wewee. lots to think about. and everything makes sense. maybe its a do-all checks test lol. :wink2:

whoa, pretty cool. thank you guys :biggrin: when i had wisdom teeth pulled, because of my asthma, they couldn't "put me under" but...i was watching the whole thing, and in pain .. lol. so i am still kinda freaked out.

i got scared about mine , and my bf said he'll buy me new ones, if i have to. LOLOL. lets hope we don't need to though. YOU KNOW WHAT?!? lol. this was so weird.. i was at the Dr. getting my date, and i locked my keys in the car and my best friend came to unlock me! AND in the parking structure, with my bf and i, she turned and gave me a serious look " YOU know how BIG your boobs are going to look when you lose weight!?" LOL...what the?!? haha. she's like...size G or H or something, so it was strange coming from her. lmao.

LOL i think i want to joke mine also. haha. i'm mean like that. :crying: BUT MANNN!!!! i am getting surgery ON my bday. and no freakiness!?!? lol. i am going to have to... make some kind of arrangement, ie: go to his house the night before. LOL, wake up, get crazy, then go home? HAHA. get ready for surgery @ 2pm. :redface: *gasp* lol.:thumbdown:

congrats! mine will be 9-8. eeeeeeee lol. :Dhave u started pre-op diet?

mannnn... lol. i joined a class. probably a horrible idea at my weight because i am short, and can't do most of the warm-ups and they are all on the floor. i wanted to cry. but i am going to stick with it. =/ lol.

i want to do this.. tribal fuision. [ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=N3ez8dhip_U]YouTube - Tribal fusion Bellydance - Orientalia 2007[/ame]

so, how does this compare to other exercises? is there just as equal of a chance of getting a good aerobic exercise, and tone the core? :drool: i can already tell that it's fun, and by your experiece, u can feel it working !

ok ladies and gents. :w00t: i have come up with a way to stay inspired. an encouraging project that comes from YOUR SOLE INSPIRATION. whether you are barely creative or crazy creative..i think you should do this.. :sad: along the lines of scrap booking, collecting, clipping, drawing..etc. *************** take the time to think of what you REALLY WANT. now, go out and find it. -online, pictures, words, QUOTES, phrases...omg, endless. newspapers, magazines, HELLO! easy one, just chop those oldies up. hahaha. etc etc. (everyone picks up a magazine and always thinks "i wish.." so...keep those wishes.) take the clippings, collections, pieces..MAYBE even old clothing tags..or VS logos..LOL. u name it... PUT them all together!! arrange them in the way that you wish. whatever looks most awesome or beautiful to you, and think of how you want it to be used. for a private deal...make it into a journal. u can write, cut, paste, glue, etc. and take it out every day, read it all once, look at every item, imagine that it's already yours, it fits you BEAUTIFULLY, etc. (however each of your items comes into play, act it out via daydream. this will enforce your subconscious to adjust to being there already. and when you do this....it's the law of attraction. and you bring what you attract. *yes, i am obsessed with The Secret.* hahah. for guys...don't wanna get crafty? lol. get a cork board and some pins at the dollar store and go wild. lol. cut out the chicks from playboy or something. haha. anything. LOL. goes for the ladies also. haha. for showy...put it on your wall, just like the cork board. get one of those old picture frames at a yard sale and put...paper or cork in it and slap it all in there. make sure that you place it where you can see it every day so that you are constantly reminded of the things that inspire you to do the things you do. if you feel down or guilty about something...turn it around and realize why you are really taking this journey. :mad: for myself...i will try to adjust to the changes because...i haven't even begun. lol! i will want to put pics of healthy food up, etc. ALONG WITH ALL MY GLAMOROUS THINGS! :eek: i've had this idea for a couple days now, and i just turned on the printer so i can go search for some of things i think of most, and bring them to life. :thumbup: *********** please let me know what you think, if you have any additional ideas that may help ME, or anyone else! AND, i would love to see if you guys have done this, or are going to! take pics! <3 --random note. lol. (when i get my band, i want to take pics of me every day and put it into a video. so i can MORPH! 4 realz! :blushing:) like this.. haha [ame=http://youtube.com/watch?v=6B26asyGKDo&feature=related]YouTube - Noah takes a photo of himself every day for 6 years.[/ame]

that's a cool idea. LOL. what if we danced to ONE SONG, over and over, like... once a week, or month, and put it together, into a video with the ONE song? haha. i dunno. seems kinda embarrassing hahaha. but it would be cool. LOL

you get the band, time passes, you are lighter and ppl ask how you did it. what do you say? i think it'd be cute to say "i eat a lot less and i exercise a lot more." haha. because, as we have learned...there is a lot that people don't understand about it. and they are quick to make judgement. but..maybe if the person is heavy, it'd be nice to tell them because they'd really like to know. whatcha think?

let us know how it goes! <3

so how was it? or what is it? lol. exercise test? see if your heart can dig it? was it difficult?

