Why can't we ever be happy?? I am on the other end, I always had large boobs, DD's. Now that I am at goal, I still have DD's. When I was fat, they just fit me, big body, big boobs. Now I have a smaller body with the same huge boobs. I had a tt, so my stomach is really flat, so they even look bigger. Since losing my weight, I get accussed of getting a boob job a lot. I can't tell you how many people ask me who did my boobs and could they have the name of my ps. I always tell them, if they look that good, that you think I had them done, I'll take it as a compliment. If they only knew that out of my bra, they don't look so pretty. Maybe my next surgery will be a reduction and lift. -
I used to clean at night, I mean intensively clean and organize. Until my husband said I needed to stop that shit, he didn't need his underwear and sock drawers organized every other day.

I am a cronic insomniac, have been for years. I was taking Ambien, but had lots of scary side-effects. I am currently taking Lunesta and love it. If for some reason I forget to take it early enough and it is too late to take it, forget it.. I am up all damn night, just laying there, without being able to shut my mind. Then have to get up, go on about my normal routine, with no sleep, not even a minute of sleep.. horrible, horrible.. Love my Lunesta.

I didn't like him since he did that sabotagging (sp?) at the weigh in that one time. But yesterday I really respected what he did.

Well, just as I thought my little Kae got eliminated last night. I knew they would do that. I felt so bad for her, but I knew she would get to her goal at home, so all is good. Did you see how amazing she looked?? She is truly an inspiration.

Tell me about it, I'm a cronic insomniac, have been for years. I used to take Ambien but I had strange side effects. I would wake up to eat and not remember the next morning. I would wake up my dh for sex, would talk to people on the phone and drove to the store and not have any memory of it the next day.. Really scary. I switched to Lunesta and I love it. If I forget to take it I'm up all night, literally be up all night and have to go to work without sleep.

It happens to me when I eat to late and go straight to bed. Then I pay the consequences. I just have to remember to eat early and try to be active after dinner and not go straight to bed.

I too have to agree with you ladies.

PS price comparisons

I had a great experience and because the hospital is about 10 min away from the U.S. border, I figured if I was in any type of trouble or distress after the surgery my family could get me to a U.S. hospital quick. You would however be amazed to know that the private hospitals in Mexico are outstanding. I had a private nurse and the dr was in the same block as the hospital, so he was in about 3-4 times per day to check on me. I was well taken care of. When the attending dr changed my bandages for the first time, I freaked out when I saw how large my scar was and almost passed out and started crying (I know, I know). He sat with me for about 2 hrs and calmed me down and made sure I was okay. Now, how many dr's do you know that do that? probably very few. It was a wonderful experience, don't deny yourself the possibility of getting your make over in another country. The doctors are very qualified. Just MHO. -
Of course it will get better. But if you are only consuming 400 cal a day that might be why you are hungry. Are you taking in Protein?? During the liquid part of my diet I ate chicken broth, Protein shakes, stuff like that and that kept me satisfied. You might want to consult with your dr and check. I think anyone would be hungry with only 400 cal per day. Sometimes though I had to take a moment to not let my mind dominate my body. It took me time to realize that I was consuming smaller portions of food. And even though I was satisfied, the fact that I was eating a little made me think I was still hungry. I don't know if I'm making sense, but my head thought I was hungry because I was eating smaller meals. Even though the body was satisfied. Sorry If I can't really explain myself well.

Fat redeposited on bottom to make it look rounder. -
Too funny, last night I was laying in bed and was doing crunches.. Yep, I can lay there and do them and watch a little tv.. I'm a little sore this morning.
