I don't have any pictures. Never thought to take any. It wasn't too bad. I didn't have any bald spots. There's nothing that can prevent it that I'm aware of. If it helps there aren't any bald women on here that I know of.

Ummm I'm waiting for my worst to be a tummy tuck. Then I'm waiting for my best to be a tummy tuck.....Wink wink!

Well let's see, traditions.....my husband watches football like its a second job. Falls asleep on the couch EVERY TIME and he did. I ate cheese dip with 4 chips, spinach artichoke dip with said chips, 2 bites of pizza, pepper popper insides oh and CRACKER CANDY!!! I'm pretty excited about that last one. I will be sending the rest to school with my daughter. I can't have that nonsense in this house! I almost had a rumchatta drink but I decided against it but that's only because I wanted to eat CRACKER CANDY!!! That's that. Thrilling huh?! I'm a horrible sleeve patient today so people are just going to have to stop asking me what I eat in a day for advice. I cannot be of assistance with this bad behavior I'm displaying. It's ok, I'll be better tomorrow.

@@mykdzmom It's just hitting me after 14 months so just hold on! I love the guard. I even bought the shirt ha! I didn't get to do that kind of stuff as a kid so I vicariously through her.

@@Alex Brecher Thank you! Now about getting me a discount on plastics in Mexico......

@@LipstickLady Well I would hope so!

How did I miss this!! Reading through I had so many " so take that B" comments I wanted to make and now I'm just pissed that I've missed that opportunity! I'm going to have to really reevaluate some of my "friendships" on here! Somebody should have rang the alarm and let me know there was a fire going! I miss all the good stuff! Granted I skipped over the sleeve stretch debate because quite frankly I find it booooring! Common sense says if you eat a massive amount of calories in a day your a** will get fat.....SURPRISE!!!!! Maybe that's the shocker that got some of us in here in the first place?! Just an observation. Mind blowing I know! Now, next time I would appreciate it if someone would get me involved in the online drama, it keeps my hands out of the cookie jar when I'm playing keyboard warrior! It's called being a decent friend...duh! Oh and FYI I'm extremely disappointed in some of you! You know who you are! Let's just keep it simple. If there's ANY time where I could pull out the "butt hurt" form I should be immediately notified! Capeesh?!

@@2goldengirl Thank you! That's funny, that thing changes all the time. I'm only 14 months post op. Hardly a legend ha! Give me a few more years! @@Dub Well thanks now I just want pizza!

@@Dub I don't know. I told my husband I hope I don't have cancer. He tells me to shut up but seriously! I can't explain it either. I have a friend that had gastric bypass and literally lives on mini peanut butter cups (they have to be the mini) and I mean bags of them! She's tiny. I worried about her and she had it done years ago and now here I am doing the same damn thing! Well not peanut butter cups but odd eating! It just seems like "bad" foods go down so much easier! Meat is a process, while I can eat it it just sits in there forever! I can eat everything. I did get 1/2 a protein shake in, 1/2 an egg and 1/2 of a 1/2 of a biscuit with gravy for breakfast so I'm doing ok this morning!

@@Dub I actually think it was easier losing weight than it is trying to remind myself that I need to eat and not just junk. I've been on a junk diet for a few weeks now that I'm not proud of but I keep losing. I finally had my husband buy me some shakes again to get my protein. I'm trying to be diligent about eating right. I've just never been a person who could eat what they want and not gain. For whatever reason I'm able to do that right now. I ate chocolate silk pie (a lot) and till dropped half a pound. I weigh myself more now than I ever have because I haven't been eating right just to make sure I don't gain and I haven't. I'm no fool, I'm sure this won't last forever so time to stop the crazy!

I can't take all the credit. My surgeon is a miracle worker. He made my sleeve perfectly small. It's the exact same as it was a year ago. I still eat the same amount of food that I did back then. I still have days of no hunger. We all know I didn't exercise but maybe 4 times so it's his magic hands that saved me. If I wasn't married I'd kiss his face right off! He's so modest about it all too. He has no idea how much he's blessed my life. ❤️

@@glitter eyes Thank you! Tiny is word I've never been associated with. Nothing has ever been tiny about me. Not my body, and defiantly not my mouth!

@@Dub Oh you will! Like your new pic btw!

@@Sharon1964 lol! You're too cute! I guess I kinda am BUT I'm also 5'8 so I think my height has a lot to do with it.

@@VSGAnn2014 lol! Oh I'd wear it I just never realized how small if was getting back there! My husband didn't tell me! Time to invest in some full length mirrors! I obviously can't trust anyone in this house!

@@DaisyAmy Sorry but it only gets worse!

@@Nurse_Lenora I LOVE it and I may or may not get all teary eyed when people are performing. I don't even know why?! It's just so beautiful! I told my son (6) my allergies where messing with me and in his loud mouth ways he says "no mom you're crying!" Why do I even take him?!

@@Dub Thank you! As are you my friend! I I thought about not using this picture but then I though oh well! I eat candy! I eat "bad" things or whatever you want to call them. I'm normal, I'm not perfect and I'm still at goal. I was a busy mom yesterday. I took what I could get!

@@VSGAnn2014 ha! I've thought about it! I'm also thinking "butt lift" surgery or fat transfer whatever....it's for my own good! Medically necessary!!!!

Oh AND I was telling someone else this too but last week I had another NSV! Those dang bleachers. Back when I was fat there is NO WAY I would try to squeeze my big self past people on those things. Now I have no problem walking my skinny no butt having a** right past them to get a good seat! Right down the middle! Not one shit given!

@@Inner Surfer Girl Thank you girl! I'm way more out going now! I love being involved with the school ect... I was never like this before.

I fell in love with a coconut pie once. So id say 2.5 seconds -

@@deedadumble Wow that's great! I will be asking him all this when he gets back to me. I'm just wanting TT breast lift & implants.

@@deedadumble Thank you! This was really informative. I sent him the pictures he requested yesterday so now I'm waiting for his response with cost. Does he make you stay the whole 13 days? My husband will have vacation but it will only be for 9 days. I REALLY don't want to go alone since I've never even been to Mexico. I wish I had someone to go with if he couldn't. I guess I could go alone but that scares the crap out of me. I'm off right now and only working a few days a month so I have plenty of recovery time. Did you wake up during surgery? I've heard of people waking up, not feeling anything but woke up. Also freaks me out! How do I get to where all his pictures are? I can't find it. You look wonderful!
