Perhaps the word "fight" should be removed from this description?

Gripe, complain, moan, debate, rant and rave might work?

I'm sick and tire of being on my back (insert dirty joke here) ! When can I sleep on my stomach or side????

@@rayanne, are your stats updated in your profile? I was just checking it out and it says you are pre-surgery, yet you have a surgery date and I was curious if your other stats were updated?

Two weeks post for me. You'll know when you are ready and your body will tell you when it's not! My wife made an embankment of pillows for me which allowed me to transition nicely.

@@PdxMan

no they are not I will update them soon

I would love to unload on this topic with all my craziness, but I will keep it on www.deviantart.com instead.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I have this new small body body and am having trouble finding cute summer dresses to buy. I wear size 4 in pants but need smaller in dresses. Went shopping only to find very limited supply of size 2 dresses. And the ones I found were low cut of v neck, not flattering for my A cup.

Yup. I might taser you first. :D

Was thinking...cry me a river. I wish I had your problem.

I made a cloud of pillows after surgery, with my head a lot higher to counteract the acid, and I have gotten used to it. I still sleep with 4-6 pillows at 8 months, I like it :P

How about stinky running shoes? Trying on too many clothes because you have so many choices now and spending money you shouldn't? LOL.

Was told this week that I was gaunt and had too much neck skin hanging and that is why she knew I had gastric bypass..

What the H*ll?...Now that could be a rant!

People say the damndist things don't they?! :(

Time to hide in the closet till plastics can fix my ugly ass!!!!!!!!!!!

I was told my face & neck look like Tales of the Crypt and that I needed to gain 30 pounds back.

To hell with them. I'd rather look like it than be dead in a crypt. I got a panni. I'm done with plastics. And done giving a damn about who thinks they have a right to an opinion about my weight or my looks

how rude some people can be! I'd try to think of some snappy comeback but they just don't deserve the energy that would take.RJ just keep on standing out in the sunshine... To hell with them!

Try jokes about wearing children's clothes, that pants dont go into negative sizes, kids underwear, shrinking away.

Wow why can they not just be happy with our success? Backhanded compliments are the worse u look great but u have hanging skin....really??? Screw them!!!
