wait wait wait... back up... coffee cake doesn't have coffee in it?? That is why I have never eaten it. I hate coffee.

Jenna....I have never met anyone else who dislikes coffee as much as I do!!! *hi fives*!!! Yeah man, coffee cake is YUMMMMMY! Crse I haven't had any in a VERY long time and it will likely be several months before I have a lil' nibble!

Ummmmmm but...rest assured that Vin could very easily convince me to have a cup of java...very little prodding needed!!! :party: :party: :confused:

Well, I'm not a great story teller, but I had a thing happen to me in Walmart awhile back that I still haven't been able to get over. So here goes:

I am single (was married 20 yrs) 45 yrs old, for those who don't know.

I was in Walmart just spending time one day and I found myself in the lingerie section, just browsing. I travel and spend a lot of time in hotels, so I'm always on the lookout for comfy things I can wear in the evening, but that will still allow me to open the door for room service or any other hotel personnel that might be needed. So, I was browsing through the light cotton gowns (my favorites), but most of the time, they are a bit thin for opening doors to strangers. Of course, I always see the more feminine, frilly things, but I'm in hotel room, alone and just don't feel okay with those either. Then, there are the dorm-shirt type of gown, longer in length, a little heavier fabric and nowadays they have pajama pants with the coordinating T-shirts which I think are cute. They're comfortable and they cover you up enough not to have to wear a robe most of the time. So I'm browsing through the cute little capri length bottoms and checking out the little tops that you can coordinate with them. Minding my own business. Up walks a lady, I'd say at least 50, looked more like 55 or 60. Bleached blonde hair, leathery skin - a bit worse for the wear, it appeared. She seemed to get a little 'close' as I tend to like my '2 ft space'. Courteously, I move onto the next rack. She seems to follow and she opens her mouth. Taking the very article of clothing that I'm actually admiring (the capris and cami top), she says, "Now doesn't that just spell SEX?" very sarcastically, in her very raspy, bawdy, long-time smoker's voice. Myself and another lady in the immediate area look up at her and smile, and just want to mind our own business. Then, she says very loudly and without much reserve, 'If I wore that to bed, my husband would kick me out on the floor!" Me and the other woman just looked at each other, not knowing whether to even respond at all. But, I left knowing and envisioning more than I ever wanted to know about this stranger.

Um.. okay..?? And I needed to know this WHY??? :)

My husband came home from work once with a gross story about one of the guys he works with.

He said the guy went to the bathroom and about 20 min. later came back and told him he thinks he lost 5 pounds and went on to tell him how he weighs himself before and after a BM...GROSS!!! Why would you tell your boss this?!?

O.k. I must admit ..... I am the one that always talks backwards and keep my friends laughing.

One Friday night, my friend and I were at Famous Daves (our almost every Friday night hang out). We were in deep discussion about Hugh Hefner (sp). I was truely amazed at this old fart with all these extremely young women as his girlfriends. I told my friend, "I bet Hugh has to take a lot of Vivarine to keep up with those girls." She smiled at me (knows me tooo well) and said "Well, I am sure keeping awake is not his main problem - but then again older people tend to go to bed earlier than most." I was lost at why she was worried about his sleeping habits when it dawned on me what I had said and I blurted out "oh my god, I mean Viagra!!!" - as the waitress appeared with our food.:) I think my friend and I bout wet our pants. We are now known as the Viagra girls.

Here is another good one - this one my friend actually shared with my DH and they BOTH still harrass me to this day...... I was talking to my friend (again, friday night outing) about my husband's hunting schedule....he loves to deer hunt. And that weekend I told my friend that my husband was going MULLET HUNTING. She looked at me and just laughed. She said " do you need a special hunting permit for that?"as she was laughing so hard that tears came to her eyes. She continues" Rabbit Season, Duck Season, Mullet Season......" "SHHHHH, be very very quiet, I'm hunting mullets"......needless to say, I will never live that down.

tracy

Great THread... I needed a good laugh. :)

My mother is a very intelligent lady which makes some of her TIA comments all the more entertaining.

