shanda, isn't that body thingy very hot? Sounds very uncomfortable for now. . how are you doing? are you feeling better?

I totally HATE exercise. . would rather have a root canal, but i know i have to do it. . i'm not sleeved yet, but don't want to be sick. . . what i do everyday (except for Sat and Sun) is include my workout as part of my job. . . I leave my job at 5pm and drive home, but on the way I turn the other way (about 10 miles from my house) and go straight to the gym. . . cursing all the way of course you know. . . i do my treadmill at 3.2 mph for 45 minutes and my random hill stationary bike on level 9 for 15 minutes and go home! I literally run out of the gym! But the next day i do it again. . . i've been doing this for quite some time now and must have the best BP on the earth. . . last doctor appt (last week) was 110/64 HR 69 . . . not too shabby. . . guess it pays off. .

Good Lord that picture totally cracked me up! I burst out laughing and near scared my hubbie to death! He was peacefully watching FoxNews and jumped. . . that made me laugh more! Thanks for sharing that! That made my day!

Hi! I'm glad to see you back in here! It seems all is going well for you! I'm so happy. . . Bathtub? I have the most beautiful garden tub and can't fit into it and if I do dare sit into it, forget about getting out! My poor hubbie has to come and haul and pull the monster out. . .it's so embarrassing :thumbup1:. . . can't wait!

My dog thought he was a person through and through. . . he would have to eat with me right there scratching his back, he would give me his paws to wipe if it had rained, he would howl and carry on for a bandaid if he hurt himself, if he fell down he'd come crying and get a hug, kiss on his nose and off he'd go like a dummy. . . all this and there he was 120lb giant german shepherd. . . unconditional love just like Chancies dogs, and yup treated me better then my own kids. . . he was a great buddy!

Thanks for that explaination! I had totally no clue either. . . I really hate acronyms. . . they drive me CrZy. . . hehehe:lol0:

Wow, your experience sounds great! Yes stitches can be a bit of a challenge if you've not done them before! It's great to know that they (Mexico) do other things as well. . . ummm, after my sleeve and weight lose, if I have tons of loose skin, I may just head over there to be fixed! Thanks for that enlightenment. . . I think antibiotics can distort the taste buds a bit!. . .good luck, hope you find your new journey enjoyable. . . keep us posted on your losses.. . .

being from Canada, we have kilos there, so when you said what you weighed before I just multiplied it by 2.2. . . figure that will help the same way. . . around that anyhow. . . wow, you are lucky to have horses and dogs and sheep and chickens. . . (I love baby chicks, they just follow you everywhere). . .I think animals just love people to give them love and care and they give love back 10 fold. . . they are so cute! Well let us know how you did when you weigh! Walking is excellant exercise. . . keep it up and you'll be so happy you did. . .

HA! HelenUk, you are sooo funny!!!

Well, I'm not an expert on the situation but my strong belief is "if it's not broke, don't fix it" . . I'm not a believer in vaccines like the flu shot or the swine shot, I'd rather have natural immunity. . . all I can say is that this vaccine is still considered an experiemental vaccine. . . the choice is yours. . but it's good you talked to Dr. Aceves. . . he'll guide you in the right direction. . . good luck. . .

Hi Haley and welcome! Don't be scared to weigh, you might be pleasantly surprised! But don't weigh everyday. . . i love animals too. . . all sorts. . well welcome to the forum and you'll find lots of really nice folks here and tons of tips and help if you need us. . .

oh tiffykins don't brag! hehehe . . . it's normal to feel weirded out when it comes to having intimacy when your hugh. . .I hate it. . . I have a normal sized husband too who (I think) never outgrew his teenage years in that way? (But then you know what they say about island men) anyhow, I hate the fact there he is and there I am. Clucky and sweaty and ugly. . . but he loves me as I am, and will even when I'm thin. . . his thing is he wants me around for a long time and not die from this obesity. . he is so sweet!

Susan, you are doing so well. . . if it was me I wouldn't be worrying about not being hungry. . . actually I am so going to embrace that. . . not eat, not feel hungry, lose weight, not be hugh anymore. . . how wonderful is that! Watch it all backfire on me. . . :sad0: Your doing great! Keep up the good work. . . you have lost a lot of weight already!:001_tongue:

How wonderful is that! I used to wear a hefty 58FF!!:001_tongue: Yup just call me well endowed! Then I got a breast reduction (wonder why?) they took 14 lbs off EACH boob. . .now I'm down to a tiny 42DD!:laugh0: And guess what they actually stay up and I don't need a bra! Except mine look funny, the surgeon had tons to work with so the result didn't come out quite pretty, but who cares, they aren't "throw over your shoulder" boobs anymore! After I get sleeved, I hope to lose a bit more in that area! Congratulations

Ahhh my dear, just think of it as payback to your hubbie! :laugh0:

How very exciting! I think all I can really say about advice is be happy and get ready for the big change! Don't worry too much (thats easier said then done) I was told that with the sleeve your changes aren't too hard to do, just think about what your doing and the rest will come to you. . . best of luck! You'll do just fine!

Wow MountainLover you must be the most patient person I know. . . this is why I refuse to do the insurance route. . .I don't like someone holding my decisions and life in their hands and make me jump through tons of hoops. . .I wish you all the luck and hope all comes out good for you. . .we know how hard it is to wait. . .

Wow that is really weird Tiffykins! I've read alot of the posts before and never heard of this one. . .

That is funny, from yacht to titanic!

Tiffykins! Your so funny. . . thanks for sharing, that was a great story!

Thank you ladies! Maybe it's just cause I'm so heavy right now. . . can't wait to lose it and freeze a bit! Carolyn - yes I live in toasty San Antonio, Texas, but this sweating thing is not new. . . I've been sweaty forever. . . as long as I have been heavy. . . hopefully it'll stop. . .it causes alot of problems between hubbie and me. . . i'll be sweating like a crazy woman and he's freezing, he'll tell me to turn off the A/C cause he is so cold, I just give him covers. . . he hates it. . . but should be used to it. . . last night was fantastic! It went down to 48F, I had those windows wide open and slept naked out of the sheet. . . it was fantastic, poor hubbie had on his pj's, socks, sheet, and quilt! Then woke up with a sore throat . . . hehehe. . . poor thing

Hey has anyone had pseudotumor cerebri? And along with it had the lumbar/peritoneal shunt placement? Did you have any trouble getting the sleeve after that? Did they do the surgery anyhow? I have a LP shunt for pseudotumor cerebri and asked the doctor if there would be any problems about 2 days ago and he hasn't responded. . . i find that weird. . . maybe someone can answer this question for me. . .I sorta concerned now

Awwww come on Tiffykins! You couldn't do the Beef 'N' Farina! or the Beef 'N Liver. . . awww our kiddos did good on it. . . hehehehe. . . isn't it funny how the kids did it but for us NO WAY!!!! That is like me and Boost or Ensure, there is no way on this green earth that I'll ever drink this stuff cause to me Boost and Ensure = old people in nursing homes. . . . nope not me! Actually I was thinking about baby foods too after my surgery and like the posts say "why not put baby food into our baby tummies?"

EEEEKKKKK! My makeup is all tattooed on! If it changes I'll be a real sight! Only kidding, I dont think it'll do anything, just eyeliner top and bottom and eyebrows. .

Hey everyone, after surgery does this irratating, hideous sweating ever stop? I could be living in an igloo and be sweating to death. . . I mean sweating all the time! It's not menopausal (had that checked) so it's just from being obese and too hot. . . gosh, tell me it stops!
