Well, I'm not sure if that's true or not. Everyone heals at a different rate, so it's hard to say if they started too soon or not. I can't, however, imagine WHY someone would 'cheat' on their post op diet. I was scared to death I was going to slip my band or something! Hell, I eat carefully even now, 2 months later! I didn't stick to my post-op because I was a model patient, I stuck to it because I was terrified not to!!!

Not me, I was super thin as a child. Then a normal sized teenager. Moderately sized young adult. Then I had a baby and it's been downhill ever since. Even though I've taken the baby weight off, it's always come back and more.

Try TJ Maxx and Marshalls. Maybe not the newest releases, but they have some cute name brand stuff for cheap! I got my very favorite jeans ever there for $20 and they are Tommy Hilfiger (I also just bought some TH jeans at their outlet for $20 - they are the one brand that fits me well!). I almost wept when they got too big for me, then I found a pair in my new size on eBay. Whew! Anyway, try TJ Maxx or Marshalls. :smile2:

I did buy a fatty seat, so I'm hoping it's gentler on my girly parts (see my other thread for why... =D)

Maybe I can get a litterbox and then put tootsie rolls in it. LOL

Well the first bit is obvious. The numbers and letters are because I have 4 boys and 1 girl. 4b1g. And this is my username EVERYWHERE. Dh says I just did that so I wouldn't have to have anymore babies (he still wanted one lol). Sorry, can't have one, will screw up username.

Well, it started with my husband and me making fun of him, but anytime I hear anyone say "all the sudden" instead of "all of a sudden", it irritates me. My way may not even be the right one, but it still bugs me when anyone says it not my way. LOL

R-O-F-L at that banana smiley!

You definitely don't need HIM in your life.

I think there's restriction and then SUPER restriction. I'm about where you are, no PBing or sliming or anything, but I definitely know when to stop eating! (I've had a couple things threaten to stick, but it was just a mild discomfort and then it went down). From what I've been reading around here, it seems like many people want to be tighter than what I am now, since I can still eat a decent amount, and I can eat most anything. But, I'm losing, and I rather like that I can eat what I want, so I'm happy here. I'm basically eating what I ate before, just less of it. And I'm losing steadily. So why make myself miserable? (I can eat about 1/3 of a restaurant meal - where I used to finish it and then stop at DQ on the way home). I am almost afraid to say this out loud, but I've never really had a hard time losing weight. Even when I cheated LOTS on WW, I was still down every week, just in small amounts. And I'm ok with that, because any weight down is the right direction. I'd rather be able to eat what I like and lose weight slowly, then to be super restricted and drop 3 pounds a week. My problem has always been seeing it through and then keeping it off, which hopefully won't be a problem this time. Boy did I ever carry on there, eh?

I must be threatening enough, because my scale seems to have started moving again after WEEKS of teasing. Whew!

It doesn't bother me so much that they carry them around in the car seats, because it IS much easier to be able to set them down to juggle everything else you do. I do, however, take issue with WHERE they set them down. I can't stand to be eating in a restaurant and see someone put one of those seats on a chair. That can't possibly be safe/stable. Yikes!!

These threads always make me feel selfish and guilty. I pretty much just indulge myself whenever I feel like it. :biggrin: I just assumed my reward for hitting goal would be plastic surgery, and that's really all the goal I need. I've wanted these boobs put back for YEARS.

What IS the size limit for rollercoasters? I told my boys I'd take them this year, but I wanna make sure I fit before we head out! LOL

You're my hero. I wish I had 1/8th of your motivation. Mail me some, will ya?

Frankly, I don't think they know what causes slips and what doesn't. So, some doctors are extra cautious, others are not so much.

No one really pays attention to what you're eating.

Shame on you for bailing on us just because you weren't losing! We're here to support you either way it's going! You have nothing to be ashamed of around us, we're all fat too! My first fill was good for about 2 weeks, then went to crap, so omg July! I hope it holds out for you!!!

Touche, Judy!!

Somewhere along the line I'm going to treat myself to all new underwear

Apparently it's a v-neck t-shirt and jeans. LOL. Although, to be honest, I'd like to actually look GOOD in a t-shirt and jeans. Novel idea there. So maybe my dream outfit is the same one I already have, just 5 sizes smaller?

256 the day I joined WW in August of last year. That's about 20lbs more than I ever was 9 months pregnant. Nice. I think I weighed in the 130s in the first bits of high school, but the least I've ever weighed as a grown up was 147. At 147 I looked like a dinosaur because I have an unusually large head. Big head - small body = not a good look.

I slept on my side, because I CAN'T sleep on my back. I found if I held a pillow against my stomach and then rolled onto it, that it helped a LOT.

They've knocked you down, but all you gotta do is get back up and try again! I never had the option of insurance covering my operation. I wish they would have, I'd have done whatever they wanted to save myself that $13k!

Yes! Everytime we go out to eat! They bring the food and I'm like "wth, that's a lot of food". I always polished it off before without a problem. Now that just seems insane to me. The might as well be walking the cow out on a leash to my table.
