'fustrated' ... hello ... there's an "R" in there ...

Can you scratch itches you couldn't reach before??? Right now, I have an itch and - dammit - I can't reach it but I just know if I was 150 pounds, I would be able to. more than likely, yup ... :thumbup: Do bras fit better? Sexy push-up underwire bras - will I once again be able to pick one off the rack and have it look awesome? yes ... yes yes!!! but when you lose the weight the girls tend to go first... Casique (sp???) has great bras that lift what you have ... fabulous (and sexy)... for the first time in my life, i have matching bra / panties!!! When I tie my athletic shoes, will the bows be in the middle instead of all the way over to the side because I had to cross my leg over my knee in order to be able to tie it? LMAO ... yup ... and you'll be able to cross your ankle over your thigh to put your socks on! :thumbup: BELTS - will I wear belts? Cute outside of my shirt/top kinds of belts? yup, i even **gasp** tuck my shirt in now.. :thumbup: Will I be able to put a napkin in my lap and have it catch any food spills - is it possible I will no longer have to worry about the front of my shirt always being the culprit when I am not as careful as I should be at meals? yeah... although im a klutz and still drop stuff on the girls... :thumbup:

are you stressed? recent mawwage (i love pwincess bwide), upcoming surgery ... stress always tightens me up.

yeah, i had to do it... it was just incredibly rude and uncalled for ..

no, we're not... not as well as the oil companies .. by far. last time i checked, our jet fuel was 120ish a barrell. i deleted the email i received yesterday that quoted how much it was, but when it comes today, i'll post what it is. and MacMadame, i agree... some of the very top execs do get the huge pay outs and it really does tick some of us off, but you know, they run the airline and do have a lot to deal with... im not making excuses, but just sayin ...

i'd either go with 2 or 3. i know its a lot of time and trouble, but you need to be completely healthy for your surgery and i dont see liquids / mushies giving you adequate nutrition to prepare for surgery. its fine for pre/post op and post fill but for a few months before a MAJOR surgery ... not so much. BUT, if it's like Steph said, if its cause you havent chewed properly lately, etc... then wait and get the unfill until right before PS.

i've thought about it ... but to be honest, i dont think i could push myself that hard. i'd need someone there... wonder if Jillian's available!??

be careful though ... the libido does affect the quality of sleep ... :thumbup:

i am staying on plan today cause weigh in is tomorrow ... and i'm actually looking forward to it! :thumbup: :thumbup:

LMAO!!!!!!!! :huh2::thumbs_down:

yup... even after i received a fill (still not back at sweet spot) i ATE ... gained too many to admit here cause i couldnt exercise... bad combo.. so i joined WW online, i have the structure i need now.. i folow 100% during the week and about 50% on the weekends when im more active and need more fuel. lost 8 pounds the first week alone... might be 1-2 this week - wednesday weigh ins.. good luck getting your fil... maybe call your LB surgeon and have him advocate for you..

well i can tell you im about 6 weeks out and the 'exteme pain' didnt last for more than 2 weeks ... even then it was come and go ... you'll do wonderfully!! :rolleyes2:

that would be me (working for an airline)... everyone in coach is more or less getting equal room (seats further back seem to be squished a bit closer together)... equal for everyone .. just because someone has 4 inches to spare on both sides doesnt mean that everyone has to have 4 inches to spare ... everyone gets the same sized seat - that is equal ... yes, it sucks flying fat. i've flown to many international destinations fat (try flying in coach to china on a chinese airline - not so much fun for the huge fat chick ...) one of the many reasons i had the surgery was because i work for an airline and have all these opportunities to fly across the world, but didnt want to do it fat.

congratulations. you look so happy!

confidence has soared i had been applying for internal jobs at my company for a good 7-8 months, would get an interview, but no second / offer.. the first job i applied for after i lost about 60 pounds, not only did i get the second interview, i was hired... i can play with my DD i RUN!!!! i can do just about anything without getting winded (sex included) sex is amazing now (was ok before - now amazing) my life has completely changed for the better.

BBK!! OMG! you rock!

i usually just completely ignore stupid, ignorant people. what she did was beyond childish. i just get up and leave.

i hear ya!! and thats just for 5 days a week!!

i am staying on plan today cause it makes me feel good.

thank you ... you know ... i never thought of that ... the answer would be... YES!!!!

you can do it she!!!! my plan for the week (in miles) M - 3 T - 3 W - 4.5 R - 5 F - rest Sat - 8 or more Sun - rest
