I have read a couple of posts that mention being annoyed over celebrities who lose weight through surgery and will not tell the truth. For a few weeks now I have been really bugged by two people in particular one of the is Kelly Osborne. Here is why, she has been overweight her entire life she has talked about not caring on the reality show she was on with her family, then recently I see her on E, stick thin, except for her legs she is stick thin, I thought: "Man!!!!! How did she do this???" Then a magazine came out with her talking about how she did it, no carbs, gallons of water a day. Okay....but for some reason I wonder if she has at least had the lap band. Then yesterday the second one that I thought: "REALLLLLLY" was Wynona Judd, another one who her entire life struggled and now is looking thinner and thinner...she says she is losing tons of weight through electroneuro something therapy. Again I am happy for their weight loss BUT seriously if that's all there is to it then everyone else should be able to do it too. Who do you guys suspect of having surgery in Hollywood? Another thing I wonder is Oprah...she has never even once talked about it and she has the money and insurance I am sure to cover it. What's your take?

I am always researching the issues that plague us females and especially now since having surgery. I was watching these videos last night and enjoyed them so much I wanted to share them with you, Dr. Neal is amongst the best Dermatologists in the world. It is nice to hear it and to know that "every little thing, is gonna be alright!". If you go directly to his website, you can pick from a "menu" of things according to what you are concerned with and you just might find something there specific for you.

Amazing!!!! But you know what I noticed first? The expression on your face, TOTALLY changed, there is not way to measure that, you look fabulous and HAPPY! -
The more time passes, the more I realize that exercise is as essential to this process as protein and vitamins...the bull must be grabbed by the horn TODAY!

Goodbye to: Being a slave to food, avoiding looking at myself in the mirror, hiding in photos, head shots, being ashamed, not treating myself as I deserve to be treated-GOODBYE! A new days has come!

Is it a miracle or could it be the sleeve?? I got my towel to wrap all around me this morning after I showered and...even got to make a little knot! Little things like that used to bother me so much, I am feeling like a normal person. AMEN!
-
Yes I have a HUGE regret, not doing it sooner!

***What are you LOVING today? I am loving that I have begun seeing my collar bone!*** I know the French have a fancy term for it but oh well it's my collar bone! LOL

Just because we feel good, we feel happy, we feel "deserving" of happiness does not mean other people see it that way, the happier you become the more people want some of that for themselves, don't forget that and don't let that derail you from your final destination-LOVE to all!

Do Sleevers Smell Bad?
BZButterfly79 replied to crosswind's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
OMG that's too funny, I personally smell like Victoria's Secret but I know plenty of non-sleevers who smell funky so I can't say the sleeve has anything to do with it, I smell a lot better than when I was on Atkins ketosing myself to death! LOL I think I smell better than ever...less sugar less you know what-just keeping it real! -
Tomorrow is my day for a pedi, hair, and possibly some spray tanning-WHY? Cause I'm worth it! What is your feel good thing to do?

Stalls have become a part of my life much like protein and calcium citrate-LOL -
OH GOD! My mother is on the HCG protocol and calls me to tell she lost 20lbs in a month...then she adds: "If this works for me I want you to do it too!" (She doesn't have a clue about my sleeve) OH BOY! LOL

Sleevers with kids (particularly young kids)
BZButterfly79 replied to DisneyAddict's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
DisneyAddict, I am very passionate about this topic, why you ask, well I was a closet eater I never allowed my children or for that matter my husband to see what I ate when they went to sleep or when they were not around. Also I never allowed them to see the quantities either if you looked into my pantry or fridge you'd see nuts, whole grains, sugar free this and that, quinoa, veggies...etc. An example yesterday my children came off the trampolin and a big bowl of edaname beans was waiting for them they ate it like some eat skittles. When I was pregnant with my first son I swore I would never ever pass this nasty addiction to them so I did what addicts manage to do, I ate crap while going to work at work after work, late at night. If all we have in the fridge is salad I have taught them we must eat what we have sort of like in third world countries, you eat what is available. I love my children in every way other than with food this is part of the twisted psychology I learned from as a child, where whenever I cried or threw a fit someone stuffed my face. I talk about everything while at the table, "we eat tomatoes because they help fight cancer, "we eat brocolli because of the iron and vitamins", "we eat carrots because it keeps our eyes and skin healthy" stuff like that, if there is one thing in my life I take pride in is that my three boys are the picture of health, meanwhile I have doctors in the family who feed their kids pizza and hot dogs everyday...I do think the earlier the better, once they develop a REAL like or a REAL dislike for something God only knows how tough that can be. If this has not been a habit in your home and life you have to take charge and slowly begin to introduce things at the table, talk about why those things are important in the body get them interested. My kids are not heavy bread eaters, I took a piece of french bread once and put it into a glass of water and showed them how it swells inside and hardly has anything useful. They eat whole grain breads nothing organic cause #1 I think the point is getting them to like the taste first. Everything I eat post- op I offer them a bite, as parents it is our DUTY to show them the high road to health, I am sure as they watch you get healthy they will also pick up a few things. Also, potato chips, cookies, ice cream, these are things that they do get when we go out on the weekend not every weekend but we treat it as the once in a blue moon items so that there is no thinking that it's like eggs and milk gotta have it all the time. But the interesting thing about my kids is they look at the labels and ask each other and myself "mom is this full of fat"? "Is this too much sugar?" I am just sharing with you how my house runs everybody is different and parenting has no manuals but we do the best we can. -
BZ just got inducted into the dumbest sleevers hall of fame...BZ was thirsty you see and ready to check out at the grocery store sodas are too sweet for my new taste buds and the regular water 4 lanes down from mine...my best option PERRIER! Oh yah BZ bought Perrier, got into her car and proceeded to gulp once...twice and felt an explosion like pain in the tummy, nausea, let out the loudest burp her kids ever heard...needless to say DON'T TRY THIS! My Perrier days are over...bac...
