      Did you remember to take a pix of the scale??? Post it on your mirror and remember how you felt when you first saw the 199. That is a feeling of a lifetime. Enjoy! You've earned it.

      TY, everyone! I did take a pic, Valentina. I don't think I've ever posted anything in my mirror. I will go stare at the instructions and do so!

      Congratulations! I bet you feel like a million bucks!

  2. Found this pic of Freya wearing her cool shades and had to change to it. She was getting a laser treatment, and the glasses were to protect her eyes.

      How did the laser treatments work?

      Having worked with a woman named Freya, I was expecting a photo of a person......Haven't seen you in dogs' years. All is well I hope.

      Freya---The Norse goddess of War. Stunningly beautiful as well as a fierce warrior. She would tour the battle fields after the battle was over and choose which dead warriors would be able to join her on her chariot (pulled by warrior armored lionesses) and ascend into Valhalla. Great name for a great looking dog! :)

  3. Lost 10 lbs. since surgery *and* another 5 lbs. from surgery gain - 2/15

  4. Stitches out today! (I hope.)

      Did you get them out?

  5. Surgery Day +4: Finally lost that 4.6 lbs. gained during surgery. :D

      Yay! Now the real work begins!

  6. Where the heck are the instructions for the ticker sig? I know I've seen them somewhere.

    1. ssflbelle

      ssflbelle

      Go up to the top right where your name is and click on that round wheel thing and a pop down list opens. Go to my ticker. Hope that helps if not let me know and I can give you step by step directions from there.

      Thank you! I knew I'd seen it somewhere and have been hunting for a couple of days now! :)

  7. Home from the hospital. Water, water, water!

      Great to hear your home. Don't forget to get your protein in if your Dr told you to and your able. As soon as I had some protein soups and shakes I started to feel so much better. Welcome to the "losers" bench.

  8. Freaking cold. Waiting to see if Monday's surgery is cancelled. :(

  9. I got my date! I got my date! Feb. 15!

      Is that the White Rabbit I hear hollering? I'm glad you're set.

  10. Feelling bitchy today, and I no longer have the usual excuse for it! Grrrrr

      Glad the annoyance has faded. In the future, though, remember that no excuse is needed. If you're bitchy, it's only because your husband may doing a Bozo routine. I'm sure it's a rare occurrence.

      Eep! Clown imitations are grounds for a wallop over the head with a frying pan, right? Erm, I mean bucket of newspaper shred fake water.Yep. That's what I meant. >>

      WLSResources/ClothingExch

      An imitation certainly is preferable to the real thing, but, when in doubt, an old-fashioned, authentic seltzer bottle is the ultimate.

  11. Received insurance approval today! Phew! I was worried it would be a fight.

      Of course you were approved. Who in their right minds could possibly turn down a gem such as you?

    3. ssflbelle

      Congratulations on getting approved. Now you need to get that surgery date and I hope and pray you don't have a long wait.

      Congrat's! You are on your way!

       

  12. Doctor called. Insurance submitted! Eeep! Cross fingers and toes pls, everyone!

  13. Why wait to lose the weight? Chopped off my long brown hair and went short and red, red, red! Think Sharon Osborne. Love it!

      LOL Pounds, @WLSResources/ClothingExch? Woohoo! Gosh, hope that didn't drop me below the BMI level! ;)

       

      @lauraellen80, I was red in my 20s, too! In my heart I've always been a redhead.

  14. Rats. Hubby said maybe it was time for a new PC so I could play newest games after surgery--then I managed to get FO4 to run on my old one. No new computer for me. What was I thinking? ;D

      Miss Mac

      I have no idea what you just said, but I am glad you got it up and running.

  15. Who needs before photos for inspiration when you can look at old photos for the past 20 years and realize you were always a butterball?

      ROTFLMAO :o

      Those ARE 'before' photos.

    3. songsmith

      songsmith

      Exactly! Here I was racking my brain trying to think of the perfect "before" outfit and where to take the photo. Then my sister and I went through some old photos that had belonged to my mom and I thought, "Welp, here's your entire life this size. I think that's plenty befores! Just think how much fun you'll have with the "afters."

  16. Back from the dietitian. Lost 20 lbs. during my 6 moth pre-op. Shrink and she have signed off and paperwork submitted. Yay!
