For V-Day, we're seeing that movie. Total chick flick and I don't feel guilty for dragging him there.

I liked the book - it helped me end a very bad 6 year relationship.

The book that helped my relationship the most was "Where the Wild Things Are". Sure, it's a little simplistic on the first read, but on closer inspection, it's very deep. I also highly recommend anything by Seuss, but especially "Green eggs and Ham"

Deep, you don't even realize how deep Where the Wild Things Are is. I read the book in the mid 80's to late 80's to my daughter. Fast forward to 96. We get a Westie, I come up with the name Mischief. Fast forward 6 or more years, and I pick up Where the Wild Things Are. I thumb through. Max's dog is a Westie, well isn't that cute. SIT DOWN FOR THE REST OF THIS.........

MAX WAS SENT TO HIS ROOM FOR MAKING MISCHIEF.

OMG, OMG, what are the chances of a Westie and the word mischief being in the same book. That book is not only deep, IT CHANGES YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Seuss is my all time favorite author. I love reading his books out loud. He was pure genius.

My DD used to love me to read Dr. Suess to her, until she discovered the poetry of Shel Silverstein---then she was addicted to his books---she now reads them to her DD!!

Plain you surprised me though, none of the Dr. Suess we read had a Forum section.......

Dear Seuss,

I never expected this to happen to me. I was hitchhiking in the mountains when a carload of cheerleaders stopped and asked if I needed a ride...

Seuss is overrated. It's easy to rhyme when one simply makes up words. I tried that and got a C in freshman English.

I will not do it in a car,

I will not do it near and far,

I will not do it, firm I am.

I will not have blue balls and Pam

      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.

      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.
