Zombie outbreak in New York City



Recommended Posts

First off, this has absolutely nothing to do with gastric bypass or weight loss surgery.

I read through my morning newsletters and came across this article. Apparently there is a new synthetic cannabinoid that is 85 times more powerful than THC, the main mind-altering ingredient found in marijuana. It puts people in a "zombie-like" state: staring blankly, moving and responding to medics slowly, and occasionally groaning. I think this synthetic cannabinoid has the nickname Spice, which is probably after the book/movie called Dune.

There are many addictions in the world. Some are addicted to overeating while others are addicted to becoming zombies.

It's a little comical how the article stated the people as victims. Unless they were forced to smoke it, I don't believe they should be called victims. Victims are domestic abused, child abused, etc.

Other than that, any addiction can kill. But the synthetic one is just ghastly. We've got a problem here in my city with it too, especially teens. We always hear of someone dying from it.

Well as long as they don't start eating people's brains and spreading a virus, I guess it's okay how long does the symptoms last?

This is old news. People were using spice on the west coast 10 years ago when I was in high school.

It's bad stuff and can kill you. I never touched that stuff. I've been using marijuana since I was 16 though and have never had any issues with it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
