  1. @@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.
  2. @@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!
  3. @@DaisyAmy Sorry but it only gets worse!
  4. @@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?!
  5. @@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!
  6. @@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!!!!
  7. 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!
  8. @@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.
  9. Hello All! Ok so today I spent all day at my daughters Winter guard competitions. I posted a picture on FB talking about how I was the "glam mom" for the team (hair & makeup). After posting this picture my inbox BLEW up! I guess a lot of people haven't seen me since I've lost the weight. I don't normally post full body pictures. I got called "tiny" and "amazing". TINY! I had to go back and look at the picture again. It's like I'm just now seeing my new self for the first time. I'm starting to see what everyone else sees. It's the weirdest feeling! I don't think I'm "tiny"' but compared to the 267 lbs I was last year I see what they are saying. I also noticed I need a butt! Lol that's the "oh my goodness" moment. Where did it go?! My tush literally hurt sitting in the bleachers all day. I kept having to switch from cheek to cheek. I started getting paranoid thinking people are going to think I have hemorrhoids the way I keep moving but no! It's the bones in my butt that don't have that fat cushioning! So I had a NSV and a painful realization all in one! Now what do I tell these people. One I was honest with because she's a rather big girl and I didn't want to feed her some lie and get her hopes up. The others I said thank you and avoided the question. I don't mind telling overweight people but I don't like telling my skinny friends. I'm not sure why that is but I just don't feel the need to elaborate with them. Anyway just thought I'd share. Share yours if you have one! I posted the picture below , not the greatest but a 6 year old took it sooooo... The other is my super proud guard mom picture living on coffee and sour rainbow straws. Can't be good all the time!

  11. @@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.
  12. @@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!
  13. @@Chrystee That's good news because I will be sending him the nearly naked photos he's requesting later once I get the house to myself. Embarrassing!! My face will be cut off! I feel like sending him a picture of a melted candle would be suffice.
  14. @@Chrystee I Have BCBS FED too! I don't have any rashes though.....now how can I rash myself up?!
  15. @@KristenVSG2014 I've got a consult out to Dr. Sauceda. He seems very promising. Very good reviews from weightloss patients!!

  17. @@Daisee68 It's weird. He should pop on here sometime and tell us. Do I get a prize for having the best answer? I'll be checking my mailbox!
  18. @@BestDayEver He better not! I doubt he'll do anything nice for me again since he got his a** chewed out for being "nice".

  21. Oh, BTW what is this "best answer" thing all about? This wasn't even an answer to anything, it was just a statement.
  22. @@Alex Brecher knows some surgeons in Mexico, he should work us out a discount! Then we could be spokes models we'd be the "Bariatripal Beauties". I'm on a roll!!!
