Post your favorite motivational quote for all to see! I personally will be selecting my favorites, printing them out, and placing them in random places around my home/work so that when I least expect it, I've always got a little bit of inspiration. Here's my favorite... It's old but I think it bears repeating We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit. Aristotle

There's a chat room?

What one piece of advice or wisdom would you give someone considering WLS?

LMAO! - There wasn't a question in here - it's a Flame Free Friday Confession, I was just giving examples

I too am a tummy sleeper. I slept on my stomach in the hospital - the pressure alleviated the pain, until I had to get up! LOL! I've pretty much been sleeping on my tummy since about 2 weeks out - the body pillow to hug helped before then. It It could just be the removal site you're feeling. Mine started hurting about a week post-op. My surgeons PA said it was normal.

Sorry girly, you're not even allowed to flame yourself

Eating and drinking at the same time? Fill up on sliders for dinner? Have an adult beverage too many or too soon? WHO CARES?! Got a confession that's not sleeve related? That's OK, feel free to confess it! This is your place to confess without fear of judgement or flaming, so let's see what you've got! I'll start us off... I am NOT a morning person and require at least two hours awake before I can be considered fully functional. Every morning when I get to work (8AM) I spend at least an hour screwing around on the interwebs and checking email before I even *think* about working

I would say you should be fine after the fluids. I was having similar symptoms before I went to the ER for fluids but once I got out it was easier to drink, eat, and generally just easier to function overall. Hang in there girly! I've noticed that when my beverages are half frozen they're way easier to drink and it's easier to get my fluids in. Keep us posted!

have you thought about upping your exercise? Maybe add san.extra day or two at the gym and see if that gets the scale moving again for u.

I'm not sure how old you are, but once I do start buying clothes again I plan on shopping at H&M. ETA: H&M has stuff for like twenty-somethings... Haven't really explored too much since I can't shop there so they may have more mature stuff as well

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around, does it still make a sound? Probably, but the world will never know! Thursday Thinker is pretty simple, here's how it works... Post a topic, question, quote, whatever, for all of us to think about for the day. Again, sleeve related or not. And if you want to open up a dialog about your thinker or someone elses thinker, please post a separate thread for it so we can all enjoy the thinkers here Enjoy!

I did my first post op boot camp class tonight and ruined my nails in the process! Grrr!

I dunno about you but I'm an adrenaline junkie. Last time I was in Daytona (I live 30mins from it and am at the beach like every weekend from mid March - September) I tried to go on the Sling Shot (Bad A$$ awesome freaking boardwalk "ride") but I was too big. So I've decided that as celebration, next time I go I'm totally riding that freakin slingshot! Daytona's a lot of fun, you'll have a blast!

I thought about getting a tattoo on the inside of my wrist (In white ink so its discreet) that says "VSG 1/20/12 - No NSAIDs, No ASAs, No blind NG"

Look at you go girly! You're all sorts of shrinking! Where in Fl are you heading?

Thanks! I had my blood work done 2 weeks ago at the ER and they said everything looked good, and I just did my B12 injection this weekend, but I'll definitely have my Dr check my labs again.

I've got my 1 month today at 2:30 - Anybody have any questions they want me to ask while I'm there?

I have my 1 month follow-up today at 2 and I'll be asking this question. I'm dying to get back in the gym!

It's Wine and Whine Wednesday folks! So what does that mean? It means feel free to whine! Post any whine you want about anything you want, sleeve related or not. Let the whining begin!

Anybody else finding strange bruises on themselves now? I've never really been an easy bruiser but since getting sleeved I keep finding strange bruises all over me. Right now I have a thumb sized bruise on the inside of my wrist and a golf ball sized bruise to the right of my knee.

Amazing! Keep rockin that sleeve girly, you look fantastic!

I'd be interested in the 14s... Can you PM me please?

I was thinking it might be fun to shake it up a bit in here... On another forum I used to frequent we had fun things like Flame Free Friday Confessions, Too Cute Tuesdays, WTF Wednesdays or Wine & Whine Wednesdays, Unpopular Opinion Thursdays or Thankful Thursdays... And they were so much fun! What do you guys think?

I've see them but haven't braved them... Maybe I'll try the margarita. MoonSiren - I have a cabinet full of stuff (see pic) that my coworkers affectionately refer to as "La Bodega" but nothing in there appealed to me. I really wanted an ice cold orange Hi-C.

I hate pills (hence why I opted for injectible B12) so I use Implanon. It's an implant in my arm that's good for 3 years. It can be taken out sooner than 3 years, but since I got it last year after I stopped breast feeding, and we're not supposed to get KU for at least 2 years post-op, it works out perfectly! Definitely talk to your Dr about your options!
