I prefer to believe both count

Know this.....as a fat guy....there are lots of bouncy waves involved, lol.

One could only hope for rocking, listing, and bounce-inducing waves...

THIS MEME THO @@theantichick ! This thread is WINNING the BP forum right now. Not to mention, I'll never look at a Webster's Dictionary the same way again.

You mean there was ANOTHER way to look at one??

Oh, those are a lot of fun!

I might just post one of those when I see them, instead of trying explain why someone's comment makes no sense.

You know, 'cause words are hard 'n' stuff.

Yes!!! Throw a flag on the play!!

Offsides!!! False start!!! Icing!!!! Encroachment!!!! Unnecessary roughness!!!

Of course, some may not consider those fouls, at all....

Not to disrupt the ... ahem... size discussion,

but this came across my Facebook feed this morning and it made me think of this thread. We all need to find the other "penalty plays" and save them so we can just throw a flag in online discussions. LOL

THESE.ARE.AWESOME.

I LIKE THIS ONE. A LOT.

How do I put a link to this thread on another thread? I see a sh#t storm brewing on "are revisions really necessary" all I can say is that bans has passed off someone has a giant ax to grind and she's trying to grind it an emery board.

Hopefully it doesn't start swirling the bowl.

She wasn't insulting anyone in her post, wasn't calling out individuals or name calling. It's her experience, and hopefully people can respectfully disagree if they don't like it.

You're new 'round these parts, ain't ya?

I hate this forum more than I love it cuz so many here are committed to their crazy and their dysfunction. Sometimes, I use it to feel more successful and sane. Reading "I had an egg day 5, is that ok?" Just reminds me that I don't need the success rate for wls to be higher, I just need to succeed. @@LipstickLady is my spirit animal!

Dang my brand new self!!

Got any links you point me to? You know, to further my education?

[OzRoo 1,492]

No links, but we had "bacon gate", pork chop gate", "Swedish fish gate", "Carp gate", "20 oz steak gate", "CheesIts gate",

"eating pizza 2-3 days post op gate", "BMI 21 for VSG gate", etc, etc

I am sure I forgot few others ......

And they keep coming .....

Wash, rinse, repeat ....

I did bear witness to tacogate, albeit as a lurker!

After reading that list (minus the Swedish fish) I'm coming to realize that a ton of people here share many of my favourite foods!

I havent felt hungry for 2 weeks, but now I am!

[OzRoo 1,492]

@@Hammer_Down

LOL, I forgot the "taco gate" ......

Basically, any thread that goes over 15-20 pages May have some "gates" in them .....

Yes, I am now hungry too, but only because I had a little snack over 3 hrs ago.

I've so completely lost my hunger that I've been back on Clear liquids only for most of this week. Nothing is appealing whatsoever, and I 'm just riding it out to see where it goes.

I guess that makes this Watergate?

[OzRoo 1,492]

@@Hammer_Down

I had few months in the past where I lost my appetite, and nothing much was appealing to me either.

I had to make sure I had enough daily Proteins, though. I used to add Protein powder to my Chobani yoghurt, and still do it, to this day.

I long for those days now.

My hunger came back after 6 months, drats, so back to regular small meals for me. 8 months post op, and my honeymoon period is over for me ......

Speaking of which, it is almost dinner time in my neck of the woods, so I better eat something soon.

Good luck with your Watergate, I am sure you will ride it out. Just maintain your Proteins in this stage.
