rafa2

so, I just read this thread and I was wondered what your gift ended up being?

My sex drive has increased since I started losing weight and I think that has a lot to do with feeling comfortable and confident...I'm not even half-way there with my weight loss but I feel much more comfortable while intimate with my hubby. And for that I think he loves my band as much as I do :thumbup:

for a 6' tall male that weighs 210 - no a 5' woman at 200 - yes It obviously would depend on height (bmi)...

I also had a 4 month plateau and it wasn't until my last fill on 9/7 that the scale finally started moving again and I think I've reached my sweet spot, too. I'm down 46 lbs, but now I'm believing again I can actually reach goal someday... after such a long plateau I started to think this wasn't going to work. I'm glad you're doing well and God bless you on your journeys!

At the place I go to, they pour the wax in a small, disposable container and use a plastic diposable spatula. I think it's important to check the place out first, talk to women you know who have done it in your area and find out the best place to go... And where I go, they only uncover the part they'll be waxing one at a time, so you're bever completely naked with your legs spread open:rolleyes:

Are you near TOM? I know when I am, I avoid the scale because I always go up a few #'s :frown:, but they come right at the end, so... among many other reasons, this could be it... Good luck with the weight loss and upcoming surgery :thumbup:

Wow, Nolan's an idiot...lol

If you go on lapband.com on the left hand side in the middle of the page there's a video you can watch that's very informative on how the surgery goes. Good luck on your journey!

My name is Rafaelli and my nickname is Rafa, but since they already had that, I added a 2 to it. Hence, Rafa2. BTW, I love this thread!

Well, I told quite a few people and, obviously, those people told other people... I sooo regret having opened my big mouth. As it turns out, I'm a slow loser and I hate the look I get from people when I know they're expecting me to have lost way more, since I had WLS. My family is extremely supportive, and they're actually happy I'm losing slowly since it it healthier, but ohers, man I just get so mad :biggrin: So those of you that are still going to have surgery and don't want EVERYONE knowing your business, I advise you to not tell (except your family, 'cause you will need some support)

:thumbup::lol:ROTFLMBO this thread is hilarious!

Awesome post!:confused:

OUCH!!! Harsh words...

Obviously there will be a difference in our tolerance to cold once we lose weight, but I'd still advise you to get your thyroid checked and make sure you're not anemic... Other than that, just enjoy the lack of sweat this summer:thumbup:

If they had concrete proof of the abuse, the state would not allow a settlement and they would file the charges, no matter what the boy or his family said. Just an FYI...

Great post, patty!:biggrin:

Well said!!!

My thoughts exactly. Being 26yo I was never a big fan, but I can't act disrespectfully towards his death knowing there are many people, most importantly his children, suffering so much right now. Peace!

I have only waxed my eyebrows and upper lip once because it hurt so much...but I get my Brazilian wax once a month :smile: I guess everybody's different...

I had the same problem, but I started chewing sugar free gum a few times a day and it has really helped...hope this helps...good luck!

Not to defend your hubby's behavior or anything but it's also important to take into consideration that you may be more confident and feel sexier now after losing some weight...and men can really sense that, and they find that confidence attractive and sexy...just an opinion. But if it's really bothering you, maybe yoou should try to talk to him about it, communication is key. Good luck!!!

DH and I still are still able to enjoy all the different positions we always did, the only time I feel my port is if I've just gotten a fill that day, and even so, it's very mild... good luck!
