I can think of a few men in my dreams :)

Great job with the birthday celebrations! That's tough to do! (I had surgery on my birthday so I have an entire year before that issue comes up :-p)

I can say that I've been on the CA board (minus the last year or two) since 2003 and have found nothing but support here.  Congrats on your surgery.  I also had Dr. Coates and just hit 7 years post op.  I can answer questions as best I can if you need.

The good - Pre op class tomorrow, and 10 days out from surgery!!!!

The bad- stupid people who do not know when to shut the heck up when talking to you about your weight loss, especially when they ask you stupid **** like, "Whos the man you are doing this for?"

I am super excited and have my life heading in the right direction, until I meet stupid people who say stupid ****  I dont need to do anything for a man, I can do this FOR myself thank you very much.  I am however, trying to be a little more patient - patience is not my virtue.  I did not choke the hell out of the person who all interested in my weight loss.  Now, mind you I have told everyone I am close to (this woman NOT being one of them- for this reason - her obnoxious comments about it being for a man)  Not my freaking fault she has to do things for a man and had gone trolling in the cesspool of men we work with.  I dont, and wont do that.  I dont **** where I eat - thank you very much!

(btw didnt gain a lb with my birthday - YAY!!!)

Thanks for letting me vent/rant!!

Congrats on your sons wedding .. Mine was married in December and I have an AWESOME new Daughter .....Blessings

 I totally understand.
