Gibson

My latest confession...

Evidently chocolate Chip Cookie Dough meets NO resistance while gloriously sliding down my gullet.

Um, I just realized that I inappropriately capitalized "chocolate chip cookie dough". Do you think I might think it's a tad more important than it really is? Hmmmm.

I've been thinking about your great sex, Becca, and I've decided that you might want to add a clip of that to your next youTube video. Can you imagine how much traffic that would generate for Dr. McEwen? :smile2:

I had a cat named Gibson. I named him Gibson because he was the bravest of the kittens so his name morphed from Braveheart to Mel Gibson to plain old Gibson. Later I found out Gibson was a girl so the name choice was inappropriate all around! Anyway, I added the Gibson Girl as my avatar so people would know I was a girl and not make the same mistake I made with my cat. :smile2:

Thanks tripod! My goal is to someday have hair that is bigger than my head. :tongue::smile2:

Welcome Bill Bailey! Good luck with your new fill. It sounds like you are doing great so far!

If any of you are burglars or petty thieves, please don't read below.

I just had a great idea of where to hide my valuables. In a Ziploc bag in the bottom of a litter box. No one would ever look there, right? This plan will be perfect as soon as I: A. Get rid of the cat that actually uses the litter box and B. Buy some valuables worth protecting.

Ezma, That dress is smokin' hot!

Becca, I'm so with you on the boots thing. I definitely want some long old boots when I can wear them well!

tripod, I only have one thing to say about your dream outfit....YEEEEHAWWWW!!!! (Well, that and I just had to google "Resistol Black Gold hat". Very cool!!

lapdancer, How are YOU doin'??? :smile2::tongue:

How cool for you! I've often wondered if I could honestly remember how to ride a bike if I tried one again. It would be fun to find out but I'm nowhere near ready to actually buy one just to see. =)

You rock!!

Jaime, I totally understand. I'm 38 years old and I've only had my nails done twice in my life. I still wear my hair in the same ponytail I wore in grade school. I never wear make-up. I'm pretty darn gross to look at, actually. I've just always had the attitude of, "What's the point? You're so repulsively fat, why dress it up? You aren't going to look good anyway?" So, while I still actually feel that way about myself, I've decided to take some steps in the right direction over spring break by coloring my hair, whitening my teeth, and getting a mani-pedi. Who knows, I may even take my shaggy hair down out of this ponytail and put on some makeup! I know my female students would be thrilled.

Wow Val, sorry about all the trouble you've been having! What did the doctor find when he ran the tests?

Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!

You are a funny, funny girl!

P.S. Is your scale still with us in the land of the 'non'living?

I'm sorry you are having this trouble. It doesn't happen to me but it might just be because my surgeon makes all of his patients take Prevacid for three months after the surgery. (I'm taking a generic version because of my insurance.) Definitely call your surgeon because you might be suffering unnecessarily! Good luck!

Welcome officeslave and all the others who have posted here! I agree that this is the best group around so please, post often!!! We won't bite! (Unless some of you kinky ones want us too, of course!) =)

Carol, I have a suggestion for you. HARASS YOUR DOCTOR AND HIS STAFF UNTIL YOU GET ANOTHER FILL! It's ridiculous for them to make you wait another month if you have zero restriction. Good luck!

Hey tapshoes, welcome! I will forever be indebted to a Canadian for turning me on to hockey! =)

tripod, I love your Bender avatar!

I finally got brave enough to poke my head in here and look for a fellow West Virginian or Kentuckian and you guys are talking about football again. There's no escape. =)

Well, great. Now I'm jealous. :tongue::biggrin:

I really like the idea of rewarding myself with an MP3 player! I'm glad you suggested that! I think today I'll make myself a little list of rewards for every twenty pounds lost. Hmmmm, that means I'm already due one reward! Just the excuse I needed to get a manicure and pedicure! =)

Congratulations to all you closet shoppers!!!! I am still in the same 30/32 tops and 26/28 pants I was at surgery time because I've only lost 20 pounds so far BUT...I have a closet full of the next size down clothes that I'm hoping to fit into in a month or so. I'll be so excited! I don't have any size below that though, so (optimistically speaking) if I keep losing weight by late summer I might have to start buying new things. WOO HOO!!!!!!

JanetNBama, I just read this thread again and I'm not sure anyone responded to you. I'm sorry that you are having such a hellish year. I broke up with my boyfriend of five years at Thanksgiving so I'm kind of with you on that. Are you feeling any better?

JulieC, I wouldn't backtrack if I were you. From what I read here it looks like the majority of us rush through our food stages but as long as you are making healthy choices and not having any stomach irritation I say keep up the good work!

Congratulations!!! =)

Gloucester, you are so close to the 100s! I'm thrilled for you! I see that you currently weigh what I weighed at my smallest. I felt so small then!

How cute are you?? I love it! You are so beautiful and articulate and well....all around cool! Will you be my new best friend? (Even though it's too late for an invite to the Sweeney Todd party!) =)

You are an absolute perfect find for your doctor to use on his website. Yay you!!

The most I've ever weighed (that I can prove!) is 330. I think I probably went above that by ten pounds or so at one point but I refused to get on the scale and find out for fear of flinging myself off the nearest high building.

The least I've ever weighed as an adult is 232. I weighed 250 when I graduated high school so I've always been fat. If I can get to 231 pounds in this journey at least I'll weigh the least I've ever weighed in my adult life.

What about you?

I have a couple of them. One, I would love to look good in a long, cream-colored fisherman's sweater and a pair of nice jeans. I would also love to wear jeans with a black turtle neck (tucked in! What a miracle that would be!) and a belt. A belt is something I have literally never been able to wear in my entire life.

What are your dream outfits?

So glad you posted! Yes, things will get MUCH better after your first fill. I had almost given up hope until I got mine. (See my "Vomit is my Friend" thread.)

The fact that you have lost anything is great because a lot of people (and I'm one of those lot!) regain back all of their weight after the post-op liquid stage before the first fill. Hang in there and keep hanging out here with us! =)

Yay Angie! The difference in weight couldn't have happened to a nicer person! (Your comment about the shirt style cracked me up. I never would have noticed if you hadn't said that!) LOL Of course, my goal in life is to find the perfect fitting top and bottom and buy each one in every color of the rainbow and never have to worry about clothing again!
