I'm an over-made-up, morbidly obese, mostly grey-haired, smoking, nail-filing phone sex operator in an independent film that was actually shown at a couple of indy festivals in L.A.

I've never seen it. I think I'd be horrified now. (But with the recent weight loss, maybe I could tell people it was not really me, just my sister. I mean, even my doctor says I'm "a whole new person." Would that work?)

LOL. I'd love to see that, Sue! It did cross my mind to just 'go for it'. Then, I have this ambivalence about believing much on the net. After what I've been through here (on the net), I'm more inclined to think it's some hateful person pulling my strings. I'm jaded :eek: Unfortunately, people keep proving to me that I'm naive to think that people are basically good and honest. It sucks to have that innocence taken from you. So I hesitate.. .

Just for the record, I wanted to let all of you know that back in 2000 I left my Thinking Cap in the Labor & Delivery room. Ive been calling the Lost and Found weekly, but nothing yet...

I'm convinced that brain cells are sucked out during delivery. At least, that's my excuse. :heh:

Leatha ~ I can understand the hesitation with the offer coming via net. It's kind of fun to fantasize though isn't it? We live in a day and age where we can't always trust the motivations of people, ESPECIALLY on the net. There are trolls, pedophiles, rapists and much more we can't even imagine. We are raising our children in a tough time, that's for sure. All the more reason to have them in church IMO.

Oh!!! I didn't get PAID!!! Our kid was a theater major in college and worked in some big box office films and had/has friends in the industry...so I was "drafted."

"Mom? X's boyfriend is making his film, and it's costing him SOOOO much money and can we film some of it HERE? Oh...and would you be in the mood to do a bit part? No biggie."

Yeah, right.

NewSho, my mind is spinning out of control after reading your post so I called Webster and asked them to replace my photo with yours next to the word, Survivor. Your experience outwits mine by far (I'm the famous 2 port girl that never had a port - both new ports became infected and had to be immediately removed and eventually infected tube popped out of my infected wound, true freak here.) I'm dying to read the rest of this thread but something's wrong with my puter, and it won't let me get to pages 3 and 4. Oh noooo!

I really need to come here more often. I am so lost as to what has been going on here lately. This new format we use here at LBt gets me all confused. I seem to miss alll the new posts. Lisa kudos to you girl...failure is not a word in my vocabulary either! Nobody here at LBT in my opinion is a failure

      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 :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      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.

      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.
