What about Big John...

as in "Every morn at the mine you could see him arrive he stood 6 foot 6 and weighed 245 kinda broad at the shoulder and narrow at the hip and everbody knew you didnt give no lip to big john.

big john, big john, big bad john.

Nobody seem to know where john called home, he just drifted into town and stayed all alone. he didnt say much kinda quiet and shy and if ya spoke at all you just said hi to big john. somebody said he came from new orleans where he got in a fight over a cajun queen and a crashing blow from a huge right hand sent a louisiana fella to the promise land, big john.

big john, big john, big bad john.

Then came the day at the bottom of the mine when a timber cracked and men started crying, miners where praying and hearts beat fast and everybody thought they'd breathed their last cept john. through the dust and the smoke of this man made hell walked giant of a man with a minors new weld, grabbed a saggin timber and gave out with a groan and like a giant oak tree just stood there alone.

big john, big john, big bad john.

and with all of his strength he gave a mighty shove then a minor yelled out theres a light up above and twenty men scrambled from a would be grave and now theres only one left down there to save big john. with jacks and timbers they started back down, then came that rumble way down in the ground and as smoke and gas belched out of that mine, everybody knew it was the end of the line for big john.

big john, big john, big bad john.

now they never re-opened that worthless pit, they just placed a marble stand in front of it. these few words are written on that stand:

At the bottom of this mine lies one Hell of a Man: BIG JOHN.

big john, big john, big bad john.

OKay, you could name it "Cheri"... my mom has often said I'm like a tumor, or was it a lump? Oh, well, anyway...

I always liked the off-color nicknames such as Mike Hunt.

Vinesqueen: Doc, when are you going to get mike hunt out of my head?

Or something like Master Baiter -

Vinesqueen: Doc, when are you going to get this Master Baiter out of my head?

I guess you could just name it Fluffy...

I'm torn between "Poly" and "Pitunia"... so I guess depending when the tumor turns on or off, that will be it's name. (when it turns "on" I'm symptomatic, i.e. feeling like I'm on high doses of prednisone.)

Thanks for playing everyone!

      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

      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.
