@@Dub Great post at 4:31.

I wish I knew what hospital; I'd call the OR, nurses stations and admins to alert them: Buckle up and hold on! Dang.
PS [7:35 PM]: After reading the OP's response to me [5:55 or so] and others, I will now add to the above...an English/spelling book; a book about proper syntax; and most importantly, a STAT psych evaluation immediately upon the patient's arrival.
The non-medical person in me is cracking up: are we being punked? (Didn't Alex just post something about this approach?) But the physician/surgeon in me says serious "psychochopathology," maybe borderline personality/emotion dysregulation? And we don't even have to be a medical person to consider that.
Y'all have fun here.

Omg Dub!! I laughed so hard!!
I felled a little bad for her.... Not really

Here's hoping that your life continues to be felled with joy and positivity.

Consider taking some nice gifts for your hospital caregivers, too. Something tells me they are gonna earn them.....

If you don't want thoughts and opinions, don't post on public forums. I will post where I like, when I like.
You posted first, inviting opinion. Exactly why are you posting if you don't want people to support you?
Everyone, including myself, have only simply tried to help you.
As for the rest of the nastiness you spat in my direction, I shall simply ignore it and put it down to the stress of your pre op diet and upcoming surgery.
I know how hard it is to stick to a liquid diet, you must be having an effect on your emotions.

You do realize that when you post on here you are essentially asking for thoughts and feedback, right?
If you don't want thoughts and feedback, then post the picture on Pinterest.
NO ONE was even remotely trying to be offensive or insensitive to you. At all.

If forgot to also say that I would have this Brachioplasty again in a heart beat even with all the itching. My arms look great! The skin sans rash looks like it is 20 again, there is not a drop of cellulite anywhere and they are getting even thinner by the day. I can actually see my bicep.
My plastic surgeon told there is a tiny girl under all this loose skin.
It's fun when people call you tiny for a change.

@@JosieK I know this was ages ago, but great post, thank you!
@@mirandagirl hi - welcome to bariatric pal!

You have to change your mindset that you are doing this for the number on the scale to go down. Eventually we will be on maintenance where we don't want the scale number to move. We need to concentrate on fueling our bodies with the best things we can and being strong and healthy. Eventually, if we do this, we will be at that all "powerful" number. I've never been a huge loser. (I lost 10 pounds the first 2 weeks after surgery and stayed at that weight for another 6 weeks.) What I am is consistent. This has really helped me to concentrate on what is important. We are not in this for the short term- we are in this forever. Will it really matter if it takes 16 months to get to goal rather than 12? After we have maintained for a few years- I doubt it will matter. What will matter is that we learn how to change our lifestyle and our relationship with food. I thoroughly love eating! But I now know it is not my comforter or companion. If I don't deal with issues I'll eventually go back to my old "companion" and then I will have BIGGER issues (bigger me.) We can all do this! Each person's journey is unique. Be proud that you didn't give in. Eventually you will reap the reward. Good Luck!

I met someone out dancing...we are going to dinner later this week. I never get asked out, it's a Seattle thing, so this is a good thing to experience!

@@RILEYSMOM22,
I know this was more than 2 months ago. But just saw it and wanted to comment. This says EVERYTHING about him and NOTHING about you. Typically when people act this way it's based on insecurities. I think if someone said this to me I'd likely respond with "well I'm not used to being with someone so small (endowed)". . Hope your future experiences are better.

5 gallon buckets and lye works better.....leaves no trace. And that comes directly from a police investigator!
BTW, I have three cats and a good supply of batteries. Couldn't be happier.
