  1. Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  2. Way too dangerous.
  3. Yea, water slides are the worst! I remember last summer before I had my surgery I went to a water park with my family. There was 1 slide that said you had to weigh under 250 pounds to ride. Well, let's just say I was a little more than that. But my little brother kept wanting me to ride it with him, so I finally gave in. Lucky for me, I made it, but it was hard to enjoy it because I was too afraid I would get stuck. That sure won't happen this year!
  4. Yes, I definitely want a reduction. My left one is so much bigger than my right one, I just want them to be even.
  5. We don't have a Lane Bryant here where I live. The closest one is in the next city over. So I have to do all my shopping there online.
  6. I hear you, I live in Tennesse and it gets very hot here as well.
  7. I try not to pay any attention to what people say. They talk about us when we are fat and they talk about us when we aren't, so you can't win with some people. I had surgery in May and I have lost about as much as you. I have had trouble with my fills and being too tight, so that has slowed my loss. But I try not to let it bother me. It will come off, just not as fast as some of the others.
  8. I didn't know she had a line.
  9. I wasn't told to stop the pill before surgery. They actually stressed the opposite, to continue taking them so an accidental pregnancy didn't occur prior to or right after surgery.
  10. I'm very happy for all of you! (And I must admit a little jealous! lol). I have had a lot of trouble with my fills which has caused me not to lose as fast. But hopefully everything is straightened out now and I will start losing again.
  11. You are so right! I will probably have lost a lot more weight by summer anyway so maybe I won't be as worried about it.
  12. Yea, you are right. I am just really vain! I would love to wear some tank tops this summer!!
  13. I take them and I have had no problem. They are small and go down easy. My doctor also doesn't want us to get pregnant for at least a year. My doctor also says pills need to be the size of a pencil eraser or smaller. Anything bigger than that needs to be broken, crushed, or in liquid form.
  14. Dang, when I think of all the one night stands I've had that I could have charged for.... I'd be pretty rich!! LOL
  15. I have heard that it can cause the band to erode, so you might want to be careful.
  16. HA HA! Well, you know what I mean!
  17. That's great. It doesn't matter how we lose it as long as we do!
  18. Well, I have known a lot of prostitutes and they are just working, making money, and paying their bills just like the rest of us!
  19. Mine actually seems to be getting worse as I lose weight!
  20. Yea, most of them are the ones paying the prostitutes! Remember the New York governor? lol
  21. I don't exercise like I should either. I was doing really well before the holidays, but I have to admit that I used the holidays as an excuse not to do anything. So I am trying to start back.
  22. I agree, I feel more natural too than in the past.
  23. Am I a private person, yes very. Am I embarrassed about my surgey, no way! I was more embarrassed carryng around my fat a*s!!
  24. Just because they are prostitutes does not mean that "johns' have a right to mistreat them.
