  1. Get in that singles forum and get to chatting!! My husband and I talked on the phone for 3 hours before we ever laid eyes on each other....8 years later happily married!
  2. Yes! Go girl! I'm slowly coming out of the momma Jean water park days with you!!
  3. @@JustWatchMe Well crap takes up a lot of space! Both in the fridge and on the butt, hips, stomach & thighs!!
  4. @@Debbieduck4 That's not a bad pet peeve to have lol! I love my local goodwill just because of that!
  5. I "set you off" what?! Little ol me?! I set you off by showing how you troll around and give ridiculously bad advice to newbies and everyone in general?! Well all I have to say to that is GOOD! You're not funny. You don't do it in a funny way. It's really not going to be funny if someone is ever Naive enough to listen to any of your stupid advice and hurt themselves. LAME! I'm done with you chunky butt lover or whatever it is your going by today. You AER the Joke. Mental illness is just sad, some people don't have to be seen for a diagnosis, you can see it in the writing. Get well Chunks!!❤️ "Shut up when your talking to me". ????

  7. I'll be glad when school starts so these little 12 yr old boys will have something better to do than play on momma's computer all day. Some are in need of some real education. Bye now @chunkylover. You will be gone soon xoxoxo
  8. I'm calling BS I read through and screen shot a few of your post, telling a 17 yr old to have surgery because it's important for finding a mate? Telling Another to gum breads after surgery? Either your full of s**t or give really shi*ty advice!
  9. Do one in Kansas it's centrally located.
  10. @@Shakti Well that's why your tears eyes! I'd be moist in the eyes too if I have to put that much on credit cards!! Ha!
  11. Eat what you want?! Lucky! I still have to watch what I eat! Well I do so I don't gain back any weight anyway!
  12. I guess it would all depend on when and where for me.
  13. @ Put some ankle weight on before you get on the scale and call it good! I had the same problem, I have to gain 8 lbs and stay at a 40 BMI throughout my 3 month "supervised diet" , what a joke. I ate way worse than I ever did in that 3 months just to stay above. First Check in was 258 by the time of surgery I was 267. I was approved 1st time
  14. Let me add that was pre-op. I did have to stop the coffee for 3 months post op though.
  15. I actually accomplished one of mine on my vacation to Colorado two weeks ago! White water rafting!! So much fun!!!
  16. @@Hope25 Did you get a prescription antacid? That's a hard question to answer some are lucky and either don't have it or it fades away and some will continue to have it. I still take my prescription daily. I missed it in the very beginning one day and woke up literally choking on acid. It burned my throat and hurt for days! So I was scared to not take it but then I went on vacation to CO week before last and forgot it, I did fine those 5 days but there were times I felt like it could possibly be starting? Anyway If your not taking a prescription for it then maybe you should as your dr for one. Especially in the healing stage, you don't want that acid hurting your new sensitive, healing sleeve! Good luck hope you feel better and get some resolve.
  17. @@Deanna66 Yes you are, it takes time but if will be off before you know it. Hang in there!
  18. @@kaysunshine I didn't have to stop coffee, it's a liquid. Yes they will still do surgery even if it's that time of the month, it doesn't effect anything. Good luck on the pre-op! Stay Strong!!
  19. I have yet to drink anything while eating 9 months post. I didn't have any issues with not drinking. Once your stomach is sleeved you may not have an issue either?
  20. @@Sajijoma fantastic girl! You keep that up and you'll be running in no time.
  21. That's 3 lbs a week average which is pretty dang good! Don't worry about everyone else. We are all different. If you keep that same rate up you would lose over 156 lbs by your 1 year anniversary! See in the grand scheme of things that's a LOT. Not that you need to lose 156lbs and you probably won't even continue to lose 3 lbs a week most will stall ect..l'm just saying your doing wonderful!!!@@Deanna66
  22. @@Lucky Dog Wonderful! Congrats!!
  23. I told my daughters 13,15 my son is only 5 so he wouldn't understand. My girls were surprisingly Supportive of it (not that they had a choice) they helped me in the hospital and when I got home, my 13 yr old exercises with me EVERY time. She's only 120 lbs so she doesn't need to I think she just does it to keep me going. Once it over they will see it's fine. They will enjoy that new mom...until you start wearing their clothes ha!
