I cry foul again with the ID. It must be fake, cause you don't look old enough to drink. LOL I'm a whole 26 years old... Not old, but old enough to dance in a club!

I wanna be there when you try to board a flight. They'll probably wrestle you to the ground as a terrorist using a phony ID. On second thought....maybe you better get a new pic. Oh please! They actually had to go check the security cameras for me to get back in the casino! I was waiting for someone to just snap my ID in half.

This past weekend I attended my best friend's bachelorette party in Biloxi, MS, and I was a little naughty: I didn't weigh or measure any of my food, just eyeballed/ guesstimated I wore shorts! Yes, OMG, really. And a short skirt! AND A SWIMSUIT! I drank 4 oz of white wine-- gasp! ... And was totally wasted and crawled back to our hotel room. lol I ate (oh goodness) a dark chocolate covered strawberry. And it was amazing. AND I LOST 2 POUNDS!!!!!! I also got a whole lot of trouble with my ID. Apparently I look a little different than my drivers license, yet I was the oldest one there. lol I was like-- look, here's my medical bracelet... You wanna see my scars?... I'll show you my loose skin. JUST LET ME IN!!! LOL

I think it was around 8-9 months when I was 100 lbs down. Not quite positive. I just follow my rules-- and no rice, bread, potatoes, Pasta. And I workout a lot. I still have a little more to lose, but I'm feeling amazing! Thank you all !!! I def recommend getting photos takes as a little WTG gift (even if it's family photos) And here's another..

So... Over 100 lbs down and treated myself to a photo shoot. I'm in LOVE!! Here's some not-so-naughty shots (before editing/ retouching)

Hi! Go ahead and let your Doc know about that. She/He may want to follow up with some lab work as those could be signs of an electrolyte imbalance or vitamin deficiency.

I had a blast!!! I felt so pretty- I can't wait to see them!!! I'm getting a book of 20-30 images for my hubby to keep-- might put one up in the bedroom as well. Our master bedroom is kept pretty private. I get my photos next week. I'll share a PG version with y'all when I do!

I'm very curious myself.

Beautiful!

Thanks y'all! My shoot is in just a couple hours and I'm more excited than nervous... Which is great! I just plan on having fun now. Eek!

I cry EVERY time I try on clothes. Sometimes happy tears, sometimes just overwhelmed. lol WTG!!

Thank you!

Ps: there's no "standard" amount of time. To clarify my answer earlier, I was an outpatient. I wouldn't suggest the first 24 hrs after surgery alone-- not the same as 24 hrs after discharge. Big difference. Lol

Then you should do fine alone.

Are you having outpatient surgery or will you have a stay in the hospital?

Lucky y'all! I needed help for the first 24 hrs for sure. But after that, life was easier.

I wouldn't have been able to do it. I couldn't reach down enough to takeoff my SCDs for the first 24 hrs... And I needed to pee frequently. lol

It's one of the realities that's just not so awesome. But I would never trade my flabby skin back for fat. My lifestyle is too awesome now.

Although I feel a bit more insecure now after losing weight, the sex life is def ... Awesome. Like, I thought it was amazing before, but apparently I was wrong. ?? Lol

Congrats to you too then! I didn't think single digits would happen-- especially since I've never been here before.

Sounds Ike you may have been living a little dehydrated. Your body is just holding on to what it needs... For now

I did! My first week post op I had dreams (nightmares) of eating chicken while I was still on clear liquids. I'd wake up in a panic- sweaty & breathing fast& terrified thinking "omg, I need to go to the hospital!" But then I'd realize it's just a dream. LOL

Thanks!

A spoonful of chicken salad. Mmm...

Why are you upset that people choose to live differently than you??? That's a big rant over others eating healthy. ???
