The sugar daddies come knocking...
I'm not interested but I find it amusing my looks are on the level for sugar babying.

When you see a frock that you like in the sale but it is a UK 10 US 6. Just had to try it and it fitted! Yay!!!!!! It's not a fluke as I spotted two more dresses in another shop a few days later, again 10/6 and they fit as well. This is costing my husband a fortune-well, bit cheaper than a fortune as everything that I buy is on the reduced rail. I'm in the middle of a stall (again) but what the hell. 20lbs to go to goal but I feel WONDERFUL!!!!!!!

When you make it through a tiny space without your body touching on either side, and then have to go back and do it a few more times just to relive the moment.
I call this maneuver a "sideways" limbo.

Hey folks! New to the forum and I just got my approval from the insurance company! It took 2 days to get approved! So freakin excited...and anxious. Anybody here from DC?

Be really careful with them, they will break off at the edges and the temples, keep them oiled with like coocnut oil or something.
Sisterlocks are so pretty. I'm far too lazy for them though. Wash and go is the life for me.

@@blackgirlfat I'm not sure how your sisterlocks are going to hold up. My friend had them and since they are so small, they can break off at the root easily with healthy hair, when you have hair that is shedding, meh. Good luck.
I wouldn't suggest anyone have braids, sewins etc right after surgery. If anything wigs are best so your hair can rest.

@@blackgirlfat Congratulations! I am having surgery in November and our starting weight is about the same so I will be stalking your progress lol. I have a huge concern about losing hair also but I heard taking your Vitamins helps to avoid Hair loss.

@@blackgirlfat How are you feeling? Are you meeting your Fluid and Protein goals?

Hey everyone. I had met with my surgeon today and the appointment went very well. Found out that I do not have to wait 6 months and I can't tell you how happy I was. Psych evaluation is in 2 weeks so the ball is officially rolling!

Absolutely most of our energy is being used to heal from the inside so be patient and take a nap when needed. Listen to your body Sent from my SM-N915V using the BariatricPal App

If that is what you think you don't have to participate but we definitely have different issues. I am working with a University Professor in sport nutrition and other things along with my bariatrics and the definitely know that African Americans and Asian Americans for that matter are different. Different ethnic groups have different needs and different issues.
Besides this thread is barely utilized anymore. All the new people are on the app and don't use search.

Welcome aboard

Hello all. I'm in the very early stages of this process. Meeting with my surgeon for the first time on Tuesday. Nervous, excited and looking forward to connecting with everyone here.

You know you have lost weight when you can sit in NYC train seats and people don't have to wonder if your to big for them to fit. There no longer giving you the funny look, Yeah!

I'm getting rid of my too large clothes for the second time because my boss is laughing at the pants I have on because of the way they fit.

Yes all my shoes are too wide now

I also hated to eat in public when I was obese, now it does not bother me anymore (even if I am not "thin" yet).
After a few days in Italy and the warm weather that has finally it my country, I am glad to say I can handle hot temperatures now!
I also have been getting loads of "compliments" from people I know telling how great I look now, that my face has completely changed.
Last but not least, I also bought some L shirts and shorts, a nice change from my 3XL shirts!
Been feeling pretty nice lately, what a change!

I look over at da old me and I'm like wow I can't believe dat was me

Also most insurance in TN doesn't cover WLS surgery so a lot of people from TN are going to Mexico for surgery. You are going to find fewer people that had surgery in TN. That doesn't say anything bad about your doctor. Plus you should ask in the general part of the forums. There are very few active African Americans that post in this thread.
