LilMissDiva Irene 3,282 Posted February 16, 2012 There are more homes in the US with dogs but more cats in the country. Why? Most homes with cats have more than one. Why? CATS ACCUMULATE!! They have some kind of telepathic power that calls cats in and puts suggestions in your subconscious to get more. We started with CoCo Puff. We "decided" to get him a companion so we got Tigger from a farm. Then Spoticus wandered in from a field and attached himself to the horde. We then "had the bright idea to go to a cat show", telling ourselves that 3 cats was quite enough and resolved to go no further. But then the humane society had ribbons all over Clepatra's cage,(we later renamed her Cleocatra). Amazing that a one-eyed black cat could earn such awards but we bit on it after some displays of affection and no doubt some telepathy from the feline in question. We are determined that 4 is all. But who knows what the combined mental pressure of the 4 will do to our weakened will. We were the same way too... always saying this # is enough... then you start collecting 2 at a time. LOL We have 6 now, and we surely are maxed out! But, as I say that we have 4 additional outdoor kitties that have adopted us as well. So I guess that's 10 now.

M2G 1,836 Posted February 18, 2012 im right here darling , well thing is ladies are more educated about the weight loss surgery than men , at least in where i live Oh my goodness this is soooo true (AT least in OUR household!) My hubby is sleeved and has neither the time nor desire to join a message board. He learned everything he knows about the sleeve from me! Which is ok. I don't mind being his mentor, and together we have lost almost 170lbs and both look and FEEL 10 years younger. So all is well with us, but I have to just put in here that generally the men aren't as "chatty" as the women. Just how it is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BamaXpress78 21 Posted February 22, 2012 Between work, exercise, and taking on some extra responsibilities around the house since my wife is in nursing school and working it seems all my computer time has disappeared...but I wouldn't trade anything for how I feel right now. Three months ago it was a chore to get off the couch, now I look for an excuse to not go sit on the couch. The only down side is how easy it is to start spending lots of money as I find all of these new projects around the house I want do now. Amazon, Lowe's, and Home Depot stock should be doing well the past couple of months. 1 nancymm reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CosmicVagabond 2 Posted February 23, 2012 I be here too. I'm about a month pre-op and having the preparatory tests done. sleep study, scope down the throat, counseling, ultrasound. I think my surgeon has ordered evry single test possible for me! He is on record as reccomending a RNY, but the more I read about the sleeve, the more I am definately going with it. I have a high BMI and am afraid that I won't get to where I want to be. (Thin) I am so sick of being fit and all of the crap that comes along with it that I want to get down to almost skinny. I want to be able to walk and walk and walk. So sick of being almost disabled. Ahh, TMI you say? OK, getting off my soap box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geeewhy 30 Posted February 23, 2012 Not TMI at all. You're right where I was 5 months ago. Now I can walk and and walk. No doubt in my mind you can get there if you put the work in and follow the program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
