never judge as as we walk in each others shoes (heels or in my case, flip flops). we have all been there...some maybe not but at some point, our feelings were hurt or our ego bruised because of a comment or a look...... onward and upwards......maddys balloon flying off

true.....you mean b********* scared the poor soul off...........sigh a princess can only do so much need to go look at my nails now they are pink with blue glitter...awe

***you all need to quit talking over my head**** confusing to this gorgeous soul

she had a can of whip ass......what thread?

i like butterflies.....got about 6 of them tattoo'd on me..... almost there time.......keep on trucking..

chez-----aj started it.........so did maddy deedee (sticking my tongue out at you) shame when they have to pick on princesses

.....hm...me likes it when u talk dirty.....

no you did not OH NO SHE DIDNT her excluded me from the banded b****

i'd def say that to you....i mean i am surprised they dont have you pegged to arrest on site just saying........looking around sheepishly

didnt your doctor give you (instructions) on what to eat or not eat or drink? if you do not know for sure, call the dr and ask what is okay for your specific diet.

if you dont change that mind set, you wont make it. that being said, when i started my 2 week pre op liquids, i thought there is no way in hell i can do that. none. look at me, i didnt get this big by eating a carrot. i owned stock in mcdonalds and dorito's..... so as my hub said to me, woman up.....buck up....you wanted this...so follow the dr's orders and get it done. you can do this. the first 4 days were my hardest and then honestly it wasnt so bad. for realz. you can do this. its a mind game. if you want it, you can do it.

how about just giving the dr a call to make sure all is well. it will certainly relieve any (omgosh is something wrong) because those of us on here can only guess and we arent doctors (well i am not and i sorry if i offended anyone) so if you are worried, call the dr or nurse and ask them what you posted here. i am sure you are fine

yep, do it all the time (in the sun and in the bed)

my curls are fluffy--------i always wanted curls....((hate you)) joking excellent post. love the tude---its awesome and so are you

that jane fonda comment was pretty funny heck i eat more than just chicken and veggies dont think anyone would (bash you) as we all had WLS surgery too and know what you are going through and let me add that i do not diet...yes i weigh and measure my portions (as i got ALOT) to lose. and yep, stop at a cup of food. seems to work for me. all the best

ok, i will stop holding breath.....have to find mirror to gaze at myself....... paying nothing is outstanding is it a big hospital for the pre stuff?

i cant speak for everyone or anyone for that matter but i suffered for years with it (and the bigger i got) the more depressed i got. i dont take any meds for it now but i just try to stay positive and do what i can do with what what i have. not sure if that is the answer you were looking for, but its what i wanted to say.

holding breath...............

just go easy on it (if it hurts, dont do it) that is how i looked at it. for example, if i bent this way and it hurt, (or very tender) i didnt do that again. just do what you can (and taking it easy). i am sure you will be fine if ever in any doubt, call the dr and let them answer any questions.

my port incision was sore (tender) for about a month.(moving, standing or getting up or yes, sneezing would make me go yowsie)... remember our skin was cut and then sewn or glued back together so its got to heal. and yes i have a hard lump where my port is and at the beginning, i could barely feel it but as i am losing more and more, it is kinda more visable and i can def feel that hardness. i like it as i know this tool is saving my life.

no idea on that question i would think it is different because of a persons size, height etc.. i have lost 6 pant sizes but it could be more or less on a taller person (as i am short). as long as you are losing (and judging by your clothes) i think that is awesome. and 37 pounds lost is freeking amazing. you go chatty

i eat the pop secret 100 cal pop corn (about once a week) its a small bag (and though the cal is low) it still has sodium which is not good for you but it is very good and very enjoyable. at walmart, a box of 10 is 4.97 or there abouts. remember we are not on a diet but it is up to us to choose better choice items. because we all know theater popcorn with heavy butter is up there with me meeting the king himself (elvis) in my book

so when we have (bugs and are truly sick) do you all let your surgeons know? i asked mine that last week at my 4month follow up and he said anytime i throw up or vomit, to call and let them know. that is one thing i am def scared of, throwing up. i know my band is stitched in (dr told me 6 stitches) but it still is a scary thought....

every morning i wake up (with a feeling of being very full) although i hadnt ate for about 11 or 12 hours..... i dont know if its because i was lying flat or what but this is how it has been since i have had surgery. i dont have the tight under my breast as you but i do know i couldnt eat right now..(i can drink just fine) did you get your flu shot yet? i def need to go get mine. our office here at work, seems everyone is sick and calling out .....dreading that and hope it stays away from me.
