    If I waited on my husband to wash the dishes, they would never be done!!
  2. Carrie_C replied to Carrie_C's topic in The Gals' Room
    Yes, my Mom is the same way!
  3. You are right about the spread eagle position, but I think you will be fine. As someone else said, they deal with stuff like that all the time.

    I'm not domestic either! My Mom is VERY domestic, but I didn't inherit that gene!

    What I really hate is washing dishes. I don't mind anything else. I don't have a dishwasher, so it seems like it takes forever. I also hate ironing. Most of my things don't have to be ironed much, except sometimes my scrub clothes for work. But I always put it off until the last minute possible.

    That's the truth!
  7. I have never done one. My Mom does them all the time, but I don't know if they help. She stays constipated, and she says they help, but I just wonder if she is making it worse.

    LOL froggi!!!! Mine are the same way!!
  9. I'm sure it will work for her. Not eat for 6 months!! I'm glad I never heard of that diet befor my surgery!
  10. I heard that Cigna has changed their requirements, so you might want to find out.

    I know, I told my husband if he would do what I say I won't nag him!

    No, I didn't have any pain afterwards. gg, you are right about my husband! He actually did do some things around the house this morning. Why do we have to get mad at them before they do something!!
  13. I know what you mean about the bathtub, I feel the same way.

    I was wondering how long everyone had to wait to do house work, especially vaccuming and laundry. I had my surgery on 5/22 and I wasn't supposed to do either one for 4 weeks. But I ended up having to do it today because my husband is a jerk and refuses to do it. I can't look and nasty floors for 2 more weeks, not to mention, I had nothing to wear. Now I'm afraid I might have hurt something. How long did everyone else wait?
  15. Hi, your wife is very lucky, you sound like a great husband! I wish my husband was as supportive as you. Your wife will definitely need some help around the house. I had my surgery on May 22, and I am not supposed to vaccum or do laundry for 4 weeks. But I ended up having to do it today (only 2 weeks post op) because my husband refuses to do it and I can't look at nasty floors for 2 more weeks. Just keep in mind that she may be grumpy the first few days. The first week was pretty rough for me. Good luck, and I'm sure she will be fine.
  16. I want to be able to wear a sexy pair of low rider jeans! And I also want to wear that 2 piece everyone is talking about! I also am looking forward to holiday get togethers where I am not the fattest person there. I want to be able to join the YMCA and take all those aerobics classes that only the skinny girls do. I want to have pictures taken of me and not run from the camera like I do now. I want to be able to go to theme parks and ride EVERYTHING. I want hot construction workers to check me out!!
  17. It seems like going bald has suddenly become normal, at least with a lot of girls I know. All of my female coworkers say that they shave all of theirs. (Yea, we talk about weird stuff!!) I have even heard of GUYS shaving all of theirs as well!
  18. I don't think you will have a problem with the dates. I have Cigna as well. They weren't that picky with mine. But the doctor said Cigna expects a 10% weight loss with the 6 months plan. But all pans may not be the same.
  19. I took a week off, and I'm really glad I did. I have heard of people going back sooner, but there's no way I could have. I had a rough couple of days. But it was still worth it.
  20. I think what you might have read was to avoid fibrous foods. But that doesn't necessarily mean things with fiber. What it means is foods that are very dense, like celery or brocolli stems. Things that are hard to chew well. At least that is how it was explained to me. I take the chewable fibercon from time to time.

    Me too. I have back boobs!! EWWWWWWW
  22. Carrie_C replied to Froggi's topic in The Gals' Room
    I agree, tampons or maxipads would scare them off for sure!!
  23. I'm so glad I'm not the only one who feels that way! I can see trimming, but going bald is too far for me!

    I have natural curly hair too. But I have to keep mine long. It doesn't look good short. I look like orphan Annie!
