  1. I'll try not to take offense to all of your posts however- I can offer that what they want to know is 1). Are u emotionally stable 2) do u have a support system and 3) how likely are u going to follow thru with doctor recommendations It bugs me to hear my colleagues are not professional in their approach to this sometimes because I think it's a very important part of the process. Anyway- that's the reality of what they want I know about you. Just be you :-)
  2. Prayers for everyone ???? I can't wait to: Sit with my legs crossed again Make sand castles on the beach with my teenage kids to make up for time I refused to go the local beach Take full body shot pics Give all of my clothes away To hear for the first time in my life "you are thin!" For my husband to be able to pick me up
  3. My goodness- I've requested to let me stay as long as I can. It will be for sure 2 nights which means I'll push for 3
  4. That's hilarious!! Great minds..... Ok. Now what am I thinking?
  5. One of most frightening things that happened to me this summer was being at a local amusement park and my adolescent boy wanted to go on a roller coaster. I wasn't going to for different reasons but nonetheless they had a seat to sit in prior to the ride to see if you fit. No more measuring height. This time it was a matter if my fat ARSE would fit! Humiliating.
  6. Love it -- u look fabulous!
  7. Hillllarious thread! A great smile to start the day
  8. I get it as well. I'm not even anxious about the surgery yet because the darn waiting and insurance company has all of my anxiety. It's the worst part- it has to be. So we will make it thru this---- because everyone else did. Oh and I gained weight at every single NUT appt. I have my last one on Monday.
  9. Oh my- laughed outloud at that one! I hear you on the multiple Clothes sizes. I figure I'm good to go until I need 16's
  10. Thanks everyone- I felt so unprofessional today too- I love dressing up- its a perk of my job but I refuse to buy bigger clothes so lately I feel like crap. Blech. Thanks again .
  11. I have a conference this morning out of town for work which means COMFY clothes. However I'm looking around my room appalled because I don't really have any that fit comfy :-( Countdown to insurance approval. Prayers please..... Xxxx
  12. That was so inspiring to read!! I would have had to buy 10 pair!! Sooooo fun! I can't even imagine shopping in that section let alone a size 10. I'm with you- that has to be more rewarding than any chocolate chip cookie
  13. Awww so close to your big day! So excited for you. Nice to hear the positive attitude through your liquid diet phase. Your focusing on the end goal quite nicely and that will help you through the first few weeks after too from what I've read good luck!
  14. Yeah- I found myself getting irritated and ready to call her too sorry you had to endure this but you will get there and today is going to be a much better day
  15. Nice! Love them (and the new painted wall Hee Hee)
  16. No doubt :-). Yep- u can and will xxx
  17. What is that? I never heard of it and don't recall being tested unless it was in the many tests of the panel my PCP did.
  18. I second that! Thank you and good to hear you're doing well
  19. I'm hoping for sept too but I have no idea what you are talking about.
  20. Agreed. The people on my FB that I want to know Already know. That's all happy sleeven!
  21. Interesting question. I have no intention on posting but that just me. I think that's totally up to you
  22. I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to post something like this. You'll make it thru the weekend just fine . Yey!
  23. Laying in bed- reading posts etc- and I hear quite loudly (probabaly not but humor me) "do YOU have TOO much body fat?!?". How did they know?!? Hahahahahahahahahha - thought I would post something that made me chuckle. Happy Tuesday Less than one week to my last NUT appt!!
