Fantastic effort @@con con Congratulations to you!!!

Hahahahaha... Oh I'm sure I'll be quite a treat... But enough about me... This is your 'crazy idea' thread...

Make sure you have something tho... You'll need to make sure you're not going into your pre-op diet under-nourished... I guess I question your sanity (not really) because my pre-op diet was 4 weeks of liquids... So why anyone would choose to do longer is beyond me.. Having said this, I'm considering doing a 5 day liquid diet to try to kick my stall... I know, I know... Going against everything I've just said... Good luck with it all... Not that you need it... You're all over this sh*t...

And @@tdb0127 Don't ever be shy about coming in here and seeking assistance or information... There's likely someone here who has been thru what you're going thru, no matter what it may be... Even if you just need to rant, come in here and let off steam... Sometimes, just knowing that someone else really does understand how you feel can be enough to get you out of your funk...

@@SeaEli Welcome back!!! Glad it all went well for you... Looking forward to your upcoming updates...

My non-medical and completely uneducated opinion is - That couldn't hurt.. Do what you want!! Of course, why you'd want to put yourself thru that is beyond me... But hey, knock yourself out!!! Good luck!!!

What?? Nooooooooooooooooooo!!! They'll revoke your membership!!!

Hi @@tdb0127 Sounds like you've had a pretty ordinary time of it thus far... Without knowing anything about your situation, its hard to give any sound opinions... What does strike me tho is your statement that you "hardly eat due to the hassle of it"... I certainly understand that thought process... I was sleeved in Feb '15 and am still yet to feel hunger... I've had to train myself to eat again... The desire to eat comes to me only occasionally... Unfortunately, the reality of it is that if you don't eat, you'll starve... Especially for you at only 3 weeks out... Your body is still recovering from the major surgery/trauma you've been thru... You'll still be swollen to some degree inside.. But to be blunt, you've gotta suck it up... You've gotta eat.. You'll not lose weight by not eating... Yes, you'll drop poundage... But that's not losing weight... That's wasting away... I will (almost) guarantee that if you start getting your Protein in and keeping your Water up, you'll find that the kgs (or lbs if you're so inclined) will start to drop off you and you'll start to feel better about things... A few here will recommend a therapist.. If that's gonna help, please seek out such assistance... Ultimately, what you say is spot on... It's too late now... It's done... You may as well make the best of it and follow whatever instructions your medical team has given you... And while I'm no doctor of stuff, I'm sure their instructions included eating... Good luck with it all... Please update us as you continue.. I hope you find some resolutions soon... Take care... Kinda

Stick with it ladies... It's hard, but the payoff is worth it...

Hi @@rydersmama Nice of you to say so... Thanx for your kind words... I hope the ongoing updates and results can provide you with as many smiles and laughs @@ocgirl15 Family friendly??? Well aren't I in entirely the wrong place!!!! Maybe I really do need to get that site going...

Great news @@Kooky1 Take care!!!

@ I'll take it!!!

@ Thanx for joining in... Feel free to hang around... I'd like to fly too... But I think these 'wings' are more penguin than bat...

Oh my beautiful @ It was not my intention to ignore you, especially for so many posts... Truth be told, I wanted to make sure I worded my response to you just right.. Alas, it seems I may have squandered my opportunity to make a good impression... This is something that I will eternally regret... My list of stalkers? I have no stalkers... Just friends who've not yet introduced themselves to me, yet seem to be wherever I go and comment on things I say... But friends nonetheless... I will admit to being an attention seeker tho... I may not always gain the attentions of those from whom I seek it, but in this instance, it seems to have worked... I'll not attempt to coerce you into sharing your 'flabby skin pics'... I'm more than happy to report my findings back here and be the 'guinea pig' which was mentioned in another post... And regarding my wanting to see "what's under your clothes"... What sort of guy do you take me for??? (Maybe don't answer that...)

@ I wasn't neglecting you, I promise... I was just saving you til now... Firstly, I'm glad you enjoy what I put out... It's nice to be appreciated... As I'm sure you know, sometimes the words flow freely, yet other times, one can get into quite a state when looking for the right words... Your point re the long term use of this is certainly valid... While I'd like to think that arse cream would solve all of my woes, I'm pretty sure it will be a stop-gap type thing until I decide whether or not surgery is warranted... At this stage, the 'experiment' is more of an attention seeking little hobby than anything too medical... This should be ok for you, as you've pointed out quite clearly that you're "no doctor". If you'd like, you can run a 'bat-wing' experiment in conjunction with my arse face one... We can be non-doctors together... How 'bout it? Anyway, thanx for taking the time to reply... It really does warm my (frozen) pea sized heart to feel all the 'love'...

@@glitter eyes I'm happy to help out... I am, after all, a man of the people... I aim to please... It's just what I do... And thanx for the congrats...

Oh yeah... I used to have it baaaaaadddd... Now I just snore a bit and don't die repeatedly in my sleep and stuff... It's kinda cool...

@@ocgirl15 Thanx for the props... Will you be posting 'arse cream' pics as well? We can start a whole new website... recoveringfattiesarsecreamexperiment.com Or something....

@@Valentina So now we're setting each other 'selfie challenges' are we?? How interesting...

Up in the top right hand corner (I'm using laptop), there's an 'Unfollow' button.. Click that sucker and you should be sweet as...

@@Valentina Firstly, I'm a boy - we've very little use for such an item... Secondly, it was the term 'kotex' that threw me. I'm not familiar with that brand or reference.. Here we simply use the term 'pad' and everyone knows what's doing.. Or 'panty liner'... Or 'maxi-pad'... And as far as the 'virgin' comment goes... Yes, yes I am... I'm as pure as the dri... Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... Never mind...

@@tany1157 Well if it's a slappin' you're after then you've come to the right place!!! Not from me of course... I'm the nice one.. But @@KristenLe She's a whoooole other story...

I'm with the bike/swim for cardio and light weights (to start with) for strength folk.. Even if you can't get the PT, any gym you go to SHOULD provide you with all the support and information you require... Try a few gyms before you commit to one... And don't be afraid to ask if there's any PT who wants to take on a 'project'... You may find they'll offer a reduced rate (or better) for the opportunity to put you and your success on their resume...

@@tany1157 Isn't stressing about the 'what ifs' just gonna cause the 'what ifs' to happen?? Relax mate... Focus on the great job you're doing NOW... If the other stuff happens, you'll deal with it... You already know you can deal with all sorts of sh*t.. Good luck to you... Keep us posted... Kinda..

Oh yeah!!!!
