Okay, enough quotes. I'm sorry. :blink:

And your particular brand of f-upness is most welcome, Bearman. :D

I thought this one quite good...

“We don't set out to save the world; we set out to wonder how other people are doing and to reflect on how our actions affect other people's hearts.”

Who'da thunk it ;)

That one is really good...I am a true believer that we are not quite sure how exactly things are meant when they are said so it is always gracious to give those who express themselves honestly or openly what ever they feel; respect and consideration.....

In pure Brit-Speak, I will concur with 'ab-so-bloody-lutely', RJ :)

And the final BOOOOOOOM!!

“The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently.”

Shitted! This was the one I was gonna like :P

Bear-man...they were actually quite taken with your response! They didn't mean any harm, and were not making fun of anyone but themselves. You opened the thread up even more, in a positive way, and they were jumping on the possibilities you presented with your awesome quotes and suggestions. Each of their quotes reflected some of the things we have learned from one another since Madame began the awesomeness that is this thread, and we are all pleased that you would choose to join us on this journey.

Oh, not at all. You just have to get used to the quirkiness of this group. Your quote just got everyone enthused. When this group gets enthused, you never know what is going to pop out.

Now that I read "staples" I better understand the context. :D

Please now resume the regularly scheduled repartee.

It kind of reminds me of my friends from high school (of 30 years) when we get together for Green Bay Packer games and an outsider tries to keep up with the witticisms and ripostes. Which this just shared my thought on if you can have "friends" be "real" on the internet. This thread could be held up as a shining example of it. I think I will alert the social media.

      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?
