Liz The New Me

I need help, I am 7 months postop and i have been at a stall for 2 months, it is so frustrating i am drinking lots of Water and working out. I feel like my body won’t let it go. Has any one tried any quick fixes like lemon and water with chia seeds or a juice cleanse?

I'd just feel sorry for the rude guy. He must feel envious of his friend in some way, or he wouldn't resent his happiness. You've gotta pity the sad twonk!

How crappy, rude and insensitive. While It is true that men see size as very different than women do and have NO CONCEPT of actual weight, STILL no excuse to be judegemntal and rude.. so the BIG GAL he is speaking of could be 100lbs or 200lbs.

you have very right to feel offended. At 5;10 (but I used to be 6'0" until I got old and shrunk) I feel your pain.

What a dick.

ED NAILED THIS YOU ARE NOT BEING SENSITIVE WE ARE ALL HUMANS AND WE HAVE FEELING WHAT WAS HE THINKING (OR NOT) NO MANNERS AT ALL

This plus infinity.

Reminds me of a convo I’d overheard back in my college days between 2 frat boys.
They were being disgusting talking about women that had been to a party recently and one of them was giving the other one a hard time about being with the “fat” chick.
He literally said “ she was so fat that she probably weighed over 125 pounds”.

Now at this time I was 20 years old, 5’7”, and was rocking a size 6 and carrying 135 pounds and hearing this made me want to hide before they realized I was sitting on a bench on the other side of the hedge.

I was 135 pounds and felt “shamed” because of this convo between 2 pea-brained, immature idiots.

It’s soooooo wrong of me, but I really hope those guys are severely obese and bald and have ED.

I always think it's funny when Abraham Lincoln is given credit for this and many other quotes but it is true.

Also, guys have absolutely no concept of weight on a woman. 25lbs to him could easily be 50 - 100lbs in reality. Honestly, that's even more insulting but that's the way people are. I wonder if he was just insecure. 150lbs is kind of small for a guy. *Smirks* To me, anyway. So....reverse judgement go!

Some people engage their mouths before their brain!! Don’t let it bother you!! This says WAYS more about him than it does about his friend’s girl!!

He shouldn't have continued down that thread of thought out loud . . . People can be insensitive.

Incredibly rude indeed! And why does he care - he’s not dating her. Sounds like a total prick to me.

I went to dinner the other night with a group for my friend's birthday. Some of his other friends there that I didn't know, which is great, and I ended up sitting across from one of his male friends that I didn't know. Well, this guy started going on and on about a girl that his buddy is dating. He kept going on about how "big" and tall she is. He also mentioned that she weighs 25 pounds more that his buddy, who weighs 150. I finally said "um, what's wrong with being a big, tall girl". He didn't really reply. I don't think he meant anything by it, but I found it incredibly rude, and it's been bothering me ever since. I'm 5'10". I was wearing heels that night, so I was over 6', and I weigh 241, so the fact that he kept going on about how big a 175 pound woman was made me mad.

I had my insurance deductible all paid up. So there was no bill. But if there was I would always have them bill me. Once I paid them, then after all was entered into the insurance company I did not need to pay them. Took 4 months before I got a check back from them.

I paid up front the day of surgery but my part was only about $300

I paid USD 6K , hoping to get it claimed in taxes and health services.

My dietitian said there wasn't enough research to support the effectiveness of Patches yet, so advised against them. The only Vitamin I hated taking in pill form was Calcium, and I like the Kirkland gummies just fine.

OK so for me...It works. Pre-op was able to swallow all the pills. Post-op not a one. So I did the Patches. The one that did the most incredible work the I noticed right a way was the night time menopausal. The night time hot flash is under control. I put them on my stomach, hips, side or my arms. I change it around. I will wear up to 4 or 5. I figure cover all the basics. LOL hair, Multi, Calcium, sleep, Vitm. D, Anti-aging. I can't hurt. I can now take pills, so I do both. They had a special sale of 50% off and I went to town. Labs are good.

I will be having plastics down the line but trying to firm up as much underneath as I can. I used to love pilates.

I cant jump any more.....but have been wanting to try to learn again lol

Mat based pilates - there are plenty of YouTube videos and DVDs. Or you could take a reformer based pilates classes. Crunches are a waste of time. They don't do anything. Bridges work your butt not your waist. Planks will help.
I do mat and reformer based pilates for at least an hour each a week along with other things. You can shape those muscles, but some of it is likely extra skin and fat that isn't going anywhere unless you have plastics.

Let us know if it's working for you. I just bought a jump rope. Learning to be a kid again!!! Was not that good when I was younger and know it's just as hard to relearn to jump rope. Can't you tell I'm not that corradiated. LOL

This is my go to protein:

It tastes great and not grainy at all and it doesn’t have aspartame or stevia. 1 scoop has 100 calories 3grams of crabs and 20 grams of Protein.

I hear that! I'll pay when I know y'all did a good job lol 😂

Mine was $250 as well. I had my surgery at Overlake hospital in Bellevue through Kaiser. They asked me when I was checking in if I wanted to pay then and I said no, just send me a bill. I had too much on my mind at the time.

Billed me
