I really enjoy the show. Every time I watch it though....have to wonder what Paula brings to the show. I would think they could get someone on that has more of an opinion. She seems like a girl that just can't say no.

I'm curious about who makes it to the top 24 tonight. I really liked the Brooke that performed with the keyboard (the Carol King/Carly Simon sound alike - not the beauty queen that got cut), but in the coming attractions, you see her crying on the elevator. I'm just hoping those are tears of joy.

There does seem to be a lot more talent this year, and so far, no Sanjaya wannabe, thank goodness :smile:

OK, I'm really excited about the top 24. There were a couple that I was surprised about getting through, but for the most part, I think we've got a competition, people!!!!!!

I love AI, but this year I'm hooked on Biggest Loser.

AI usually switches it's night when the 24 are picked, right? :cursing: If not I'll have to invest in DVR - again! I can't miss both!

AI & The Biggest Loser are great shows. I am a reality show addict. Although I don't watch ALL of them, I watch a lot of them. Yes, whoever doesn't have the DVR or TIVO, get it, it's worth it. However, I am super ready for the writer's strike to end so I can get on with my other non-reality shows as well, like Lost, Ugly Betty & 24 for starters.

The writer's strike is over, but they're saying it could be several more weeks before some shows are new again, with the exception of some sitcoms, and don't look for any new episodes of 24 for the rest of this season.

Well that sucks! 24 is one of my very favorite shows. I love me some Keifer. Well thank God at least the strike is over now.

Well, finally watched the selection show last night. Man they can relly be cruel to some of the people selected, making them think the decision was going to opposite way. But I am glad that the contestants I liked went through, like Brooke White. From appearances sake and of those who were highlighted, it does seem like it's a strong group. Let's hope so.

YOu know, I was a fan the first couple of seasons, then I grew tired of it.... but my family loves it, so I watch it anyway and I always end up getting hooked...., after it's over, then I never care for the winners anymore.... I guess I'm weird....

I'm just not into reality TV.....

I do think it's a good group though, it looks better than other seasons...

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
