BJean...

Lauren and I may well break bones but damn, we'll look good jumping out of that plane skinny! wink.gif

Yes, we will! Hell, we'll have to plan to go sky-diving together in a year or so, when I hit goal (hopefully).

Well, you know... I do have my student license to fly. If we both trust me by that point and if I get my real license, I can fly and push you out of the plane! At least I have a hunch that is what it will take to get me out of that plane! HA!

Bjean, I have that kind of relationship with a few of my friends. Sadly since I've moved to the UK its been difficult for me to be very helpful to them with all the time changes. At least here in the UK it's not considered weird or satanic to do what I do. The US can be so narrow-minded about it.

I'll have to watch Moulin Rouge again, maybe it is one of those films one just doesnt get the first time around.

As per coke, I dropped weight really quickly when on it but the harm it caused was by far worse than any good it did at the time. I do know what you mean about doing anything to los weight. I'm sure I did myself endless amounts of harm using stackers all those years. It's really bad for your heart.

You guys are way cool. I don't stack up much, but here goes.

  • I show, breed & rescue Miniature Pinschers (they are my life!)
  • I would much rather be a dog mom then a real one
  • I am an Army Brat and an Air Force Wife
  • My hubby is now medically retired (he has MS, a failed Spinal fusion and RSD in his right foot)
  • I work for Michael Smalley - he is a really famous (in the religious world) speaker, author, counselor
  • I had a 10" tumor removed with an ovary which turned out to be cancerous in 2002 - thankfully removed in its entirety.
  • I have known my husband since we were 6, but were mortal enemies until we were 18 - odd how things change

I am a Brain-Eating Zombie as some here have discovered :heh:

But you are eating fewer of 'em now that you have been banded, eh?

I heard that they are rich in saturated fats.... This is not good for you, Derick.

But, uh, Bubblebutt....if you are flying the plane don't you think you should stay in it?

Not really. You see I haven't actually mastered "landing" yet. I do great take offs, stalls, turn on a quarter thing... but landing, yeah. That's not my specialty.

I don't normally post to threads like this. It always makes me feel a little awkward, like I'm bragging about myself. Hopefully it won't read that way. And I've probably already said most of this in some post or another. ;)

Things that might surprise someone…

I have no idea if this is current, but at one point I was the youngest survivor of spinal meningitis.

I have never been drunk nor high.

I am a member of the mile high club.

I had plans to be a research geneticist and pursued medical school with this intention. Then a personal & miserable experience with a professor turned me off to the experience so I left and re-enrolled as an art major. If I could change any decision in my life, that would at least tie for first choice.

I've had at least 17 broken bones. Not all at the same time.

I am as opinionated "in real life" as online, and as detached from the general public. However, I never see online attention as "real" attention, so I am more open with my opinions (repercussions also have something to do with this). In real life, I rarely offer up opinions, unless asked, because they usually bring attention and I abhor anything remotely resembling the spotlight (I'm a fully expressed introvert).

I love learning. I have 7 university degrees and am not done, even though I don’t plan to “use” them. I am an advocate for continuing education (in the literal sense). I love learning and plan to continue self-education or taking classes "for fun" as long as I'm able. Things like reading Brian Greene are “fun” for me, even if I don’t really get it, because it’s still learning and offers a challenge.

I have bought every Harry Potter book at least 10 times, but I don't think it's that good of a story. I have donated the books to local schools, shelters, and the children centers of local hospitals. This is because I will support anyone who can get millions of kids interested in reading again.

I tried to edit out the last 2 because I really don't think they would surprise anyone to know about me. But I couldn't hack the smileys or having to reformat everything. So instead, just pretend they aren't there.

Oh, Wheetsin, it is so nice to have you back!!! I haven't bothered posting anything concerning myself because I don't really think that there is anything which I could list about myself that would surprise anyone.

I was interested to read that you are a member of the mile high club; I am also a member of the club, the stunt which qualified me is ancient Green history, and now I find myself marvelling how two adult bodies could even fit into one of those horrid little aircraft washrooms let alone do anything interesting while there. :omg:

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
