Stef, the bike is a specialized Sirus comp. It's basically a crossover bike. Everything about it is road bike except for the handle bars which are more like a mountain bike.

JC, do you find overweight women attractive? I am mad at DH right now.....my car stinks really really really bad, like something crawled in it and died. I told DH about it and of course, did he look.....NO......He said, yeah, it stinks.....but did not do anything about it. I am pissed.

D, I find WOMEN attractive, period. Have you ever churned butter? LOL

I love gettin some butter churned! Sorry J. I couldn't help myself and besides I wouldn't be me if I didn't share that little tidbit with you guys.

LMAO....I know how to churn butter, but, I am not mad anymore, so I guess DH will be getting his butter churned tonight. Oh my god, that is just toooooo freakin funny. I am going to adopt this butter churning saying.

JC, the thought just crossed my mind. Do you date overweight women? I remember reading a thread I think in the rants and raves about who people found attractive and most of the overweight people did not find overweight people attractive. What do you all think? I think that I am attracted more to personality but I like big men. Not way overweight, but big as in tall and muscular. Both of which my DH is not. He is 5'9" but weighs about 170. He has been the same size since high school. In fact he may be a bit smaller since high school.

D, My first wife weiged 96-98 pounds but her attitude became intolerable. My last wife was in the 200 pound range. I have dated all sizes. I am attracted to many different things, of course a nice figure is pleasing to the eyes but it is not my focus. I look at the total person. What they are about as much as what they look like.

I have noticed that,,, (MOST) ,,,notice I did not use a blanket statement, most, of the Barbie Doll types are a Royal Pain in the Ass.

I have had to deal with an above average amount of close to home deaths in my life. I know how short life can be and I see no value in putting up with someone elses bullshit regardless of anything, much less looks.

BTW, I still heart churned butter! I am glad you are not mad at DH anymore!!!

<----- Wayne county butter churning champion in the house.

Wow I sound like either a really good farmer or a big time whore. Guess this is not the time to mention that my Virginia is itchy.

I am not really attracted to overweight men. It sounds stupid and shallow considering where I have come from but it is true. Muscular is great, even with a little pudge is okay. But athletic guys really do it for me. I have an obsession with football players. And men who like to do outdoorsy things, camping, biking, hiking, etc. I hate to sound like such a superficial bitch but DH is starting to look pregnant and it is such a huge turnoff for me. Maybe he is right, maybe I am shallow.

BG, I don't think you are shallow. I think you have taken control of your life and want the same for DH.

JC, I need to ask you a question. What is a really good laptop computer to get. My MIL wants to get my FIL one for Christmas and she thinks because I am in college I am smart about everything. LOL....which I am, but not computers. LOL...Can you help me out, or anyone? I have a stupid compaq presario and I hate it.

Talking about being attracted to fat people as a fat person. My Ex is fat and it didn't bother me. Once someone called us bookends and that bothered me. I decided from that point forward I wouldn't be with short and fat if I got another chance. Horrible but true.

Tall and fat, tall and regular, short and regular. Frankly someone needs to be smart to keep my interest.

Passing to the olive garden is understandable. It's all pasta..well there is Soup and salad. Niether of which work that well for me now. Lettuce is just gross chewed to the right consistency and the soup, isn't chewy enough and I feel like I'm going to be hungry again too soon.

Are you going to the pool and hot tub tonight?

    • alisasings

      I joined BariatricPal in 2008 & I FINALLY made the descision to have WLS!! I'm so excited & not sure what I need to do to get the ball rolling, but I made an appointment with my PCP for 7/19. It's a start I guess.

        I've been dreaming about it for 30 years or so. It's time to make it happen!

      I joined yesterday when I was struggling with this preop diet... 
      It typically comes and goes, the hard times and easier times. I'm on day 6 of 14  shakes, water, sf Popsicles and jello. And I might actually be losing my mind. But, oh dear lord has the fear set in. Not about the surgery itself, but life afterwards. If I feel this crappy on the preop diet, am I going to feel like this forever after? 
      I know most of the answers are no, not forever. It might be worse after for a while, then get better. I know it's a more of a mental challenge than physical after the first couple weeks of healing. I get all of that. But I'm starting to feel scared about losing myself afterwards. 
      It might be my hormones or desire to chew something salty talking.. It may go away soon or tomorrow.. I can hope, anyway. But right now.. The fear is real. 
       
      And this liquid diet can bite me.

        Fear is normal, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm 4.5 months post-op and the pre-op diet was by far the hardest part of the whole process. There will be challenges and a lot of new things to learn, but I can honestly say at this point I feel so much more "back to normal" and was even able to go on a week-long vacation with my kids without stressing over it. It's so worthwhile.

        @NickelChip This actually does make me feel better! Thank you so much! After the onslaught of Covid, we've all had to deal with a "new normal", so I know it's possible. It's just the fear and frustration in this moment that makes me question if I can find another "new normal" afterwards. The thought of just a few more months seems daunting some times, but I really do appreciate input and real experience. I'll use that to get me through for a few more hours! LOL. Thank you so much! And I'm glad everything is going so well for you! ❤️

      I started my 10 day pre op diet yesterday I need flavor!! I'm not big on the chocolate protein shakes so I just got to use up what I have was thinking about freezing it to make it like a ice cream so its something I can chew a little. Idk this is hard but I know I can do it just need to find new things to try

        You can try. I've read other people have had good results with protein-shake popsicles, etc. My personal experience with it? Sucked.

        I tried making 'fudgesicles' with a couple different flavors of a premade shake, as well as a protein powder I blended myself and all of them came out revolting? The powder ones, all the protein sunk to the middle; the premade shakes, the popsicle had a disgusting texture and the protein seemed to leave a weird fluffy film on the outside? I couldn't stomach it.

        Maybe look into flavoring additives? I was able to have sugar-free coffee /soda syrup flavorings, sugar-free drink flavorings and baking additives like almond, rum or pepperment extract. The extracts helped me the most as they added no extra sweetener.

        On the other hand, if you can get your hands on an unflavored/unsweetened protein powder, the syrup flavorings are perfect. I love to use Boost "Just Protein" (which is unflavored) with milk and a Chai-flavored sugarfree syrup.

        Good luck!
