First is a few months before surgery and the second was just last week.

Pants I used to wear all the time.

I've ordered kids items before with no issues. But I also have ordered full meals and just have had leftovers. Some meals are able to last me 2 or 3 days with leftovers.

Part of me wishes I had done it at 18 or maybe even at 17 if possible( I had it at 23). I actually almost did it at 16, but backed out of the lap band. But, then I think I wouldn't have been ready and I think I would have failed the surgery. I'm glad now that I can enjoy life and see what my (healthy) future holds.

The doctor I went to wouldn't even do band anymore. He strictly does sleeve and bypass. So strange yours said that.

I wish my mom supported my WLS sooner. I know I would have been upset though if out of the blue she said I needed it. I knew she had it when I was 16. But I'm glad I had it at 23, just wish I had done it when I was 18 or so.

I had some of these! What got me is when I went to Disney and my spine hurt so bad from all the plastic seats on rides! I told my (insanely skinny) bff and she was like see there are cons to being skinny, but it's better than the alternative. And she was right!

First off, I'm not calling myself skinny...yet...but I've noticed a couple of things with my body that I'm surprised about that I wasn't expecting since I've lost so much weight.
First off...how the hell do you shave your armpits when they've turned into a cave?? I swear, my armpits are so sucked in now, it takes me 15 minutes to try to shave them....as off tonight, they're pretty hairy because I gave up.
Also, it's uncomfortable to sleep on my side because my now boney knees hurt when they're rubbing against each other....I've tried putting pillows and blankets between them but I can't sleep with that stuff between my legs...sigh.
And don't get me started about my boney butt on hard chairs and toilet seats!!
I am constantly cold and am not looking forward to the upcoming Canadian winter. My husband is already agitated with all the layers I wear to bed as it is.
But even with all these new "problems", I still wouldn't change any of it for the world!!
So what are your "skinny people problems" you weren't expecting??

Going into it I hated to give up cokes and sweets. I know it was for the best, but man that was hard to cope with

I was choking down Protein drinks until I gave up. I started drinking milk and adding dry milk for extra Protein.

I don't like EITHER candidate, but I can tell you with no inkling of doubt, if that man spoke "the truth" yesterday, he'll surely say he was simply "misunderstood" today. He can't keep his own story straight to save his life.
What a joke.

Omg I have heard it all now.

Jackie, I can't help but feel that if you are a revision you should have known to do your research prior to your op. That includes post op diet, planning ahead & requesting information if it isn't provided to you. I don't mean to be harsh but you have to get on top of this.

I know for a fact the Coca-Cola company is no longer benefitting from me.

Cool! Just breath ???? is normal to be nervous, where is the Date? This usually dictates whether there gunna be alot of full on face to face intimacy/talking.
Maybe not go to a buffet/all you can eat restaurant;-) he he don't mind me I'm only 2 weeks post op and hungry:-)
In my past dating I always take pressure off myself by thinking if it right one, it will flow, if not, it's okay, all experience.
Can be scary to step out of comfort zones, but it is when we can gain most:-)
Hope you have a nice time.
