Has anyone been nervous about what their body will look like after... like maybe my butt isn't so bad now, what if I lose all the good things about my shape/body/me!? Am I just overthinking!?

I found out just now that I have zero tolerance for food that doesn't taste good. Used to be if something was "eh" I would go ahead and eat it. Now, I have a certain amount of sleeve space, and I'm not giving it up for food that isn't pretty darned good.

I'm still here...plugging along. :-)

I AM SICK OF THE ATTITUDE BY THE SO CALLED VETERANS ON THIS SITE. THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO DECIDE WHAT IS STUPID AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE ANSWERED AND WHAT DOESNT. THIS IS RIDICULES I AM NOW AT BARIATRIC SOCIAL. IF YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LIKE PERSON JOIN ME THERE

Whoever says they like Coconut water is lying. WTF?

What's with all the bitching about not losing 10 lbs. a day? At least three new whines are posted daily. I have come to the conclusion that the psychologists who do evaluations are asking the wrong questions and not paying attention.

How much more fun would this world be if everyone loosened up a little and took themselves a lot less seriously?

Bought a pair of size 14 jeans and a size L shirt today. Hard to believe I was a 22 and 2-3x just 3.5 months ago!

Sleeved!

It makes me so sad to be locked out of the vets' forum for another 6 months. Being over a year out, I no longer really belong in the newbie forum except to offer encouragement and advice. People I can actually relate to are all hanging out in the cool kids room.

I have lost 90 pounds as of this morning! There is something about the nice, even numbers that is extra exciting. 23 days until the surgery. I WILL get to 100 pounds down before that day gets here...

planning to go through the closet and get rid of all the "fat" shoes this weekend. then, I'll know what I need to buy.

Gonna play with my sausage n' ballz on this glorious afternoon. Also gonna smoke some herb. whilst doing so. Hoping for epic results. And, no....sadly this isn't an undertaking that directly involves sex or illegal stuff......yet it may lead to the former if I do it right. Check my grilling thread for updates. Hope all have a great Friday. Some of us may even be having a Freaky Friday.

I am so hella sick of protein shakes. Having to force myself to drink them to get my protein, as the powder makes pre-made pudding and yogurt taste funny. Won't get cleared for puree/soft until Wed afternoon. I'll get through this, but last night I seriously wanted to suck the salt off of a cracker my hubby was eating. LOL. Chew and spit makes more sense in my head now. LOL

Got my blood work results from the phlebotomist at work - now I have to sit and wonder what they mean! I should have just waited until the Dr. called me or my pre-op appointment but I was too curious!

Thank Goodness! Today I heard back from my old Bariatric Center where I had my surgery. I asked them to provide a letter that I could take to my new doctors and insurance company in my new state indicating that having to have the annual blood work is an absolute necessity to ensure proper nutrition post RNY. My lovely new insurance company refuses to pay the $2363.00 bill for said blood work because they used the work Bariatric in the coding. The clinic of course refuses to change the coding so I wrote the check yesterday because they threatened to send it to collections. What BS. Now I am filing with both the insurance company for an appeal and I am filing with the state, thanks to @OKCPirate. Don't know if it will do any good and I will get my money back but it is what it is.

Stressful two weeks. First, my former employer (I was laid off June 30th) has breached our signed severance agreement and I've had to hire a lawyer to figure out how to deal with it, tomorrow I have a job interview in Maryland that I'm having second thoughts about and this weekend, I'll be seeing my family for the first time since Christmas - which was a disaster and effectively ended my relationship with my mother and brother. . But I'm going down to VA for my great niece's birthday because I refuse to let my issues with mom and bro destroy my relationship with my nephews and their families. But eek! So much stress and anxiety. Only good thing is I haven't turned to food so far.

The boobies are melting :-( gonna have to go down a cupsize

Met fluid goal yesterday, need to keep it up and get the protein intake up. Just don't feel like eating/drinking, but need to get in the habit. Otherwise doing really good, feeling more energetic today, and arthritis is even less pain than it has been. Still working from home, which was a good choice.
