No game

I was Nov. 13th 2012!

great news pinky! I like seeing people revisit their posts made during a trying time, and giving an update. And such a happy update too.

Fine you posted twice... All answer twice. Oh, I must say first mind the forum rules, Double posting is a no no Well my first thought on that is remembering a girl a couple of months ago, that came out and said she thought most people here looked better on their "before" pictures... Yeah, she's not here anymore! But really? Yes, if we lose a bunch of weight AND pretty fast as with this surgery, there may be a "sunken" look and thinning hair. But the hair will come back and some skin will shrink back over time. The teeth? I suppose if they were jacked up before they will still be jacked up! This surgery does not turn us into super models. Well except for me. I went to Mexico and paid an extra thousand for that package

Lol, you could spray some cheese whizz in it!

Me snarky??? Dude I was going to tell her to have at it... Dang eat the box! I betcha that **** will slide down real easy!

You know the food funeral thing is a tough one.. When I knew I had a date I went to the store before my pre op and picked up a pint of some kind of ice cream (can't even remember the flavor how sad) went home and ate half of it that night and finished it the next day.. After I ate it?? Nothing, it was just gone it didn't feel special it didn't make me feel better, in fact it did nothing for me except make me feel crappier about myself... Fast forward to today, I can eat normal again so if I wanted a bit of ice cream I could. So I guess what I'm saying is don't sabotage yourself with thoughts of "I need to eat this now because I can never have it again"

Feed that was me too! I think my biggest moment for me was taking my husband to my first consult with the surgeon and weighing myself in front of my husband! It was scary but freeing. And a shock to him because, bless him he never saw me "as that big" and thought I didn't need surgery. It's funny it's almost a NSV... Letting him see, no he knows my number daily and is my biggest cheerleader

Hold on......I'm "friending" you right now so I don't miss out!

Lol no! I was talking about the naked guy wearing the red tie up there!!

Oops! I meant to delete that post! But I got sidetracked! Damn ADD! I was just joking around guys hehehe...

Thanks, I wonder if actually trying to run outside yesterday helped! Fiddle I love our group. You are right it's a great support system! I am thankful to be a part of it. Happy fast day girls!

I think it means he might of been doing something while looking at your pics....

I'm sorry I had to come back! I stepped on the scale while I was getting ready.. just for kicks.. 161!!! I haven't seen that number yet! That will definitely keep me going today on my fast! Yes it's a pound but I would love to stick it this week

I love that chart Cathy! Being forty seven, it put me a lot closer to a normal weight!

Lol! Shrinkle legs I've been going through this the last couple of days (including shrinkled thighs) I picked a number in the healthy BMI range. I'm now wondering if I will make it or if I should beat myself up trying to get there. So I'm not much help But I I'm thinking its best to feel good about yourself and that isn't necessarily tied into a number on a BMI chart...

Good luck to you dee
