Ms skinniness

Love it, love it, love it! This is our time to shine! Take it in, treasure it, and know it's you! XOXOXOXO

This will pass, just hang in there. Here comes a big hug for you. When was your sleeve? How much weight have you lost?

Wowwwww..... very well said. Keep Rockin your new You! Very proud of you....

I like your self reflection. We are all are worthy people but have also received negative messages about ourselves from other significant people in our lives. We have adopted this since childhood. This is an excellent time to work on these issues. We are worth it.

A feeling of unworthiness, not of any importance highly contributes to how we look at ourselves. I was talking to my mom around 10 years ago and I was so excited and I told her that I really wanted to get to know her, she blew up, ranting at me that she did her best, and she didn't like my attitude. For god's sake, I was crying and I told her that. In the conversation, I had an epihany. It was "I didn't know what I was thinking, feeling, and was wrong on everything." At this point I realized that I couldn't handle the relationship and decided to say good bye and that I loved her. I also decided that this was such a toxic relationship and I didn't deserve this. I was always seeking her approval. That is the best think that has ever happened to me. I am so better off now and have chosen not to choice food anymore to satisfy the painful part

sending you alot of healing energy! Everyone is scare right before the surgery. Most surgeon's will eliminate any potential dangers of surgery to help avoid complications. They do happen, but there are also times when this surgery will actually save your life! And that it will. Just know that you will be ok. We are all thinking about you so please keep us posted as to how your doing. Big Hug your way!

So sorry to hear this. This is miserable. Sending healing energy your way.

The doc prescribed a blood thinner for a reason. Have the pharmacy call the doc's office and get the med changed to a less costly med. I know that for 3 days after my surgery I had to have a blood thinner injected into my stomach. I was to prevent blood clots. So it is extremely urgent that you contact the pharmacy and have them call to get the prescription changed, or call your docs office and explain to them the cost is too much for you. They will oblige you and change. Please be careful with your health. You are important to all of us on this site. Please keep us updated.

This is a great time for some gatorade. For me, it went down alot easier than just plain water. I diluted it half and half. I was able to drink the whole bottle that was 32oz along with 32oz of H2O.

I don't even want fast food! IT's not on my success list. It is so full of fat and added crap that it turns my stomach. Now pizza is a little different. I eat l bite of crust and then eat all the topping if I can. We all follow a different thought process, but I know that the reason I gained so much weight is because of the fast foods I ate. I don't want that to ever happen again.

Forensik chic: You are blossoming! Keep it up!

Love it! You guys are doing great! So happy to hear about success stories! Yes, you guys are a success! Keep Rockin that Sleeve!

Our girls need to be comfy...... and sexy too at the same time! LOL

a really good person to check with is Pdxman. He has done marathons and is currently training for one. He does alot of research on things also.

Yes, put the scale in the trash. That is what I am going to do. One day I lose alot of weight and the next, I've gained it back! Bought a new scale, and low an behold, the scale is working fine. I'm taking the new one back and taking the old one out to the garage. I'm going to live day by day and not stress. Eat healthy, exercise, and it will come off sooner or later. I am going to keep on this site because it's so addicting.

OMG! It sounds so delicious. Thank you for sharing!

It does sound concerning. Is there anyway you could call your surgeon's office and ask them over the phone. My surgeon's office would transfer me to a PA.

Vitamins were never my thing. But now a days, I take my vitamins, Except now I look at them and hope there aren't too big for my little tummy.

I am 55 and soon to be 56 . I have not had any difficulties with my procedure and am loving the results. I feel so much better and alot healthier. I have so much more energy now. I love my sleeve.

CONGRATS! You probably should of bought a Medium. It won't take long to get out of the Larges! Hahahahahahaha lol

What is Mudder?

OMG! Your mom is such a drama queen. If you can step back and look at the picture, who's problem is this? It's her problem of course. Aren't you glad that you are thinking rationally. When you mom acts like a drama queen, smile and step back and enjoy the entertainment. If it bothers you, then tell her in a loving way and everytime she brings it back up, refuse to discuss the issue with her. Give her a time out! Sorry, I didn't mean to be so direct. Enjoy today and watch you body do it's thing now! Oh, and you will have more babies if you choose.

I'd visit Florida, I already live in California.
