Hah, ok I caught up with it.. still curious what your response is, but I saw what the OP was.. What'd you say?

Remember I told ya'll how I went thru and found all these customers' customers, and then blah blah, they made me send out a retraction today (an official one, drawn up by our old customer). It ends up this is all kinds of miscommunications. They do still owe us lots of money and we are still going to go after their customers--just a different way. So after I send out all these retractions, I am to keep going through all the files and go after the 'rest' of their customers but not use their name. The joys of my job I guess.

I think the thread got deleted because it was glorified spam and that is what I wrote. Too bad you missed it because you could have lost 2-3 dress sizes in 10 minutes, lol.

Then the poster (only 1 post to their name) got miffed and said they were a real person and I am shallow and sent me a personalized email to that affect, unbeknownst to them their email address shows up in my email showing they are from the same company that they are not advertising for and I called them out on it.

Not that big a deal, or even all that interesting . . . until luluc posts that she checked out their website and mentioned that instead of enhancing a person it looks like they are walking around with a full diaper. Not only is it ultra poochy in the back end, it is discolored, lol.

It was the combo of the ridiculousness of the post with the picture of the fanny molder that gave me the giggles because luluc was so dead on. It is under fanny shaper on this page: Creative New Image - Products

Heather- I know it's mean, but I'm a lil glad you're gaining weight because it makes me not feel so bad about mine. When I was crying about the weight I was gaining you were going "Oh I lost 2lbs this week!".. I know, I'm bad. Misery loves company?!!

Don't hold it against me!! Now we can lose it together :rolleyes:

Lol, I understand completely. I knew it was going to catch up with me eventually, I just didn't realize it would happen all at once. We can definitely lose it together :0).

Ok, I'm jealous. How did you swing a totally free trip and where can I get one???

Well my cousin works for a company that every year, the top sales person and a guest gets a trip to some exotic place. So, my cousin wins the trip this year, she asked her mother to go, but her mother doesn't want to. Crazy, but she just doesn't like to travel. My cousin then asked her DH, but he just had shoulder surgery and really doesn't think he will be up to it, plus he HATES the sun. Crazy man! So, I was her third choice, lol. I really don't care that I was her third choice, I'll take it.

We're staying the Cancun Palace, which is a 5 star all-inclusive resort. I'm totally thrilled. Hopefully I'll get my passport in time.

My DH is very nervous about me going because the US has issued a travel alert to Mexico. I'll be careful, I'll just lay on the beach and sip my drink. :rolleyes:

Sunshine,

That's a nice resort. and when you stay at one of the Palace resorts you can go and enjoy all the palace resorts. I believe 5 of them. We honeymooned at the Moon Palace and have been back 2 more times since. It's nice to be able to take the shuttle to the other palace resorts for a change of scenery for a day. We had the all inclusive and you get all you can eat or drink at all the palaces also. This last time I didn't eat a whole lot. I enjoyed the resort more because I wasn't focused on eating anything and everything. They also have free tours you get to choose from that some are fun to do.

Okay I feel left out, nobody has beat me up over a post, although I think mentioning $^()&%# made Susie almost write me a hate note!!! I don't see anything when I click on it.

Okay I went to get my fill, and it is really interesting how they do fills. They do it standing up. Of course when she pokes me I am lying down, but then I stand up and she fill me and then watches in a barium swallow till it is the right fill. She originally put in 1 cc then took .2 out, then .1 out then another .2 out. Interesting.

I have another headache!!! This sucks!!

Have a good night!! I am excited both DWTS and 24!!

Heather - that contraption looks more like a torture device than an undergarment! Aaaack!!

Speaking of *$#! posters, is ol' whats-her-name still around? My nemesis and I can't even remember her name...but you all know who I"m talking about, right? (brain like a sieve...argh)

Heather & Laura - uh, aren't you supposed to gain weight during pregnancy? Oh yeah, I remember those last two months stepping on the scale and going :laugh:

Yep, I gotta change my ticker too. :tt2: I wish we could have bottled that enthusiasm we had at the beginning...I could sure use some of that right now.

Getting myself up and ready to go to the surgical center. My Mom is having her hand operated on this morning. When she bends her middle finger, it stays bent, she has to pry it open, and it is painful, so they are fixing it this morning.

Not sure that I will be of any help, since I will have Kinsey, but I will be moral support--and someone for Dad to talk to while she is actually in surgery.

I am about ready, needed to print out an envelope so I can mail a payment today----then need to go get the girl up. She is not a good early riser! She grouches her way in to the day when not allowed to wake up on her own!!! LOL, she can go back to sleep in the car on the way over.

When Rick just left for work, it is cold and reallllllly windy out there. Lovely! I come in,and chose clothes for both of us with that in mind. Think we will do a ponytail day as well, and avoid windblown looks!!

So, will check back in with you when I get home later today.

Oh yeah, Rick survived round 2. Although one of his supervisors got laid off as well as 4 guys at the same level. So still holding our breath. He is on jury duty, and says he hates that---the last thing they need to know is that the place can survive without him!!! LOL

Talk to ya in awhile.

      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.
