  1. HI all!  I am 8 months out and I am curious if there is a great book out there for people who are further out than a few weeks.  It is easy to find information for your first few months out but nothing after that.  Any websites or books y'all can recommend?  Thanks!

  3. So all you mommas, tell me if I'm wrong. I'm equating the preparation of WLS to first time pregnancy. 😂We read, educate ourselves, prepare, and plan. When it actually happens, seems as if reality is a bit different then all of our plans, but we "go with the flow" and all falls in to place anyway. All the preparation is not for nothing though, it gives us a better flow than to not been prepared at all. So, with that said, I know I'll  be just fine. 

  4. Tried on 20 dresses yesterday to find a dress for Easter. Women's sizing is crazy but wearing 8s and 10s is a lot of fun. What I do find annoying is it seems like there are more 14 and 16s than 8s or 10s. Grr. Grass always greener

  6. Blood Pressure 101 over 64. Considering I started this because my blood pressure was high and they wanted to put me on meds, that number is great.

  7. I've hit the dreaded 9mo wall. I can suddenly eat a whole lot more than I'm used to and I'm losing control of the weight loss. time to reset

  11. In less than 12 hours I will be in hospital having my skin surgery. I am having quite a bit done and will be in theatre for over 6 hours. Bags are packed, Dog has gone to stay with friends for a couple of weeks, house is clean from top to bottom. Hubster has a list of things to do during the week 1) Tell me I look great even when I don't lol 2) Repeat number 1. I am dreading it. Wish me luck!!

  15. I got a 2nd job to help pay for my skin surgery in addition to my business. Now that I am sitting in an office all day and not working from home. I understand how some of you struggle with food post-op.

  17. Gonna put this little PSA here for your benefit.....while it can provide near immediate support and restoration of function.....duct tape should not ever...ever, be used as a bandage/wrap for a sore titty. Removing that stuff was like a redneck waxing. Long story....but ouch. Damn.

      I had to use duct tape recently so I could wear a backless dress. The best way to take it off is to get sweaty/hot and it will just come off.

  19. The push to onederland begins again. I'm doing the Tony Garza six week fat loss challenge. If I lose 20 pounds, it's free. If I fall short, it's $350. I'm two years out, and I need a new challenge.

  20. Had my 18 month follow up with my surgeon yesterday. I've lost 164 pounds. He said that it's up to me if I want to keep losing weight, but he is pleased with my progress and told me to lose until I feel comfortable. I'm far from a healthy weight, so I will continue to try to lose...

  23. The scale is pretty much standing still, nevertheless I am continuing to work with this sleeve. I have not had a single carb or sugar since November 25th. I quickly re-lost the holiday gain but have been at a standstill for a couple weeks. 18 month appointment with my surgeon on 12/30. Praying for a 3lb miracle, lol.

  25. I am wearing a body on dress with just control top tights and a bra today. Not being stuffed into shapewear and still looking sleek is huge deal for me!
