Hello Everyone, I'm dawg!!

I thought I'd post this to introduce myself because I never gave you fair warning about me.

About me:

I'm an Englishman living in an Idahoan world. It does things to ya. I'm a geek. That does things to ya as well.

My sense of humor is satirical, sarcastic and very very very very dry.

I am frequently perceived as dry, abrasive, condescending, mean, judg(e)mental, calous, and heartless.

Despite evidence to the contrary, there is a slight pulse deep within this stoney heart and I do actually care about people in pain.

I rarely say the right thing. I frequently make it worse after trying to do a "cover your ass" from saying the wrong thing.

If you give me seventeen benefits of the doubts, you might actually start to 'get' me.

I am insanely protective of my wife and will leap to her defense whether she needs my help or not.

I love a good discussion or debate. I'm less fond of arguments and fights.

I think that about covers it.

Wait... I left out zealous and opinionated.

I make a sack full of pittbulls look sane.

Dawg I get the feeling you'd be an absolute hoot in real life. Written words are harder to interpret. I always get the feeling you're tongue in cheek and have a giggle, but I think its hard for people to read the tone of what you've said. Posting that was a good idea, I really hope that clears the air for a lot of people.

I'm an Englishman...

Well, that explains a lot...especially the spelling thing. :)

Serioulsy, I've been reading a lot of Bryce Courtenay lately (a WONDERFUL Austrailian writer) and there are a few spellings used regularly that kinda throw me (like "practise").

I make a sack full of pittbulls look sane.

Yeah, got that.

(lol)

And whatever thread it was where you posted that my post was silly... you were absolutely right.

Welcome Dawg! I've noticed many of the above descriptions in some of your posts... you are definitely entertaining! (Entertainment being one of the main reasons I read here, after giving and receiving support). Good luck to you in your weight loss by association!

I am indeed mostly 'tongue in cheek'.

Not very good at being politically correct either :)

As for the 'hoot' in real life. I'm actually even more of a miserable bastard. I enjoy it :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
