:tt1::frown::lol::confused::confused::confused: OHHH The mental images of that

Girl your playing with Fire drinking soda ! Im too chicken to even go anywhere near it ! ESPICALLY If your not drinking it flat . Mindy

I am not a big drinker and between only drinking about once a yr and the lapband it takes about half a glass of wine before I get tipsy . LOL It does not take much espically after surgery to get ya tipsy . Mindy

I go to a fabulous place here in town called the Waxing Studio so i think i'll go there soon and get it done . They are AWESOME . I will NEVER go to a nail place to get my eyebrows or any waxing done again . For just a few dollars more the waxing studio does SUCH a better job . Its locally owned but if you can find some place in your area that only does waxing i highly suggest it . The people that work in the nail places most of the time are nail techs that are not trained for waxing. The place i go they are licensed Aestheticians and it makes SUCH a difference ! So pay a little more money and go to a spa or something . HTH Mindy

I am not a big drinker either but Do have a glass of wine every now in then , watch out for anything carbonated. I quit smoking prior to surgery and its been over a yr now . My doc required it. Good luck on the Chantix i have heard good things about it . People have good luck with it . Mindy

since im still over weight I dont know about ya'll but its not the EASIEST position to get into to shave it . I never do a really good job. The girl that does my waxing for my eye brows and my lip is and i have become friends so i would probably be fairly comfy with her doing my waxing down there. I might talk to her about it when i go next. Mindy

Im curious for those of you who have been on metformin for a while what is your weight loss like ? I wonder if its any different than for someone like me who has PCOS and is on nothing ? Mindy

I have been prescribed metformin twice and never took it . my pcos symptoms have been some what controlled since loosing weight. I too hope and feel they will get better. When i was thin i did not have harldly any facial hair, hardly any pcos symptoms and my doc tells me that the symptoms will go away for the most part once the weight comes off. I have had PCOS since i was about 15 . Mindy

is this suppose to convince me to get on this stuff LMAO Mindy

It sounds like your eating too quickly and not chewing well enough . I know it probably seems like your chewing enough but when you think you have chewed enough chew 20 more times ! It takes a while to get use to and there is a learning curve, It takes some getting use to and I still have issues with it after 8 months . Mindy

What I do for pizza is one of 2 things. Eat the topping off the top if im at a pizza place . OR If im at home i make a crust less pizza. Take sauce, and all the toppings you would put on a pizza, sausage, veggies, cheese, ect, layer them in a pan like a lasagna and bake until the cheese melts , there you have a crust less pizza tastes JUST Like PIzza you can do the same thing with lasagna and leave out the noodles . HTH Mindy

It sounds like to me you could be eating too quickly and or too much. You might need to stop yourself BEFORE your full , this is a hard thing to get use to . There is a very thin line between satisfied and full. You need to stop yourself when your satifsified not full . Try only eating 1 cup instead of 2 or more. are you taking 30 minutes to eat a meal ? It should take you no more or no less than 30 mintues to consume your meal . HTH Mindy

OH I can not even imagine ! You poor thing . You are braver than I to even TRY IT ! Mindy

I agree that I think the doc should choose which band a patient gets , I dont think it should be based on whats the "Newest" on the market though. I think it should be based on what fits the patients needs. If that happens to be the newest one the market then thats the one they should get. But i dont think the patient should be choosing which band they get based on the newest or price either. Just my input Mindy

ROFLMAO OH MY GAWD Girl you are BRAVE. I'll wax my face but not my vajajay !!!! But i am with you , the waxers SURELY have seen nastier looking ones than mine . LMAO MIndy :eek::tongue::smile::lol:

Making my house "fool or Goof proof' is VERY Important. your house has to be "Safe" . NOTHING in my house is bad that i cant eat. When i get things such as Snacks or sugar free Cookies as soon as i get them home from the grocery store i take them out and divide them into portions in snack zip lock bags. for a few reasons. #1 so my kids know they can have ONE Bag not the WHOLE THING , ( they are not over weight but they are boys and EAT AND EAT LOL ) and for myself to know one bag is one serving . Its easier to NOT over eat that way . I have not bought junk in nearly 8 months. Sodas are not allowed in my house. Those were replaced by an ozarka Water dispenser LOL HTH Mindy

this is SO True. Everyone says their tastes change after surgery and mine was RIGHT after surgery . I could not eat Popsicles post op because they tasted like i was eating straight sugar, even the sugar free one's , just TOO sugary for me . Certain Soups made me gag. I was shocked how quickly my tastes changed. Mindy

Yes woman with PCOS are at a higher risk for endo cancer , we have to have at least 3 to 4 periods a yr . So once every 3 months is fine . that is why your doc should give you Provera to induce your period , no one should go 10 months with out a period THAT IS dangerous. I never went that long with out a period. I would induce my periods 3 to 4 times a yr . 3 times a yr is minimum my doc would prefer me to have them 4 times a yr . I dont get headaches I get massive dipilitating migraines with my periods that come on after 2 days of my periods. Im in bed and can not function or take care of my children . Headaches and migraines are 2 different things. i would MUCH rather NOT have period then deal with migraines. Mindy

I gain because im SO Bloated. I have jeans that are a size 14 right now that are too big for me , I can all but bet i wont be able to get those on tomorrow i'll be so bloated ! UGHH I Hate it , right now i feel and look pregnant Mindy

Yeah see i cant do any kind of Birth Control because of my migraines. I'll have to talk to my OB about it . The further apart my periods are the better. Before when I was not having them regularly I induced them 3 times a yr becuase that was the minimum i had to . That was fine with me that meant only MASSIVE migraines 3 times a yr . Mindy

I found that its too easy to freak out from seeing one day of a gain . Espically for me since I am so irregular for my periods. For instance, Yesterday i saw a 1pd gain , Ok , lets see what happens, today its still there, ok dont panic, what happens today ? I started my period. So that explains my gain. I find that MOST of the time there is an explanation for the gains . So it totally cuts back on the freak out periods. LOL Glad I could be of some help ! Mindy :eek:

I was only required to do a low carb , high protein 2 weeks prior to my surgery and my doc said my liver was fine as far as the shrinking went. But if I were you i would start following your docs advice now or you might risk not getting the surgery ! Mindy

I actually do not keep track of inches, I wish I had from the start and probably should. But I dont , I might. If you gained inches if your working out it might be gaining muscle . That would be my best guess ? Its logical .

ROFLMAO I am SO Glad you asked this , now that I can see that "area" down there I have been considering the same thing ! Curious to see the answers . Mindy

OH trust me i know I weight myself every day . But I have a "rule' I dont count gains unless and until i see the same # on the scale 3 days in a row. With the way a woman is and hormones ect its too wishy washy and up and down. So i dont count a gain unless its the same gain 3 days in a row. Also a gain is better than loosing your band. So dont keep yourself too tight its not worth it Mindy
