  1. Thank u! U look beautiful! Have a great Thursday! I wish I had your hair!!!
  2. Ok..so I got on amazon tonight and ordered my own hip hop abs. Saw the infomercial and kinda fell in love with it. Hope I like it and if I even get the slight hint of an ab I will be thrilled
  3. I'm so waiting!!! I would love a good shopping day
  4. Welcome and congrats on your surgery.
  5. Boring mashed potatoes. Grumbly pouch day
  6. Yep I feel ya..that added with idk how much longer I've got cause I'm getting to old almost. All those wasted years of infertility.
  7. I did pass out and had a few other close calls thinking I would. I've never done that in my life. It's getting to be summer and fluids are majorly important. I also wasn't getting enough food and calories (carbs) and my blood glucose was falling. Call ur dr. A dr makes a certain commitment to his pts after performing such life altering surgery. That's why they want to follow u for years afterwards. Call ur dr! Record your intake as that could be a helpful insight to him with what's going on. Hope it gets better for u
  8. I think I may end up having to have this. I'm not sure how it all would even come about but I think I'm gonna want it removed.
  9. Omg I laughed so hard! I totally think u should contact bounce and have them try to market the dryer sheets for rny pts!
  10. thank u. Ur totally right
  11. I am not sure I can adequately explain how I'm totally feeling right now but I need to just talk it out. Most people would never know just how low my self esteem has been the last several years. I've been ashamed and embarrassed and its even led me to shy away from social events with my husband. He is a attractive fit military member and I always felt I was a poor reflection on him. In my social circle I was the funny girl everyone could count on to be the life of the party. I've just now started to feel shreds of confidence starting to come back. I've described myself for years as looking like I was shaped like humpy dumpty. Maybe I'm being vain but idk how that works still being a chunky girl..I got out of the shower and I saw everything wiggle so bad! From head to thigh. Lose skin all around idk if I could get taken off even if I lost more. I've got a nice chunk to lose still and idk what I was thinking..like the skin sag would miss me..or perhaps I'm young enough I'm gonna snap back. I see the face in the mirror and she looks so familiar but yet without the fat she's a stranger..where did these lines come from? I still have a big roll of fat on my belly and I could pretty much roll the skin under it. I'm ashamed I'm being so vain but I guess it's gonna be another adjustment. My husband was no help and my friend just said how that's what I wanted. Yeah it was and I still do. Just gotta get use to this I suppose.
  12. Had some sips but it hurts. Made me so uncomfortable. Idk if I can say I will never have another drop but I can't drink more than a sip ever again. I've had possibly 2-3 sips in almost 2 months. I quit pre op and I was a coke zero addict
  13. It gets easier. I had weeks like this then suddenly I started feeling better. This is such a life changer for u and those around u. It does get to be hard but u are worth it
  14. Grilled grouper and shrimp.
  15. Oh no..I'm so sorry honey. It's a weird side effect of the surgery. It's like all the stored estrogen we have in our fat cells start throwing us all off. I think almost all of us go thru this in some form. I became a basket case and would have to just go cry it out. Just remember this too shall pass and you aren't alone..I myself went through it and would feel depressed and like nobody knew what I felt like. My husband thought I was nuts. Hang in there. Try to get ya some dinner and maybe things will feel a but better. I'm here if u need me.
