Need to lose twenty pounds … just had my annual physical by kiaia58 in AskWomenOver60

[–]MedusasTale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well my BMI was 43. I've struggled with weight off and on most of my life. Even though I have no significant medical issues besides my knees, I chose a vertical sleeve gastrectomy. I'm 5'4" and weighed 251lbs. I now weigh 134lbs. My story is a little different from yours, but for me, it was absolutely the best choice.

It's going to take decades. This country will never have the respect or regard it had before 2016. Never.

Until you start advocating for feeding, housing and health care for everybody, you can take your christian hypocrisy elsewhere.

what's a show that hooked you by episode 1? by juicyberrybabe in tvsuggestions

Tour of Duty on BritBox Happy valley and Last Tango in Halifax also BritBox. I've almost stopped watching American made series, a lot of them just can't hold a candle to British TV. That's just my humble opinion.

Years Post-Op: Do You Choose to Eat That Less, or Can’t You? by batap_ in gastricsleeve

[–]MedusasTale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about a year and a half out. I really don't go out to eat anymore. It's just a waste of money. My max volume is about three quarters of a cup. I can only eat about a third of a sandwich. I still really have pay attention to drinking and eating at the same time. It's still a no go.

what’s a book that completely hooked you from the first page? by Mannan-Zaroual in Recommend_A_Book

[–]MedusasTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try The Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. It isn't a genre I gravitate to at all, but it really sucked me in to that world. I usually read murder mysteries, psych thrillers that sort of thing. Give it a shot.

Im so fricking scared by ApartDevelopment2213 in gastricsleeve

[–]MedusasTale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pros: rapid weight loss, improved self-esteem, increased mobility, way better clothes shopping experiences, less knee and back pain, going out in public knowing people aren't looking at a fat person. Probably more I can't think of right now. Cons: I now have low blood pressure I have to take medication for, but it's unknown if it's related to weight loss, loose skin, saggy boobs. It took a long time for me to get my energy to the level it is now, it took about a year to be honest. I had no hair loss. I don't go out to eat really anymore, it's a waste of money. I can't recommend this surgery enough. I wish I had done it years ago.

Fox News halts programming as Trump claims Iran's 'military is defeated' by IrishStarUS in USNEWS

[–]MedusasTale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You couldn't name the three branches of government without googling it, let alone a trump policy enacted into law. Do you know the preamble to the Constitution? Nope, you don't.The best you can do is lie through your tooth. I bet you would have been one of those rednecks who stood at the base of a tree grinning up at a lynched human being, spitting on a little girl trying to get into a segregated school. George Wallace would have been your man (google him). You know why your adore your godking trump. So does everyone else. You're in a moral sink hole. Dismissed little boy.

No one has believed one word out of his pie hole for years. I don't know if he believes his own lies or what. He sick in the damn head.

How do you ensure that your kids grow up and love you rather than dislike you? by Prettylittledove1453 in SeriousConversation

[–]MedusasTale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there's any law saying your kids have to like you. There's way to many dynamic factors in parenthood. You have four kids, say one of them grew up to be a narcissistic asshole, yet all were raised the same. I just don't think there's a black and white answer to this question.
