I am a retired teacher and notice spelling and grammar more than most people. I have noticed that people on this site tend to use the spelling "loose" as a verb ie I want to loose weight. In fact, "loose" is the adjective form of the verb "lose" ie I am trying to "lose" weight. (the word "lose" shows action and is a verb) In the spelling "lose" the "s" sounds like a "z". My clothes are getting very "loose". (the word "loose" is an adjective describing the clothes) In the spelling "loose" the "s" is an "s" sound. Lynda

THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! I am a HS English teacher and this bugs me too. I also see, "I have had a 4 pound lost", instead of "loss". My sister tells me that when I point out things like that no one wants to be my friend! LOL

I usually look past the spelling and typing errors....including my own I'm sure.

After all it's not english class or a spelling bee :w00t:

I like to read what people have to say even if they don't know how to spell or use proper english.

It was a spelling error that allowed 23-year-old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to board a Northwest Airlines flight on Christmas Day. The young man claimed to be an agent of al-Qaida, and attempted to blow the plane up.

I'm just saying...

IMHO, the worse is the "Texters", who continue their texting spelling here. U no wht I mean? (I'm not much of a "Texter" as you can see)

A spelling error here and there is not a big deal! Let it go people...lets focus on what is at hand here.

p.s. I'm a teacher too and not bothered at all!

Chris, what is at hand here is what ever anyone wants to talk about. If you read the posts here you will see conversations from nipple piercing to Sarah Palin (just some posts here on top tonight)

Just people with questions, issues, problems, gripes or whatever.

BTW, you sooo sound like a teacher!:(

The more we use improper English, we eventually become use to it, and it begins to sound alright. Hang on to your education. It may become a precious commodity one of these days.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
