Didnt know they did that! This is the first year in forever that I dont have to buy school supplies! Seems unreal. We were at walmart today and my 18 yr old says' date=' " better get supplies soon. Oh wait..." was too funny. Guess she forgot she graduated![/quote']

It's kinda a weird sensation..I hate doing it but is kinda a excitement too!

Weighed in at 253.2 today! That is 50lbs down from 4-22 surgery and 87 total! Even though I thought id be further in my weightloss' date=' 50 lbs in 3 months is ok. My original goal for myself was 80 in 6 months which I can hit, and beat! Happy today! Now off shopping for supplies for grad party♥[/quote']

Yay ! Congratulations :)

Missed all of y'all today..I'm such a junkie here <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> I've had a rather busy day and 2 more just like it left to go. I missed checking in on everyone.

In FL we have "tax free weekend" where it's basically a savings for back to school buying. Thought I'd be in the clear waiting to go after work tonight as Fri was nearly over and the weekend is usually the worst..oh no..craziness! Thank God I just have one kiddo and my step kids do theirs with their mom. If anyone ever watched the movie Fried Green Tomatoes and remember her ramming the car yelling Tawanda..that's about what I felt like doing with my buggy <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

hoping since clothes are included as a savings I might can pick up a few things for me to wear this weekend.

Very brave of you. I'm afraid of tax free weekend lol

We're having tax free in NC as well. As a teacher' date=' I take advantage to get some supplies for my classroom. I also try to get my parents to buy things for the classroom as well. This will be the first time I actually buy some clothes for me! I can't wear anything that I've worn the past 10+ years. Yayyyyyy![/quote']

This is so exciting :) love it!

My boobs are like a size smaller now. I have like 50 vs bras that are too big :( I had to resort to wearing the fake gel padding thingies. When I use to be skinny and had no boobs I hated it when I nursed and they got big but now that I've had them I know what a good thing I'm missing lol it's like saying goodbye to an old friend... Thanks for letting me complain for a moment !

Btw I love my surgery and wouldn't change a thing:) just didn't anticipate missing them so much!

I can relate. I think I may be a 42B from a very full 42C.

I could care less if I got rid of this saggy belly skin. But I'm mourning the loss of my bodacious Ta Tas!!

You guys made me laugh a little. I've been wanting to post the same complaint for a while. Even though I was big all over they kept me proportioned. Now they've shrunk but the gut belly is still there. Sux!!

But still!!

Lol yes I had d and now I think I'm barely hanging on to a c right now. They were like a secret weapon lol but really they have become an important part of my womanhood and after nursing three boys they are not only shrinking but Droopy too:(

Well here's another one good for a laugh. I was pretty fit during my school years and I danced and I was thin and my chest was soo small. So one day I wanted to impress a boy and wore a water bra to make them look a bit bigger. Well it actually started to leak during our conversation!! So embarrassing lol. Well last night I went out country dancing and of course my bra didn't fit and I used the little padding thing with the liquid in it that I've had since my wedding ( they just don't make wedding dresses for girls w small boobies :) ) anyhow the whole night I was so worried that I would leak or one would fall out lol I was totally traumatized from my high school experience:)

Oh and I have the belly issue. That is where I gained most of my weight. It's mush:)

Mine are finally a more "manageable" size! :)

My neighbor just called and said he is having a party today. Excited to see some good friends. One I have seen since I was down only 10 lbs. Wonder if she will recognize me! LOL! Have a great weekend all!

Lmao. Sorry to laugh but you really had me cracking up. Ill share one with u too. In high school I was already a 38dd. All I wanted was to be like my friends. It wasn't working. I tried underwire bras and they popped out all over. The wires showed in the front on the sides. It was horrible. I sat at a high-school football game literally ripping the underwire out of my bra. My friends were cracking up. I swore underwire out if my life forever. Now that I've lost some weight and started drooping. I decided I needed new bras. So I got fitted and tried everything on. I decided on an underwire. The night before my cousins engagement party -to which I was gonna wear it for the first time - I woke up in a sweat from a dream that the underwire was poking me all over again and there I sat in my fancy dress pulling out the wires in the middle of this party. Oh the things that haunt us.

You should think about the gel inserts to be safe. ;)
