keeping her mouth shut towards the rest of the family.[emoji12] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Don't be nervous, when you are on Bariatric Pal you are among friends. The veterans, who I count among our greatest resource, have been there, done that,made it through and are here to share their experiences and cheer us on as each of us makes our own journey. Some of us, like you, are newbies, some still completing requirements, some with dates set and some with brand new surgeries. Yeah all different stages but we are united in wanting to help others.This is not an easy journey, sometimes not a quick journey, but all, unless we turn back, make it to the finish line. We come in with different life experiences but it makes for a richer fabric of life here. Relax, sit down and tell us a little more about yourself, we always enjoy hearing from New friends![emoji12] Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app
