Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I won't follow the herd any more...

Also, it is an "enter at your own risk" kinda thing....you are not forced to go through and read it to get to other info. You can avoid this forum entirely when you don't want to get in the mud. That is what I love about it.
Although, some people don't understand that. There was a massive fight a few months ago because some idiots didn't understand that they were adults, and as such, weren't forced to go into a thread they didn't like. THey were trying to get all RnR and Talk Lounge threads removed from the New Posts section.

Yep, definitely agree with that. I've not had more than two or three sips of beer in my life, which was (and is, for that matter) definitely unusual in the university world. I don't mind a glass of sweet wine (although, not my favorite) or a sweet cocktail, but I don't generally drink. I think a lot of people think I'm either a Mormon or a recovering alcoholic, since I always turn down alcohol.

I have a policy to never turn down alcohol. You see, just tonight there was a bottle of GREAT Mexican wine that kept calling my name.

"BubbleButt... ohhhhhhhhhh BuuuuuuuuuubbleButt, come over here Bubble."

Well, I couldn't be rude.

I don't drink either, I just joke about it. Due to advanced liver disease (credited to my obesity, not alcohol), I must avoid liver damaging things as much as possible. My doc says some people can be 400 pounds for years and keep a perfect liver, but some of us at under 300 ruin our liver.

I remember that. Those were the same people that didn't feel they were capable of ignoring thread titles. Of course, they were the folks posting the most.

It most certainly is. I couldn't care less. I didn't gain 150 pounds living vicariously through someone else. What are the odds that SandyR will give me permission to post her pm's? This is what OH says that I need to post them on the board. Ok, I'm almost 5 months post op and I had two Cosmos. I'm not following the rules. When will the band police arrive at my house?
Post them here, instead, and then link to it. You won't be breaking any OH rules, I don't think.

Oh, of course. And the ringleaders were folks who don't even come to the board anymore, at least not that I've seen recently. What the hell do they care?

So I have to tell you about this cool wine I have. It's from Mexico, limited edition, only a small amount made, and YUMMY!

This is going to sound weird but it's true. It's a red wine with a hint of cocoa Beans and fresh vanilla. Amazingly, it's quite good.

The store didn't have much when I was there, next time I go back I'll see if they have more but I kinda doubt it. I was supposed to go this weekend but the trip was canceled at the last minute. That leaves me and my wine.

Come to speak of it, that reminds me of OH, too. People can't just look past the single thread they don't like, they have to complain to the mods that it's "taking up too much space and being posted too often." WTF? It's ONE freakin' thread. Pull up your big girl panties and ignore it.

It all depends. If it has to do with Sandy it's pulled. Can't have truth come out, that would be a horror.

Don't forget the bashing posts that are obviously about Wendell or Dee or newbies they think are Wendell or Dee but really aren't. Those are completely ignored by the mods.

And yes, it would be so horrible to have the truth about Sandy come out. After all, warning anyone on the board about her would be impossible and mean, since that would be invading her privacy and betraying her trust. And we can't do that.

That sounds interesting. I love all kinds of wine.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
