Though I have not expeienced the cancer deal...my doctors have told me for years to lose weight lose weight....well hello if I could lose weight don't ya think I would have done it without them telling me? The whole child bearing thing would be yikeola because if you already had children wg deal to get historectomy....but the child thin is clearly a challenge. I would lovensided removed so no more Aunt Flo visits, but I have 5 children and 4 grands....harsh choice. I will keep you in my prayers to help you make the right decisions.... The surgery is an amazing tool, that will forever change your life and your way of thinking. I think I would have optted to endure a pregnancy first prior to surgery but all is good. I will keep ms. Robin in my daily prayers to make you successfull in all of your choices and surgeries and being blessed with a new little life when the time is right for you....

Wean yourself now, as caffine withdrawls are bad...and better healing with no caffine....also no soda unless it is flat and then "What's the point"? Also diet soda has so much bad in it even though it has 0 cals...enough sodium to smell a balloon... Try vita waters, they even have then in ZERO if you cant afford the 50 cals., decaf Iced Tea, I have even learned to drink it with no sugar or sweetner

You go girl.... I have now lost 104# and I have a whole new sence of confidence...As I see myself walking down a windowed hallway I see my "new" shadow...and think to myself "hmmm you are looking pretty good!" Before I would see the shadow and wish I could run the end so I wouldn't have to look at the nasty shadow blob... I know I am still 94# over goal and when I finally get there well hell's bell's....I'm gonna party! I now have men approach me and ask for dates, dinner and more...(however, I'm married)lol. I have younger men tell me if I wern't married they would wellllll you get the point... New confidence...It is wonderful! Good luck with your Sleeve!

Surgery on Monday out of Hospital Thursday at 7 a.m. Slept most of Thursday with the occasional get up and walk walks...then Friday went to the Movies with my sister and nephew, then Saturday went to the El centro Fair and toured all my nephews entries, Sunday I went to church and flew home to Oregon ...Monday morning I drove myself home while my hubby6 slept in the passenger seat! Drove 2 hours and went to work for the remainder of the day and then it's all history from there! Work work work.... I had my surgery in Mexico and there was literally ZERO pain associated with my surgery....AMAZING my surgeon was a master and My master had his hands on him during my surgery....The Lord gave me a great surgical teram and placed his healing hand upon me....

MGM....Love ya chickie...new friends can be very supportive especially when they understand and have been or are wearing the same shoes, as uncomfortable as they may be. I love my husband, but I NEED for him to love me fat or thin...not just thin... and not just on his terms.... I have not taken offense to ANYTHING anyone has written, in fact almost the exact opposite...everytime from here on out, when my hubby does something to disrespect me...I am going to think of a wild Grizzly Bear....LOL Thanks Patric...I will tell you the first real good belly laugh I have had in a flipping long time...OMG it was so funny I had to share with my friends who watch me and my sadness with how my hubby treats me. So Thank You for a well Needed laugh...
