Random Thoughts Thread

I thought it would be cool to have a random thoughts thread. :)

Surgery or non-surgery related. I know I sometimes have thoughts that aren't really "thread worthy" but I'd still like to get my thoughts out...or typed out. :)

I don't see any warning for you just me..

This is from the main site

That's good to know. I thought it was just me. :P

I can't see yours on my page.....can you see mine? I so hate this!

Yes I can't see yours on my page......Your still #1 in my book..... :P

I think the warning points are only visible to you. You see yours and no one else's. :)

random thought #1:

I'm kinda tired of people noticing my weight loss this week. I'm just ready to be a goal and have that be who I am, and not need to be congratulated so often on "lookin goooood". ....but maybe I'm being an ungrateful grouch?

random thought #2:

At high weight, I had a closet full of clothes from 24 to 14. I'm slowly getting rid of the bigger sizes as I work my way down. Was happy this morning that I was able to put my 18 jeans in the "donate" bag and slip on some 16's. Then I came to work, and one of my friends told me my jeans are too big.....smh

random thought #3:

I guess pretty soon I'm going to have to do real shopping and not just closet shopping. Actually not sure how I feel about that...excited AND scared!

I can't wait to start shopping at Banana Republic!

Oh hey guess what? Went to a local clothes Mentor store. And bought a CASHMERE banana republic hoodie for $10! Woo hoo! Can't until you have can shop at the real store instead of my cheapo version :)

Random thoughts as surgery gets closer:

What happens if this doesn't work??

Oh my god, I can't eat that for awhile can I...should I do this (usually I answer this one right away, YES)

I would love to wear a normal size pair of boots and a cute pair of jeans. Can't wait to shop at normal stores.

Also...I keep thinking about talking to my mom about post op plans. So she asks me about surgery...so this is a pretty easy one...they just put like a sleeve over your stomach...like a shirt? WHAT?! I stared at her for a full five minutes, then laughed for another full 5...then explained it to her. "Oh so that's why you need a week of. I was going to say, aren't you being a bit dramatic for them just hooking a garment over your stomach?" If we didn't laugh, we would cry right?

My tummy is full of pumpkin cheesecake protein pudding and chicken taco -black bean casserole.

It's not a tummy....it's a pouch....er....sleeve.

Random thought: I want to be able to bend over without holding my breath and/or grunting. I want to be able to squat down and not need to hold on to something to get back up.

My random thought of the day: As I was walking past Victoria's Secret at the mall the other day: One day soon I will be able to fit into something there other than their perfume!

Getting out and spending time with people is such a boost to the spirits!

My boobs are deflating.

Today is a new day, now where do I begin? :P

Hey, me too :). A whole day of fun and excitement - I am pretty sure my head may explode with information overload!
