  1. guys are weird. Mine said I looked like a beanpole and said he was going to have to buy me a new wardrobe. congrats on your compliment!
  2. He wont be disappounted!!! For one he will be excited to see his mom no matter what. There is no way he is going to be disappointed. have fun with your son! My hubby said "your gonna need a new wardrobe soon" lol
  3. I thinkbi have to make it up from scratch. Having a hard time trying to cut and paste one of the other ones. Will try and have it up by monday for us
  4. Hate to say it, but if hes your new Dr. then he might be looking to do a revision to get some money out of you Are you still losing weight at all? Be sure to get a second opinion before you do anything!! good luck!!
  5. I have lost a little in my face but I have a round shaped face, so not sure how much difference he will see there. He will probably notice the difference in "the girls" first. I think thats why he was ok with my weight before LOL
  6. I wonder if he will notice a big difference??? My hubby is living down in texas and has been since two weeks after my surgery. The last time on saw him was june 17th. I have lost about 10 lbs since then. Cant wait to see him, leave tomorrow morning
  7. Wow, thats pretty bad! I know chemo can be hard, but if it can save your life? Weird what people will say. The girl at my work is fairly big that made the comment. Its her choice on how she wants to live her life. This is what I choose and I will live with the drawbacks of the band because the outcome is going to be worth it. I feel better already!!!
  8. you will get there. it will sneek up on you one of these days
  9. When your towel will start to fit around you!! baaaaaaaghhhhhh!!!
  10. good, I will see what I can get done tonight
  11. I have 3, two that are about a 1/4 inch and one that is about an inch now. I can barely see them anymore.
  12. I start to kinda hiccup and if I listen to it and obey it, I will be fine. When you start to have restriction you really have to start listening to your body. still learning that part now, 3 months out.
  13. I wonder if we copy and paste one of the old forms?
  14. I have been pretty open about my surgery, everyone at my work knows about it. For the most part everyone is very supportive. Possibly a little jelousy, but not to bad yet. Anyway, I have been pretty tight after my last fill and I get stuck pretty easy. have to be very careful on what I eat. So yesterday I was eating a little bit of bbq ribs and got really stuck to where I had to get it out with my finger (i know yuuuck) but it hurt so bad... So I was telling the girls what I had to do (because they asked) and one of the girls said "id rather be fat than have to do that". I was like really? I wouldnt! Its not like I have to do that everyday. Its just once in a great while when it gets that bad... I usually just have to wait for it to go down, but if it hurts really bad, I have to help it get out That is like the only major side effect is getting stuck and id rather have that any day than be big again!
  15. laboe day challenge PLEASE !!!
  16. laboe day challenge PLEASE !!!
  17. Yuo, happens to alot of people! I lost about 15 the first two weeks and then stopped for about three weeks. and then your body will be getting healed and stop freaking out and decide to lose again. But you need to stick with the diet, dont get discouraged. it will come off. You will more than likely lose inches during this time!!!! good luck!
  18. No gas pains? Then u did do good! Pretty much after the gas pains go away (about a week) you should be home free pain wise. I still felt a little sore at the port site but very tolorable. Be thankful you had a good time of it and keep trucking along. good luck to you!
  19. Need a new challenge to work for! I have my private one which is my bday at the end of august. But need one I can be accountable for on here
  20. Congrats to you! I cant wait to get to 1/2 way. That will feel pretty good! I just posted the same thing about the way that I am losing. I get a fill and drop big and then play around with 1-2 lbs for awhile and then I will lose 1 lb a week for a couple of weeks a then I am ready for a fill again. Weird
  21. :rolleyes:Ohhh how I wanted to burb for those first few weeks. I remember it was about two weeks afterwards and I finally let out just a tiny one but it felt soooo goood.
  22. Ok, so I had my third fill on the 7th. I lost 6 lbs right away. And now I am playing with a pound up and down for the past week 1/2 now. Which really is irking me because I am 3 lbs from Onederland!!! I did this with the last couple of fills also. I lost really good for about a week or so and then nothing for awhile. Then in about two weeks I might start losing about 1 lb a week again. Weird!! Im averaging about 2 lbs per week still, so I am not to worried and I am still going down. Its just weird how it works like that. (or am I the only one) 202 Baby........ so almost theeeerreee
  23. Im in 16s and almost 14s right now (i tried a 14 on and I got it zipped) so I probably could go shopping at a normal store, but I want to wait at least 10 more lbs or so. I want to be IN a size 14 well before I go in. Its amazing how differently things fit at different stores! congrats to you! I hope you find a great dress!
  24. you look so tiny! I like the new pic!
