I thought it was easier to let he recliner push you up when putting the leg rest down. I slept on it for the first 5-7 days. I didn't want to think about getting out the bed. Each day was better.

You should be ok after a few days if you take it easy. Each day will get better and better. I slep in my recliner for a few days till it was easier to get in and out of bed.

Thankyou, I am sure you are looking great with your lost!

This is one week post-op. This is 9 months post This is 10 months with DH for Halloween.

Ok, I think we need to post some pictures of our selves and get to know each other better and see what we have accomplished. I know there is a before and after picture thread but it won't hurt for us to put our pictures here. What do ya'll think? I will try and post mine. I can't never remember how to do it, it takes me a little while.

<p> </p> <p>Thats how we use it, it has nothing to do with Racism, its another word for homie, if you know what I mean.</p>We have a lot of black friends , even ones that come cook over at our house.

Wow you need to put you a little weight tracker. That is awesome.

Congrats to you Tiffany, how are you doing on your journey?

How are you Julie? Hope everthing is well.

That is wonderful, you will be feeling great in no time. That is nobodys buisiness how you loose the weight. Anyone that says something negative, is just jealious plain and simple. I don't care what they say about me because rather they are talking about me now, can you imagine what they were saying when I was at my biggest. They are going to talk about you regardless. Well now they really have something to talk about when I go in public...lol

I wish I would have looked into this long time ago, I have been overweight all my life too. DOn't let anyone say you are too young, you have your whole life to look forward too and being overweight in this world is too hard. Good luck!

For everyone in her boat I would wait to tell everyone afterwards. I have a cousin who tryed to discourage me, she tryed to talk me into just haveing a tummy tuck instead because thats what she did. Well I rather get rid of the fat first then plan for that later. Whats the point of getting that done if you don't have your weight undercontrol and when you have cos. surgery like that without watching your weight you will gain in other places. She has talked about getting her legs done but why not spend the money on lapband instead, you have to start with weight loss first. Well bottom line I just think she was jealous because even though she had a tummy tuck she still has a weight problem.

MY mother and I were banded the same day. It is really good to go through it with someone near by so you can compare the different things you might eat or do. I know we pretty much stayed right on top each other on weigh loss. Maybe a few lbs different but neck in neck.

I feel that if it was maybe easier to have a tubal, there would be less people living on the Gov.System. I know someone that just kept having kids because she can live off the gov hand and foot. If I would have proberly had another child, but then I wouldn't have been able to give them what I can give the child I have now. You know it is sad when the Gov can give someone everthing when they don't work but someone that works has to pay for everything, and can't get any help at all. Not even childcare help because you make a penny too much. I don't beleive in bringing a child in the world on purpose knowing you can't provide a decent life for them. I do feel blessed that I am able to have a child, I feel for the people that want children and can provide a great life for one. It make s me so mad the ones on drugs and don't care, they have children like it is popcorn. The girl knew would still be haveing kids if she wouldn't have almost died having the last one, she ended up having a hystorectomy after the 4th one. She would be on #10 if that wouldn't had happen. It makes me so mad to see someone like that having children when there is so many that can't. Those of you who can't God will bless you in another way.

Bottom line they are just jealous!!!!!

Way to go:clap2:!!!! I am happy for you. You will not regret it. You will be feeling so much better soon. I am getting so close to go weight, but I am so happy and feel so much better, it wouldn't disapoint me if I didn't lose anymore. I feel so much better. Good Luck to you!!!

Thanks babygrl1234, I am trying to get him to go. It shouldn't be a problem with him, he is the one that didn't want any kids to start with. He is just a big chicken when it comes to doctors. You know how men are.:hurt

Where is everyone? How is everyone doing? Is everyone ready for the Holidays coming up? I am so ready and excited to see people I haven't see in a long time. Well I hope everyone has a Happy and Safe Halloween.

My husband hates going to the Doctor, he is worst that my 7 year old for shots...lol. I don't the think the band is an issue but after losing what I have lost, I know for sure I don't want anymore. Thanks for you response.

Boxers are wonderful!!! I always had one since I was a kid. They are wonderful with kids, we will get another next year and maybe start breeding them. I am sure our climate is about the same, never know what you will be wearing in the morning... Its chilli right now but it may be so hot in the morning...lol. My mother has a green thumb, I wish she would give it to me. She can grow anything, she just takes clippings from different plants when she goes somewhere and by the next week she has a beautiful plant...lol. I wish I could do that. What part of AL are you from? My step-mother is from Mobile.

I absolutly agree with everyone!!!!!

DOn't worry I have killed a cactus too....lol

Wow! We have a few things in common. I love plants but don't have a green thumb, I live and in the south, and I do have a boxer. I wish I could help you out with the plants. I have some Bird of Paradise, I think they do ok in the winter but it is a tropical plant. I see a lot of people have big ones and they don't seem to die in the winter becaise they are very slow growing. If I think of something else I will let you know.

I am losing slow, I think if I would exercise I would lose faster but I work shift work, 2 weeks days and 2 weeks nights so I can't stay in a routine. By the time I get going, its time to switch.

I agree with you!!!
