Some for Thursday~

Hi guys.  I'm bored.  Instead of snacking I'm going to post some questions.  Answer if you dare....muwahahaha

1.  Are you a "people person"?  Why or why not?

2.  On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you that you decided to have WLS?  If you are pre-op, same scale, but how willing are you to do anything to get your surgery done?

3.  What is one thing that you think is going to change for you with the new Presidential administration?

4.  What's going to be on your Thanksgiving table?

5.  What is one thing that toally grosses you out?

Have fun.  Our goal is to get 3 newbies to post answers today.  I'm setting up a toteboard like they have for the telethons on Labor Day.

1.  Are you a "people person"?  Why or why not?  I am NOT a people person.  I get frustrated with stupid people so easily.  But I'm a good faker, so no one would know I don't like them.

2.  On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you that you decided to have WLS?  If you are pre-op, same scale, but how willing are you to do anything to get your surgery done?  3

3.  What is one thing that you think is going to change for you with the new Presidential administration?  Absolutely nothing for me personally

4.  What's going to be on your Thanksgiving table? Turkey, banana bread, pickles, two kinds of stuffing, salad, mashed taters and if I don't do any of that right, then Chinese food.

5.  What is one thing that toally grosses you out?  Anatomy type stuff.  The doc was talking to me about my "umbilical stalk" and I threw up right in the office.  I can't handle talking about tissue and stuff like that.  Ewwww.

1.  Are you a "people person"?  Why or why not?
 I am definately a total people person. I usually always attract people because I am very outgoing and like to socialize.. I have become more quiet in the last few months.. Just hiding myself more because of people and their meanness, immaturity, and getting into people's lives that they need to not be. 

2.  On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you that you decided to have WLS?  If you are pre-op, same scale, but how willing are you to do anything to get your surgery done?
I am at about a 7. I am happy to be this thin but I am still unhappy with my body image, and unfortunately no matter what size I am I will always have to deal with this.

3.  What is one thing that you think is going to change for you with the new Presidential administration?
I am happier as an American because I helped put Barack into office... I wanted change and that is good because I am hoping that within 4 years this administration can help fix some of the problems that has come up in the past 8.

4.  What's going to be on your Thanksgiving table?
There will be nothing on my Thanksgiving table since I will be at my mother in laws... I do not like turkey or Thanksgiving much.. I prefer Christmas

5.  What is one thing that toally grosses you out?
I hate bugs!!!! I see alot of gross things working at a vet's office... Just today the Dr removed an anal gland from a dog... It was not the first time I saw it so I was not grossed out. Oh and I have a weak stomach from vomit.

1.  I try.  No, really, there is some interest and good in just about everbody, but sometimes I lack the patience to get to it.

2.  At this moment, with a hunk of my dinner clogging my pouch, my number is lower than usual.  However, the fact that I am alive to answer the question takes me to at least an 8.

3. My politicaly-minded friends will have new focus. 

4. Cat hairs, as always.  No special plans to feast or to avoid a feast.

5. Chewing tobacco.  Google the lyrics to "Copenhagen" by Robert Earl Kean.

1.  Are you a "people person"?  Why or why not? It depends on how I feel...like talking to people but then love to be alone

2.  On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you that you decided to have WLS?  If you are pre-op, same scale, but how willing are you to do anything to get your surgery done? I say 10

3.  What is one thing that you think is going to change for you with the new Presidential administration?NOt sure- lots of things to change

4.  What's going to be on your Thanksgiving table? The usual food

5.  What is one thing that toally grosses you out? Feet

YAY, BREN-DUH! 

1.  Are you a "people person"?  Why or why not?
Depending on the situation, I can be.  I like people, but I also VALUE my space and time.  

2.  On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you that you decided to have WLS?  If you are pre-op, same scale, but how willing are you to do anything to get your surgery done?
Right now, I'm really happy that I decided to have surgery, three years ago. 

3.  What is one thing that you think is going to change for you with the new Presidential administration?
I'm waiting for my mortgage to be paid off and my free gas!  LOL!  I don't think much will change.  I respect Obama, but people seem to forget that we have had a DEMOCRATIC congress for quite some time.  Bush didn't do this all on his own!  Not that I think his policies are fabulous, but ONE MAN is not responsible for what is happening in our country right now.  Clinton signed the bill that repealed the Glass-Steagal Act and that led to HUGE growth in  sub-prime mortgage lending.  So....Democrats, Republicans....it's all the same anymore.  RHETORIC.

4.  What's going to be on your Thanksgiving table?
LOTS O' FOOD!  THE TRADITIONAL FARE!  I can't wait!  Yum! 

5.  What is one thing that toally grosses you out?
Hmmmmm...there are a lot things that have been grossing me out lately.  Some of the standards....like my coffee, my salads that I usually eat...most of the time, I'm pretty easy going about things. 

1.  Are you a "people person"?  Why or why not?
Am a people person, I like to help others, but some days there are just too many idiots out there and its gets annoying....

2.  On a scale of 1-10, how happy are you that you decided to have WLS?  If you are pre-op, same scale, but how willing are you to do anything to get your surgery done?
Since I am only 2 weeks out, I am pretty happy with it--lets say a 6, getting used to new foods and eating too much are the only downfalls right now. 

3.  What is one thing that you think is going to change for you with the new Presidential administration?
Not sure--maybe nothing, maybe something....

4.  What's going to be on your Thanksgiving table?
Turkey, stuffing, taters gravy--the usual (we buy it and my MIL makes it) 

5.  What is one thing that toally grosses you out?
Generally nothing, but lately it was the smell of my protein powder, gagged me like never before...

1. Some days I am and some days I am not. I enjoy being around people and being social, but I am def a scorpio and like my alone time as well.

2. An 8 - I am in a bit of a stall right now and that is frustrating. I keep trying to look at the positive picture and know that I would have never lost this weight had I not had surgery.

3. I am going to feel better about our country and where we are headed.

4. We have a very traditional Thanksgiving - turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, baked corn, cranberry, coleslaw and dessert. Although for the first year ever, my mom will not be baking her pies. My mother in law is bringing dessert and it will probably be store bought.


5. Pickles on my plate of food, especially the juice. I am really grossed out by the smell of pickles.
