Wolfgirl1978

I met someone online. Not a dating service though, it's through a zombie game I play. Lmao. Anyway he's great. The only drawback is that he lives in California and I live in Louisiana. He flew in last week and stayed for 6 days was awesome. I'm flying out to visit him in California in October. Anyway he has seen all my fat Facebook pictures and is okay with how I used to look. Before we shared Facebook profiles and when we first started talking I was not going to tell him about WLS, but he told me he has been divorced since 2008 because his ex wife had WLS and became a crystal meth addict. So in light of that info, I felt I should be honest.

Lol

Surgery went well' date=' but last night was one of the worst nights of my life. I was going to ask one of the nurses to put me out of misery. I had horrible gas , vomiting, and hiccups all night. My stomach was so soar that I did not sleep at all. But as soon as she took my catheter out and took me to shower it was a miracle how much better I felt. Today truly is a new day! Officially a sleeved![/quote']

I remember the first night as being hellish too! But it gets better and better every day. Congrats on being sleeved!

Wow!!!!!!!!

You look fantastic!

Great job!

I am sitting here waiting for surgery and it was great to see this post!

Thanks

I hope your surgery went well

You look terrific' date=' and I'm not just saying that because you're heavily armed.[/quote']

Thanks BTB!!

Good for you and your pro-athlete. I'm hoping to land one of those myself , lol

Thanks to you all!

Knowing for years I was the "fat" friend everyone tries to stand in front of when pictures are taken because I have such low self esteem. Knowing that one day I want to ride the rides at Six Flags with my future grandchildren. To stand beside my daughter the day she get's married and not be embarrassed by the way I look. To walk beside my husband and make him feel proud of the person he married 28 years ago....to live again and not be embarrassed that I can't fit into airlines seats' date=' booths, seats at sports events, movie theaters. In the end there is so much more to life to see, touch and explore in this short life that we live....I long for the day I can walk into any store without going to the plus size department pick out something cute and it actually fits...that day tears will be shed. The day people notice me instead of saying your so funny, your face is so pretty, etc.....[/quote']

I can totally understand everything you wrote in the post. Things will get better I promise

That is awesome! What a great way to Celebrate. Congrats!

Thank you!

Glock or M&P ?

Well I hope you post pics I'm nearly 8 months out and ready for my magic mike 2 audition... What part of Louisiana? I'm from Orange Tx right on the border of TX and LA

Really? I live in Sulphur, LA. We are neighbors. Lol

And I'm very pumped, I leave Monday on a cruise with other women I met on these boards to Celebrate our one year sleeve anniversaries. I'll be rocking my new swim suits

You look great and so does your fella!

Thanks, but he's not my fellow. Just my gay best friend. Lol

Hey wolf girl where you from?

Louisiana

Hey single sleevers, checking in with y'all. Today is my one year Surgiversary. Yippee. Best decision ever!

Thank y'all

Today is my Surgiversary. One year later and 101lbs down. Best thing I ever did. Photos on left before, on right after

I just bought some swim suits at Kohl's. I was very pleased.

I have never understood why people are so passionate about being straight forward about having surgery, or not. IMO it's a personal choice. You do not have to tell people about every medical procedure you undergo, and frankly it's none of their business.

I have ended up telling people, that was my choice. But I can see why people would not tell others that are not in a need to know basis. People are hateful. I spent a good amount of time reading a thread on mfp that was bashing WLS patients.

No matter what choice you make...it's your choice

I am in Shreveport' date=' and just learned about Dr. Borland....driving down to New Iberia on 5/28/13 to check it out...Skeptical but I did search him and have not found any negative reviews. Curious to know what you think of him?? Will let you know my opinion after I go there in a couple of weeks.[/quote']

A few people on here used him. Haven't heard anything bad. I think he's so much cheaper because you recover in a local hotel and checks on you there

I have been stuck at the same weight since February. I actually fluctuate between 178-180. I log all my food, stay around 1200 calories a day, exercise when I can. If I can't go to gym, I try to get my 10,000 steps in daily on my fitbit. On days I workout my weight spikes up. My goal weight is 160, which is on the high end of the normal weight range for my height on BMI chart. I also get all my Water in. I'm also upset that because of me being stuck at a certain weight, I'm standing at 98lbs lost and cannot make it to century club. Ugh!!!

My one year surgiversary is on 06/12, and unless there is divine intervention I will not have made it to goal by then.

I really like to drink Crown Royal Black label and Water now. Gets me drunk off my ass quick. I used to drink every weekend on Friday or Saturday night but I'm on strike until I lose my last 20lbs or until my cruise in June

I have had a procedure done on 4/26/13 and wondering if I can smoke.

No

Curious if anyone feels the way I do. I feel I have no social skills dealing with the opposite sex, I think it's because I isolated myself from others when my weight was high all these years.

Just checking in with all my fellow single sleevers.

Patrick congratulations on your success. So proud of you!!!
