  1. I think I'm going to try your JEANS idea. .matter of fact I'm going in there to get them right now . Got a brand new pair of Levis about 2 years ago at good will...still haven't gotten into then but have held onto them. .which is weird cuz i dint hold onto anything except weight lol. I'm still pre op btw.. 291 this morning. .haven't been able to hit that number for months.
  2. Oh this sounds great. .I'm not on pre-op diet yet but still trying to be good even though I'm already approved .anyway. I am starting to be very hungry at bedtime and even waking up at 2 or 3 BECAUSE my un-sleeved stomach is starving.
  3. ok I'm 292...hw 311, 5'2...i can't seem to get past 292...oh well. .I'm already approved so I'll just keep trying till January.
  4. can I ask what your weight is now? My surgeon hasn't given me any info like that. ..
  5. "Try one more time" is same as saying keep trying for the rest of your life without this useful tool. I know I can't do it on my own or I would have over all these years. I just feel it is so easy for people to be against it when they have never walked in our fat, miserable, hungry, unhealthy, defeated shoes.
  6. I don't know if I'm just super busy right now but the days seem to be going faster and faster! Yay!
  7. Praying for you! Please keep us posted! So happy for you!
  8. I bought EVERYTHING in liquid form. Multi vitamin, b12, biotin, calcium, fiber, etc. Enough so that I have about six weeks of liquid supplements. I just figured that would be enough time for swelling to go down. But I will probably buy more and take them longer than that.
  9. nothing like the love of a boxer
  10. my 10 year old doesn't know either my ten daughter found out when she saw a you tube video on my phone. .she seems fine but she doesn't know risks. .we haven't discussed anything in detail
  11. where'd you get the book I didn't see it in amazon. .thx
  12. I'm with ya. My biggest fear is dying because of my kids too. I have cried at the thought. But I am literally scared absolutely out of my mind about dying. All I know to do is pray for my fear to subside and for everything to go well. - I just wanted to add that I am not a worryer and I feel like this is very unlike me. But I still count the days and can't wait!
  13. I'VE ALWAYS HEARD THAT PEOPLE CAN STRETCH THEIR SLEEVE OVER TIME IF THEY CONTINUE TO OVER EAT ETC. I CONSIDER MYSELF AN OVER-EATER, NOT A FOOD ADDICT AS MOST PEOPLE DESCRIBE THEMSELVES. I WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS ACTUALLY DONE THIS. I PLAN TO BE DILIGENT IN MEASURING, WEIGHING MY FOOD TO KEEP THIS FROM HAPPENING.
  14. Where do you find smooth move?
  15. what department is it in?
  16. Feelin attractive again....feeling good again....feeling important. ..feeling accomplished...feeling energy!
