I tried watching Six Feet Under in high school and absolutely hated it. I found the stilted emotions of this WASP family just too annoying to deal with. I think I watched the entire first season before I gave up because they were all just such thoroughly unlikable people.

Tying in with our spacechat last week this is a loving great article about the hypotheses regarding why we haven't heard from any aliens yet. http://qz.com/452452/where-are-all-the-aliens/

Asiina posted:That is unrelated to surgery though. In fact after the surgery the reason they tell you not to drink is because a) alcohol is empty calories and b) because of your newfangled insides you get drunk much, much easier and it's very easy to go from food addiction -> alcoholism if you're not careful. Ok, I've gotta ask, what surgery did you have?

CapitalistPig posted:I'm wanting to watch sense 8, I've been hearing all good things about it. I have made several people watch Dollhouse and I think it's the most underrated Whedon show. I really loved the first part of Almost Human. I'm a total sucker for cyberpunk and for good shows that are canceled before they have a chance for greatness (see also flash forward) Whoever asked about where I was in Fringe, I'm on season four and just not enjoying it. I feels like they went back to the monster of the week formula and it's not satisfying like the last couple seasons were. It also lost the charming self aware sense of humor that I loved from the early seasons. It's disappointing to hear that season five wasn't good; I've been telling dude hey it seems like season five has more of an arc. I also should finish How I Met Your Mother, I quit watching that one somewhere in the second to last season because the characters got really mean out of nowhere.

Fringe made me annoyed, it's a show about a scientific genius written by people with absolutely no scientific knowledge at all; usually I am fine ignoring scientific ignorance or inaccuracies because it's hardly the point of the show and it wasn't written with research scientists as the core viewing demographic but I find it less forgivable when the show is literally about science and they were too lazy to crack open a book or google search poo poo to stop the supposed polymath genius fail at high school syllabus biology.

Hey I had a MGB on July 31 2009. So I'm always willing to talk about the surgery and how it's affected me since. So when did you get yours done?

Just last April, so I'm a little over 3 months out. I have my first real followup in a few days and I'm afraid they are going to yell at me because I'm terrible at taking all my calcium. I do have a lot of milk based shakes so hopefully that'll keep the levels up? I'm in a bit of a stall right now. Haven't lost anything in about a week and a half, but I'm not too concerned about it.

It's not a show about scientific genius. It is a show about an alternate universe where mad scientists are commonplace. When I realized that I was much more forgiving about the bad science stuff -- it doesn't occur in our universe, so scientific laws are different. I mean if you're gonna be annoyed at a show for their science not being sound when someone is able to share consciousness with a person in a coma by taking LSD and hopping in a sensory deprivation tank within the first few episodes, you are really really not watching the right show.

I do have a lot of milk based shakes so hopefully that'll keep the levels up? Yeah don't worry too much about stalls, especially just three months out. The first 6 months or so after the surgery tend to be streaky as your body gets used to the the surgery. So you'll go a week or so without losing anything and then the next week you'll drop like 8 pounds and you'll be wondering if you've a tapeworm somehow got implanted into you. Between 6-12 months the weight loss will be slower but it should still happen steadily. The real issue is when you you get a few years out from the surgery. At that point you've generally figured out what foods make you sick and what foods you can deal with and then you start eating a little more of the foods you can eat. Then maybe you try something that used to make you sick right after the surgery and find it doesn't affect you in the same way anymore and that's good but it's also a high calorie food and that's bad. So it gets to be a slippery slope. However, in the end it feels more like a 'normal' person who is constantly fighting those 10-20 pounds of 'vanity' weight rather than fighting a virtual mountain of extra weight so the challenge isn't as daunting. I actually need to drop around 20 pounds right now as I've gotten lazy after finishing a triathlon earlier this year. I've only gained about 7-8 pounds since then, some was weight I was carrying before it. I was horrible about doing my own followups, but you should be diligent because there are issues that can crop up.

I know a woman who had this surgery and every time I see her she has a giant rear end frappuccino and constantly complains about how she's not losing weight like she's supposed to.

Look Under The Rock posted:I know a woman who had this surgery and every time I see her she has a giant rear end frappuccino and constantly complains about how she's not losing weight like she's supposed to. Yep that certainly happens and it's certainly why I've gained weight back. Not from Frappuccino but from cookies/candy/soda. Old habits really do die hard and sometimes they come back. My sweet tooth demands satisfaction! The nice thing is that once you realize and correct the bad action, the weight loss should happen fairly easily. It's just that correcting the action can be hard to do. Weight loss surgery isn't a miracle cure, it just makes it easier (in some aspects, in others it's more difficult) to lose the weight.

Part of the reason I talk about it so freely is because I think some people think it's an easy way out, and I want to explain there is a whole bunch of bullshit that goes along with it. My issue is that I do not get dumping syndrome. Ever. I was kinda hoping it would help me find those things I couldn't handle, but everything goes through just fine. I get foamies once in a while, but that's not related to food as much as I didn't chew enough. So now it's just all up to willpower because there's nothing physical to say THIS IS BAD FOOD DO NOT EAT! Also drinking after eating is still a huge pain in the rear end and I have to set a timer for 40 minutes every single time to remind me. I've actually found sugar alternatives so very easy to find, so sweet things aren't a problem for me. I love sweet stuff, but between fruit and torani sugar-free syrups and things like sugar twin I'm able to get all the sweet I can want without any of the calories. What totally wrecks me and makes me crave it so bad are carbs. Rice and pasta and bread are so hard to give up. I've had a little rice and it's gone fine, but I think I need to cut it all together because I can already see the beginnings of that little bit turning into a little bit more turning into a little bit more. I think I do fine with potatoes once in a while, but I think that is where my biggest weak spot is.