ok, i just masterminded my schedule lol! thank you for getting me to focus. :confused_smile: :tt1: instead of my last requirement lingering in the 3rd tues of july, i made it july 1st! lol *eee*

my name is Kristy and i just started my process! :cursing: i am overly excited and day-dreamy. lol. i went to meet the surgeon today and he was telling me the important stuff to do after the surgery and just said a few things about it. it was SOO quick. crazy. it took 2 hours to get into the patient room, but once he came in...psshh.. 10 or so mins and we were done. i got the info and i need to make dietitian appt. very excited. the room was crazy, one wall was window and ...they have you in a chair facing it. i was like..whoa. better not fall forward lol. my mom went with me and as you can see, she's thin. she lost 150. :cryin: she had gastric bypass. in the pic, she is pointing to Angel's Stadium. perrrddyyy craaazyy. the doctor was impressed with how much i had with me lol. i had my letter, my years of records with primary doc. and my weight loss attempts. my mom joked and said that i want it done tomorrow and the doctor said .."you got cash?..haha" ......PFFT. lol. i told him 20 cents on me. he said to add a few zeros. hahah! HA. hahah. crazy. then he said with a smile, "i see you have a list of questions for me....." haha. i was too embarrassed to ask most of them HAHA. he covered the rest, so i only had a few. lol. cool stuff. i can't wait. :sad:

eee :tt1: yay 4 u. glad you feel better and it just gave me perspective. lol. i had menstrual cramps today, they came straight from hell and i wanted to claw my walls. i've never felt like that in my entire life! but...this tells me that surgery can't be worse than cramps.. right? LOL. yess :tt1: i plan on my date being in mid-july. if not sooner. which, probably isn't possible lol. i have to have 2 support group attendances and a behavioral change thingy. they are ALL ON TUESDAYS lol. and...on the same ones. :confused_smile: grrr. so it's like...one or the other..until the NEXT MONTH. AH! lol.

wow. never had surgery before...well...a couple years ago, pulled wisdom teeth and they took my tongue ring out. lol. SO!!...:out:....can we keep body jewelry in? as long as it doesn't interfere with the ... surgical vicinity? lol. or is it one of those things...metals not allowed..or something? lol. :wink2::blushing::smile:

thanks for all the info! :tt1: and...hotmamma! wohoo~! haha. i totally wrote that down. and froggi...LOL. you reminded me that my nose was pierced. hahahahaha. i swear i am not blond. :confused_smile:

thank you guys! :confused_smile: i had asked the surgeon what tests would be done and he said "eh.. stress echo and labs.." LoL..i was like.. huh? so is that normal? or are there hidden tests? lol

:smile::scared2::out::scared2: OMGGGGGGGGG lol. i thought i was over-reacting when i asked the quessssstionnn. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lol. omg. i'm really scared now. haha. i don't want them to heal up! (my chi-chis.) :wink2: thank you guys for the info. but holy damn.. lol. what about retainers? haha. mannnn. i totally didn't think about this when i saw the dr. today. grr!

holy WOW! lol. when did your process start!? :smile: i hope mine is as quick as yours :wink2:

that's really good to hear. because i had the same question. i was wondering how long after, you can start moving, exercising, not having to worry about messing it up. no one wants to go back into surgery if it slips, or errodes, (whatever that means lol) or,..if your port messes up. i was even wondering if the tube inside you would be long enough. like...what if i got to the size when i wanted to do something crazy, i would be scared of trying to contort or stretch and the cord would come loose inside or something lol. those things freak me out. i don't want ANYTHING to move. but I want to move. you know? this is actually my biggest question. and everyone here is saying that you can still do these things, but it will be SORE because the body isn't used to it yet. which is a cool thing to hear. the pain is from soreness...and newness...and not from "OMG i think it pulled and it's moving" lol. or something along those lines. plus...watching the movie of the surgery also helped because i saw that they stitched around it. (the band). but i didn't see the port being stitched in. lol. NOW...since reading ppl stories on here, i read that you shouldn't throw up or sneeze after surgery, so you won't mess the band up. holy moly! lol. with my luck, worrying about something will bring it to happen. SO, i am just going to chill out hahah. :thumbup: heck...i don't even know that i am a candidate yet. hahhahaha.

my bf didn't say too much, but surprised me with comments like "next time we come here, i will be eating pizza and you will be eating baby food." haha. and he has also said things like "now that she lost weight, she thinks she's too good for her husband so she will ask for a divorce." about someone, like..in a stereotypical sense. i didn't say anything...lol. i was like...whoa. what was that about? so, he probably just picks up what he hears from .. tv? or whatever, right? lol. but he is a lil bigger than me, we love each other, i met him at a BBW club. hahahah. annnd i KNOW that he likes skinny girls because i watch him check out his roommate's girlfriends....... :thumbup:. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. BUT...my day will come. his roommates will be talking about me, soon enough . and THEN...i dunno. hahahha. i'll just have that chunk of confidence that i am missing at the moment. i got a good word of advice from this thread...good will be stronger and the weak will deflate. i think we have a pretty strong relationship. so...this shall be interesting lol. AND YES! those guys..pshhh. i can't wait to get my life on track and then go to my 10 year high school reunion and say HA!! SEE!! i am .. pretty. hahah. it's just a lil more obvious now. hahahha. WOW. high school was horrible and my senior pic sucked hardcore. i looked like a chipmunk. on top of that..........they spelled my name wrong and when i picked up my year book, they handed me a box of TINY names...all MY NAME. they wanted me to go around, giving my name sticker to everyone in the entire school, to place over the spelling error. HA!!!!! NO WAY. lol. you think i want to point out that pic..and say...HERE, take my sticker because the school messed up, and remember that face with this name!??? haha. naw. lol. terrible.
