Ela .... should have been WLS . Auto incorrect struck again

Haha maybe not that! [emoji12] [emoji13] [emoji14]

My husband's initial response when i said I wanted to do this "What about your ass" My reply "What does ela have to do with you" Haha I think you look fantastic! He needs to step up, less of you does not mean the vows he made no longer apply. He needs to get it together...

My body is big and my calfs are super small... always have been. I wish they were bigger haha! It's amazing they support me. I also have tiny ankles, weird looking connected to the top half of me lol.

Looking good!

Congrats!!!

Wishing you and your blessing the best!

Forgive my typos! My 7 month old fell asleep on my arm and my hand went to sleep haha. Still to awesome to move her though

Part of it is genetic... I have a friend with a very low bmi and pretty tenacious sagging skin and stretch marks after having children. She has never been overweight a day in her life, even pregnant. Her skin just is unfriendly. I on the other hand have been overweight my whole life. A him between 30-35 most of the time. On the few occasions I managed to drop the same 70lbs again, I have very little loose skin and my stretch marks fine and nearly invisible. The same can be said for scarring, some people scars are more noticeable with darker pigments and more raised while others scars nearly disappear. Obviously size and complications like infections certainly play a role too though. Just going to have to wait and see! Good luck

85 in a week? Seems like you are casting a very wide net. Might that come across in your messages to these women? As in less personalized? As someone who did the online dating thing myself some messages I would get from men would just get deleted not because of looks at all but because of content or lack there of... Of course that may not apply to you at all

Yeah... I have never heard of that either

This is my plan... I have heard really good things about the surgeon I have chosen.

Sometimes men forget that not everything is about them... him being happy with you is distinctly different then you being happy with you. I would just be honest about the way you feel... you should go for your goals! Congrats on doing so well and I hope you can get the hubby to get on board.

That's a full house!!! Congrats on the new baby!!! That's awesome!

I am not telling anyone... I am currently separated from my husband which few people know and my children are 5 years old and 8 months old. I just don't feel obligated to share this... my husband has always been naturally slim dispite eating fast food regularly. He believes weightloss is all a matter of self control and that my struggles as well as any overweight person is more of a reflection of how little we try or care about ourselves.

So

Really? Do you think people will notice? I suppose It depends on your starting weight if people will question it.

Haha yeah I actually tried to delete this thread but I can't find a delete button so I just changed the post.
