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 :)

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
