Dear Lord this sounds divine, and since we eat garlic and onion and bell pepper in almost everything, it makes it even better, thanks for posting. You are an angel!!!
Topic: RE: I must admit it! I am a thread stalker
We have ALL been there and done that with the thread stalking.
For me, "stalking" instead of posting is more about the TIME factor. I have time to READ posts any day of the week... RESPONDING to them takes time. I also hesitate to respond to some posts if I think I'll get too many responses to MY response (hence more time involved responding to THOSE responses). And I'm long-winded which makes it even worse.
I've even got to where if too many people respond to me, I just say "This is the last time I'm responding on this thread." Then I let them just say whatever they want. I'll read it, but I'm not responding anymore. Who has time to do that on all the boards all the time??? NOONE!
So I totally get where you are coming from. When the holidays are over (and my vacation time over), I can totally see myself going back to stalkerville!

Topic: I have the flu!
Couple a days ago I thought I just had a sore throat, then the headache started and then the green drainage, ok so I figure sinus infection, try fighting it a couple of days.................I woke up this morning with so much achy pain, my throat, my head, all over pain and the green yucky stuff, broke down and went to the doctor.................results:
I have both type A regular flu, H1N1, sinus infection and a right ear infection!
So I got a shot in the booty, and 6 scripts and holding the couch up.
I hope everyone else is doing better than me!

Topic: RE: Monday type of Poll
Hi Wendy,
It's taken me all these days trying to think about what has been the down side of my WLS. Guess if it's taken me this long, there can't be much!
I agree with you that the toll of long term obesity on my body is tough, although my knees aren't too bad, except when I try to climb stairs and I can hear bone against bone......eeeekkkkk!
As you know, maintenance is my bugaboo right now. For so long if I got too busy at work and didn't get a chance to eat I could lose a pound in a day. Now, I'm fighting an 8 lb gain that has me ripping out my hair. Honestly, I didn't think maintaining my weight loss would be this hard, even though I was warned about what could (and does) happen at about 3 years out. How could I gain 8 lbs in 3 months? Well, apparently by not eating enough! Yep. I was warned and didn't listen, now I'm paying the price. Thankfully it's pocket change compared to a whole wallet full of $10 bills! LOL
Body image is still a problem. I still don't see myself as small as I am, and mentally, this gain has made me feel like a failure (see, aren't we a sick bunch?) on one more diet.
So, there you are. Thanks for these thought provoking topics. Looking within youself is always a good thing!
Love ya, Honey!
