Great Post!!!! THANKS.....

hi lee ... how did the surgery go just wanted to know .... praying all went well... i would love to go this summer and have some work done ...

I could see how you could say that... Especially since it is hard to take in fluids. Hope you get well soon...

(Sighing and shaking my head) ...The sleeve got my boobs too...Ya'll

They use to be nice firm, full, and round like grapes ... hunnie- they look like raises... winked, shriveled, ( just a shell of WHAT USE TO BE ) and don't let me lay down.... they just disappear.altogether unless i hold them in the place where they are suppose to be. They were so nice before hardly ever had to wear a bra, and now i don't want to take it off ... my boobs look better with it the bra on.

from 42D FULL to 38C EMPTY... ( Sigh)

I'm defiantly getting new boobs ...

congrats... you look great and hot ... yea great and hot .... um hum .. great and hottttttt... yep .... you should defiantly post more pics ...

In need of some serious motivation... I've be struggling really bad for a few days now ... more than half away to goal and no motivation to do anything ... stuck in the house and eating my *** off what is wrong with me .... i have no focus, no drive, and no motivation .... something gotta give...i hate the thing that happens in your head were you look OK and feel OK and that good enough and that truly isn't enough ... This surgery was expensive ( I was self pay DR ACEVES NOT CHEAP AT ALL) and I want to make it to goal and get my Tummy Tuck and new boobs so what's wrong???? ... where is the drive i use to have ??? Am I by myself ???...Does anyone else struggle with this??? how do i get back on track???? ... I've got way to much invested in this to just give up now ... words of wisdom and encouragement - greatly appreciated ....

Loving this thread !!! keep them coming guys ... very nice pic-all of you.... Amazing transformation!!!!!!!

Own it girlfriend .....I love it ... you look fab

That's cuz they are hungry and we are (generally) not!

LOL!!! that's so mean ... Must admit- I was much meaner and hungrier on Weight Watcher and lost very little weight ... I love my sleeve... I've lost lots of weight and i'm not hungry or mean anymore!!!

Congrats!!! that's some weight loss keep it up you're making all of us proud ....

: ) doesn't that just make you feel special ... were all ear - so keep us posted... he just may ask you out ...

GREAT JOB...

Ha HA ...I LOVE IT CATCH FAT OR SOMETHING ... TOO FUNNY LADY ... HA HA !!!!

Yes people treat me differently. I have" friends" who have fallen off the map, and I have never heard from again. Apparently I was being used just to be the fat friend.

One situation in particular really showed me how different people are around me now, even complete strangers. I was waiting to have lab work done. It was pretty empty, seats all around were empty, but people actually came and sat right next to me. It's happened at the doctors, the pharmacy, so many different places. And ya know, it bugs me. I was invisible when I was fat and it wasn't just because I made myself invisible, it feels as if people were scared they could catch the fat or something. *sigh*

Things changed with my husband too. He has become protective over me which he was not before. He is more affectionate. And again this bugs the snot out of me. I know he is a man, and men tend to be visual creatures but really it's hard to take in.

Now it's at the point that I have to adjust to the differences and I have to work on myself to not be angry with the differences I see from other people. I will tell you this much, after seeing first hand how different society treats obese people I will go out of my way to make an overweight person feel welcome and loved because I know how bad it hurts.
