Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
I had a lot of odd, silly thoughts before my surgery, and every once-in-a-while they pop up again. Have any of you had any strange thoughts about things you may never be able to do again (that probably would never happen anyway?!!)? These were some of mine:
--Hello!--There goes my chance to be on "Survivor!!" They practically live on rice and have to eat other things that could be questionable to my stomach! I know they are given vitamins, but not sure I could take all I need! Also, they don't get enough fluids. But on the other hand, maybe since I don't need to eat as much I would adapt better?
--Same thing with "Amazing Race." I thought about this last night as they had 12 minutes to eat a huge schnitzel and chocolate cake (yum). Fried food and sugar? I'd be out in 30 seconds! Guess I'll have to find another way to travel around the world :)
--What if I get kidnapped in a foreign country and I don't have my vitamins and all they feed me is rice?
--Ice cream taster! Always sounded like the dream job, but I guess I'll cross that off my list now.
--Competitive food eating! Okay, maybe not something I aspired to, but occasionally I thought I could give Adam Richman a run for his money! Totally out of the picture now...lol
Well, you get the picture. It's possible I'm just weird!

I am only to excited to be ordering clothes from this particular Yoga company here in Canada called Lululemon... it's heading into the US. Cannot wait to be strutting around in my tights and hoodie!
Love this post!
OR NOT MARRY HIM AND PRACTICE MAKING CHILDREN WITH HIM.
I LOVE THAT MAN! Just saying ... :)
majickaljenn--Oh, that's one I forgot!! I always thought I would lose the weight eventually with WW and become a leader! Guess that's shot too!
snikahs--Adam is cool, true, but could you watch him eat all that food?! I get a little weird now watching people eat huge amounts of food (i.e. more than I am currently eating!)
Thanks for everyone's responses--love 'em!
I just wonder if I'll ever feel like shit again?
I wonder how many times I have to climb Mt Whitney before I die?
I wonder if I'll ever be the fatest fuck on the beach in a speedo?
I wonder if I'll ever be able to wear my 50" pants again?
I wonder if I'll ever get up eat breakfast and have to take a nap because I woke up 99 times per hour?
I wonder If I'll always have to wipe my ass just because I can?
Most of I wonder what kind of human being who could live a completely normal active healthy happy life would want anything but this? When I see these idiots that don't think they want this life I actually feel sorry for thier fat asses!

great post for a Wednesday morning in Mexico.
I came super close to getting on the show once. I sent in a tape, was selected, then was flown a few places for some on camera interviews. Made it to the last round and was cut -- most likely because I didn't have a partner. Since then, one of the casting directors has e-mailed me periodically telling me if I could find someone to be my partner then there is a good chance she could get me on the show. I tried to talk my mom into it but she didn't want to and unfortunately everyone else in my life is thin.
My mom recently said she now wishes she had agreed to do it with me. Oh, well. Wasn't meant to be. In any case, most of the people from the show end up gaining their weight back. And, if I had gone that route I never would have met all you wonderful people.
Everything is as it should be, yeah? :-))
Love, Jenny
