I finally feel like posting something up..I am not quite in my completely after 'state' as I am planning plastics next year, but I am close. Before pic I am about 290 or so, this is three weeks pre-op. The second I am about 210. Today I am 196, a weight I have NEVER EVER EVER seen in my adult life.

I bet green is a terrible color on her. shake it off, what a turd! Maybe you can pass your old jeans on to her??

Girl, you gotta get on top of this situation. It is the current favorite in our bedroom! It is a great way to have eye contact and be able to kiss and be super close. I think just being open to new positions and clothing options (like lingerie) can spice up the scene in the bedroom.
And I agree with Arts137, give them all a try!
Good luck and I hope you have a great time!

I was pretty upset when I heard this, but I'll forgive her. She's had a pretty ugly history with her weight as well (she drops lbs by starving herself after her fiancé calls her fat)... So, I'll let her be green if she wants to.
I'm happy with me!

Sounds like a jealous close friend!

Seeing my collarbone. Buying size 4's and 6's. Not being the biggest girl in the room. Feeling like I am in control now, food is not. Someone referring to ME as being small, skinny or petite. The chubby girl inside smiles!

IndLawPub As OP said - too many things to say here make me smile

i "just" love being out and about in public - strrutting my stuff :wub: ,
going into a "regular" size stall at a public bathroom

I also enjoying my newfounded sex life :wub:

TMI alert!
Not to scare you but my experience with post-sleeve Constipation led to rectal surgery. I should add that I'd had intermittent problems with constipation prior to the sleeve. By four months post sleeve I had developed an anal fissure that would not heal and having any form of bowel movement was like pooping shards of glass. I ended up having a fissurectomy at seven months out and the recovery was nearly unbearable.
Everything is fine now because I take sugar free Konsyl fiber, one dose in the morning. I take it religiously because I never ever want to have that pain ever again. Also, getting in your Water will help. Taking fiber requires a lot of Water.< /p>
Best of luck to you!

I love Dr. Nick. My experience with him was wonderful. I sailed through surgery, no catheter. My RN husband had me up walking after two hours and every two hours after that. I, too, had left sided pain because that is the incision where the stomach is pulled through and it was sewn tight, so it pulled. But as soon as the weight started to come off the pulling sensation ceased. I didn't see Dr. Nick in the hospital after, but I felt very comfortable with the PA Brittany and the other house physicians I saw.
Good luck to you and you are going to be a success!

Its the best feeling, isn't it!?!?! So happy for you today, ya big loser, lol!

We just returned from a two week road trip to a family reunion in California. All of the family we saw have never seen me at this weight. The last time they saw me I was pushing 350 lbs. At the reunion I was 190 lbs and participated in every activity and most importantly, was in every picture taken. I am getting the pics printed off today and I am so proud of the way I look and how my mind, attitude and body have been completely transformed by this surgery! Don't put it off another minute!
Here is my family and myself at the incredibly windy Point Lobos State Reserve in Carmel, CA.

Ughhhh...wth...here's a throwback Thursday, although I guess it could be a throw-up Thursday as well. On the left you will see moi, two years ago last month. Note my facial expression, lol. On the right you will see moi two weeks ago, smiling on vacation with my fam. I just need to put this out there today. Finally taking charge of my health has been the best thing I have ever done...for myself. And for others, they get the benefit of a healthy, happy Karen.