My mother accompanied me on a car shopping trip one day so that I might rely on her wisdom when choosing a vehicle. (I was age 22) The first car that caught my eye was a cute little red number and I could see my mother shaking her head with a "thank Goodness I came along" look at we climbed in for a closer look. She remained cheerful but I could see that if she wasn't able to pop out a lecture on my lack experience in these matters soon, her head was likely to explode. Soooo... I made idle chit chat on all of the "COOL" features while pulling out the CUP HOLDER... My Mom... wanting to "appear" supportive said.... "Oh Look!!!! A CD player!!!"

I ALMOST didn't want to tell her it was a cup holder...LOLOLOL.

Well, I always thought the "New Mexico isn't US" were urban myths, I mean, how could someone not know the geography of their own country???? But no, people don't have the slightest grasp of gradeschool stuff....

A woman my sister worked with wanted to know if someone else was going to drive to Hawaii from Washington state....

She also told my sister that her mother had a "genital heart condition." She was oh so very offended when my sister started laughing.

When I was in exhile in Idaho, the young woman at the beauty college wanted to know if my husband told me to major in Business. Like my husband would ever tell me to do anything...

Um.. okay..?? And I needed to know this WHY??? :)

I visited my parents this weekend and took my mom shopping on Saturday. I had on a cami with a tie-front cardigan over it, and jeans. I pulled up a completely different tie front cardigan that was downright ugly, and showed it to my mom who was about 10 ft away. She grimaced, and I said, "That's not really cute, is it..." This lady who was between us looked up at me and says, "Yeah hon, that is cute! I was thinking I'd get it!" (She's completely serious, and must have really misheard me). Then she walks WAY up to me, and I mean UP to me, like there's maybe a foot between us, and she grabs my cardigan and peels it back like she's trying to see what's behind door #3 and says, "Oh, you have one on like it, I always wondered what people wore under these things, what is that you have on under there? Is that a bathing suit?"

She moved quicker than my reflexes, so by the time I told her to get away from me all of this had already happened and my mother is hysterical -- she knows 1) I'd rather strangers just leave me alone, 2) smelly people piss me off, and she was smelly and 3) really, just don't touch me, ok?

I have one on my sister in law. She is NOT the sharpest knife in the drawer..that is for sure.

Anyways, a couple winters ago she came over to my house and my husband and daughter had left that morning to go ice fishing. Well my SIL is standing in my kitchen looking out the window to the back yard and she gets this smirk on her face so I say "What?" She says where did your husband go? I said, " he went ice fishing" and she gets this look on her face like oh really. So I ask her why. She says are you sure he went fishing....I am like, Yes he went fishing. She says what if that is just what he told you he was doing and he is really somewhere else. I looked at her and said what are you getting at. I shit you not she takes another look out the window and points to the boat in the back yard and says with a smirk like she caught him....well if he is fishing how come he left his boat. I started laughing so hard I almost wet myself. She says what?

I said Sue(that is her name)...he went ice fishing what the hell is he going to use the boat for. Needless so say it kind of blew hew "He's cheating on you therory"

We still give her crap about it.

Oh teenagers... this happened today.

I was reviewing a group of Seniors for their final. They were talking among themselves and not listening. I stated my famous, "if I am talking and you are talking it means someone is not listening... and I don't have to listen to you" line. Then told them that they needed to pay attention that they would be handed a final and they needed to pass.

Then one Senior goes, "Miss we are Seniors...we don't know how to pay attention." So I quit the review and handed them their final.

Poodles, that is SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!

I gotta say, I feel bad for the ones that WERE being quiet who got stuck with the final 'cuz of the loud ones (I was one of the quiet ones in school).

So this one I just remembered... My fiance and my sister and I were watching something on TV. I don't have any idea what it was, but it had some kind of magical dog in it, it might have even been a commercial. So my sister says as a joke "I wonder what magical dogs eat", and my fiance, without missing a beat says "Oh, they eat flowers", and my sister says "REALLY?!?!" We probably could have had her going for 5 or 10 minutes, but we didn't' think fast enough because we both started laughing hysterically.

It was funny (though not as funny as some of the other ones posted...)

Marimaru, here's a joke for your sister. Next time you see her, point up at the sky and yell out, "Wow, look at that dead bird!"

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      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.
