@@LipstickLady, I'm the one who doesn't know The Lion King. It'll take me a while to look into it and understand your post.

Now I might piss some peeps off but.....As I have always said the majority votes don't count for much. Clinton won the common people votes but...Trump won because of the electorial votes. Does this make anyone else wonder?

All I can think about is this movie, if you haven't seen it you MUST!

Idiocracy! I loved that movie. We joked a couple of months ago that the director had no clue he was filming a documentary.

At least we have four years of funny Trump memes to look forward to.

It's called "popular vote." The common people voted for the trump thing. What's to wonder? There's been talk for decades about dismantling the electoral college in favor of the popular vote.

At least we have four years of funny Trump memes to look forward to.

You may be losing weight quite nicely, but you fall short on the cold comfort scale. One meme on any subject may be amusing, maybe two can as well. Three become tedious. Beyond that would be the same as picking lint from your navel. If you choose to sit on your butt doing nothing, you'll get flabby in mind and spirit.

Well, I'm a Libertarian so my hope is that more and more people will realize that the result we had this election was the direct result of the duopoly that forces people into a "one or the other" mindset. We need more choices and in this day and age, with information at our fingertips and sites like isidewith.com to help us narrow the field, there is no reason we should be stuck in this two-party mindset. Except that Americans just seem to love rooting for teams.

      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.
