  1. I would put a little neosporin on it as long as doc okays it... as long as its not oozing you should be fine! Your body probably was fighting the drainage tube...it was trying to heal and the tube was in the way ; ) Let us know what the doc says
  2. If you'd like some of mine I will share : ) I'm ready to get rid of my big old amazon lady boobs lol Bring on a lift and C/D cup implants I'm done...no more DDDs please If I lose too much tissue I will get implants but even as a teen when I was skinny they were big so I'm hoping a lift will do
  3. I had mine out about 3 years ago...I only did local anesthetic...I'm not a fan of being knocked out unless necessary lol Try one of your local universities...they do the work for cheap because it's the students but they are being watched so you know you get good work...I had a root canal done for 200 They also will pay you and give you free work if you are their patient for finals week
  4. Hoping I'll get that back...nothing makes you feel sexier than when you are content with yourself! Way to go!!!
  5. Kinda like all the times I've fallen in the toilet when the lid was up
  6. I am an extremely picky eater and dont eat red meat or pork only chicken/turkey breast...fruits and veggies...with my braces it's hard to eat things like carrots and celery and I don't really like them cooked unless it's a stir fry... I don't eat hamburgers and fries...I'll eat turkey breast burger and fruit and a few baked chips... That is when I have the money...I'm honestly thinking of getting some chickens for eggs and getting a windowsill herb garden and planting fruits and veggies somehow lol The soil here in western Wa isn't the best to grow with..maybe I'll get some big planters
  7. I want mine gone!!! I will take a C cup over a DDD anyday
  8. So the past few weeks we've been living off little money and I never realized how much cheaper bad food is...I had to slack off my NUT diet and feel bad but bills had to be paid... Does anyone else notice how having less money has influenced your eating? When I had a great job I was able to buy organic fruits and veggies and eat low carb specialty breads but I'm making 25000 less a year than I did 3 years ago...I love my new job though and I hated the old one
  9. I've been reading your threads and have to say I love your NSVs...I come on here hoping to hear more "balls in the toilet" tales...being a girl and reading period stories isn't as fun I asked my hubby if his balls ever fall in the toilet and he laughed at me wondering where I heard something like this...luckily he doesn't have that issue but I guess it happens to some guy friends lol
  10. I am lucky with double insurance so I didn't have a copay...the 1.5 hour test took me about 20 minutes...no I dont hear other people's thoughts or other voices in my head...I'm not suicidal, I don't take a ton of laxatives (I don't want to poop all the time lol) I don't drink gallons of Water everyday (I have a hard time with 64 oz)...Etc etc The talking was about an hour I think probably would have been less had we not B.S'd about her lapband
  11. Im not sure where you are located but Amazon has work from home positions...it should say work from home or virtual location
  12. I'm not on liquids just eating small portions and drinking a Protein shake for Breakfast...I used to normally eat dinner and then snack the rest of the night... Wonder what will happen on liquid diet the week before lol
  13. So far I've lost 13 pounds since starting Protein shakes and following my NUTs advice....I met with her at the beginning of March.... I've switched from half & half in my coffee to 1% milk, swapped out the vanilla for sugar free, I'm still using up my regular white chocolate because I didn't want to waste it : ) I still crave so much food though and I'm still hungry!! I can't wait to be post op! I know I feel amazing that I've lost weight but I know if I don't have this surgery I will go back to eating like crap... Anyone else like this?
  14. I tried it and couldn't get past the smell....was the one I bought bad?
  15. I have been reading all these horror stories about leaks and don't know what to think... I'm relatively healthy no comorbitities I'm just fat...the surgeon said I should be a-ok but after googling too much I think I'm freaking myself out... Did anyone else do this and how awful is a leak? What are my chances?
  16. I had jaw surgery in Feb 2011 and was on a liquid diet for 2 weeks an then soft foods for almost 6 months...I still tend to eat softer foods since I have my braces but it's doable...I lost 18 lbs during the liquid stage but gained it back after a few months...I went back to my usual eating too much
  17. Anyone else a horribly picky eater? I honestly don't know how I'm so big since I hate so much food. The nutritionist kept giving me suggestions on foods and I just shook my head in disgust lol Here is what I will eat cause the list I hate is way too long... chicken breast, ground turkey breast, whole turkey breast, lettuce, tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes, bean sprouts, celery, carrots, green/red peppers, onions, kidney Beans, pinto beans, black beans, green beans, corn, rice, pickles, white/wheat bread, cornbread, spinach, halibut, mahi mahi (unfishy fish) I make tacos, chile, casseroles with chicken/turkey...I honestly could eat tacos everyday if I had them...pizza too I love sweets which is my biggest downfall!!! Although I did go to the store yesterday and walk thru the bakery twice and nothing seemed good...I like some ice cream, Cookies, etc One of the most disgusting things is ranch dressing...just the smell makes me sick to my stomach and I gag... That nasty nacho cheese people get the liquid kind is gross to me lol I can't stand mushrooms, olives, ranch anything, hummus, red meat, pork, radishes, cauliflower, broccoli, tuna fish, mayo, Alfredo sauce...anything rich and creamy is icky...sour cream etc
  18. Anyone else a binge eater? Maybe that's not the right word but I'm hungry all the time and can't eat just 1 bowl of Cereal...I was raised that way...I watched my mom gain to almost 350 lbs and my estranged dad is really big too... I grew up having to eat all on my plate or not eat until the next day...luckily I could hide food I didn't like so much in my napkin and flush it after dinner BUT it was still alot of food... Did the surgery help with anyone's food addiction? I'm set on doing it but alot of people bring me down and make me feel like a loser for doing it. My sister in law is larger (and a closet binger) and I see her son sneaking food and he's a large boy already...I hate to think he is going to grow up like me : ( My in-laws are all for it as they've both had weight issues...but we are also all food lovers
  19. I'm so tired of everyone telling me that if I just exercised more and ate less I'd lose weight!!! If it were that simple I'd do it!! I work from home and sit at a desk for 9 hours a day...I try to clean on my breaks and relax a bit after work. I have worked out at the gym and done slim fast/south beach (at different times) and I barely lost any weight! And then when I got disgusted and quit I would shove my face in self pity! I ate pizza tonight oh how I love pizza which is the worst thing I've eaten since seeing my nutritionist. If I didn't eat it I know I would be craving it more and eating more crap! I have gone to therapy and talked to my shrink about my weight...yeah it's a pain to be fat and it's not like with my giant boobs I can run... People tell me I should start walking which I can and do and then start interval jogging/running. Yeah if I didn't have DDD boobs slamming around I would. I was also told that heredity has nothing to do with my weight and it's an excuse I use! How hurtful! I am just not telling anyone any more that I'm getting a sleeve. I don't feel like I need to be ridiculed even more!!! If I didn't care I wouldn't be going to a nutritionist and I wouldn't be having surgery...
  20. I had a friend who decided to get banded and she quit talking to me a few years ago. It was like she cut out her "overweight" friends. Makes me sad!
  21. I'm hoping after surgery I start mine. I barely have periods and if I do it's just light brown spotting. I want babies so bad! I've gone to a few doctors but they just told me I'm fat (nice huh) and I had an ultrasound which didn't show cysts but my sister has PCOS and I have every symptom. Facial/body hair, no periods It sucks!
