  1. Laura, I feel bad for you feeling bad!!! I think you are having a little post op depression, maybe from the anesthesia and "let down" from being so pumped up pre-op? I hope you feel better real soon. Mimi
  2. What a beautiful bride you are and that dress is absolutely gorgeous...prettiest one I have seen in a long time and it is so figure flattering!!! Best wishes for a long and happy marriage. Mimi
  3. YAY!!! Way to go!! Keep up the good work and enjoy your Wii!!! Mimi
  4. Laura, I am glad you got the pain meds, it will help your recovery. I am also happy for you that the drainage has slowed down. Hang in there, and make haste slowly! Mimi
  5. Laura, you are being very hard on yourself!!! You are still fresh post op from major surgery and you will need pain meds. Listen to that smart DH of yours. This too shall pass. Mimi
  6. Always do what your doctor says. There are as many ways to do it as there are doctors. You might want to express your concerns to them ahead of time so they can reassure you. Do they have a nutritionist that you could touch base with? Mimi
  7. Oh, Laura, you are looking so wonderful!!!! You are doing an awesome service to us by posting the pictures and keeping us informed the way you do. Thanks a million. Mimi
  8. Wow, Becca, that is huge!!! The pounds are really going to melt off now!!! Mimi
  9. Laura, thank you for the pictures, it was kind of you to post them and I appreciate it. You look positively svelt, even with the binder!!!! Can't wait to see the unbound version of you!! Mimi
  10. Allie, I am so happy you found a doctor you can be so enthusiastic over! The plan sounds wonderful and even though I am sorry you lost your job, I am happy you will have uninterrupted recovery time. Mimi
  11. Laura, I am happy you are doing so well. How many drains do you have? Can't wait for the before and after pictures. Mimi
  12. I am glad you were persistent and got a little unfill!!! I am happy you are feeling better now. Best wishes for continued success. Mimi
  13. Ha, my hot fudge brownie sundae trumps pasta and donut!!! Seriously though, I like both your attitudes....there has got to be food pleasure in our band lives!!!! Mimi
  14. 5 cc is excellent, my place started at 3 cc and only filled every 6 weeks at 1 cc per fill under 5 cc. So it took me a very hungry 12 wks AFTER my first fill to get where you will be at your first fill. I am happy for you. Mimi
  15. I agree that your Rx is your Rx and there is no law saying how long it must take you to finish a bottle. I wouldn't even point out that I knew it was expired. Please keep us posted and best wishes. Mimi
  16. Amy, ask about their unfill policy. Many places only charge for the fill, not the unfill. Best wishes. Mimi
  17. Stacy, I am happy you are going in to your doctor. I understand your concerns about them taking too much out. I hope it all goes well and you can start enjoying life again. Mimi
  18. This is a bit expensive, but could you afford a personal trainer for a few weeks? Getting one really helped me get past my plateau and start back on the losing track. Now I can't imagine doing without her!!!! Good luck. Mimi
  19. You are doing great, Laurr. Keep up the good work!!! Mimi
  20. Dick's Sporting Goods and other stores like that have chairs with rated weight limits. I feel your concern...I tried a chair like you described and it collapsed with my fingers in the bend. The collapse caused the chair to rip off the tip of my ring finger. I am extra cautious now and was delighted when I saw the rated ones at Dick's. Mimi
  21. Their sirloin dinner is very good, if you can eat steak. You can always get bacon and eggs and other breakfast type food. Mimi
  22. Teri, you are beautiful and sure don't look like you need to lose that much more weight. Congratulations on how well you have done. Mimi
  23. If you have a Bed Bath and Beyond they have a large selection to try out. The one I picked had a very large read out and was $34.00 minus a 20% coupon. Good luck. Mimi
  24. You are awesome, Kelin!!!! You have stuck to it and look amazing. Congratulations. Mimi
  25. I am embarrassed FOR him since he doesn't seem to be embarrassed for himself. Jerk. Mimi
