    Hair Hair Hair Everywhere

    I have a huge, thick, natural Afro that I have enjoyed growing out for the past 6 years...I would like to keep all of it! Lol! But, I regularly wear weave & braids and I'm willing to sacrifice SOME of my beautiful 'fro in exchange for the wonderful life I have now! Sent from my iPhone using VST

    Stomach Noises

    Lol! I'm 8 weeks out & Tiny Sleevie Timkins over here does get loud sometimes, on a regular basis...I think it's funny, what with the gurgling, burping and new hollow sounding poots I let go...I just consider it the soundtrack of my new lifestyle! Lol! Sent from my iPhone using VST

    African American Sleevers

    All of you who are in PRE-approval, I wish you success! My insurance, Health Advantage Choice only has 3 requirements: psych eval, 5 yr weight history & 6 month dr supervised weight loss attempt. I was blessed, because they approved me SO fast it made my head spin! I sincerely pray that speed will come to you all during your process Sent from my iPhone using VST

    Things I can't wait to do!

    I can't wait to: Play b-ball with my 3 sons without having 911 on speed dial. Take my boys to the zoo (my favorite place), and be able to keep up with them walking. Shop in regular stores and actually buy modern, cute clothes. I want to shop all the trendy mall stores! Wear knee boots with skinny jeans! Rock a bikini! Yep, I said BIKINI! To wear cute, matching panty/bra sets again...Vicky's Secret, I've missed you! To go to the beach & not feel like a Grandma around all the bikini babes. To cross my legs. To look smokin' dayum hot naked! To have a boob job & tummy tuck. To be in a committed relationship with the special man God has in store for me-I'm tired of being hit on because "fat girls are easy" To wear cute workout clothes without rolls around my waist or dimples in my butt.

    When Did You Eat Salad?

    I told my surgeon up front that I am a sushi & salad addict, he informed me that sushi is considered the same as salad because of all the fresh veggies, and that I could have it at 6 weeks if I felt comfy with it. I waited until today, I'll be 8 weeks Monday! The sushi chef at my Kroger made me Spring Rolls with Shrimp & he wrapped them in rice paper because I wasn't sure about eating sticky rice...OMG! Great!!! I love them & they are only 190 calories per roll! Whoop! Whoop! They went down great! Sent from my iPhone using VST

    When Did You Eat Salad?

    salad is my fave!!! BUT all the salads I can buy use iceberg & I really want something different...my fave sushi bar and US pizza both have awesome salads, alas...with iceberg. I guess I have to make my own salad, but I prefer to just buy it. Sent from my iPhone using VST
  13. I told all the nosey roseys that I had my gallbladder out! Lol! I don't believe on sharing personal info if I don't want to. According to HIPPA, what your boss did was illegal! You can sue!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

    A Story From A Newbie

    Being judged is a part of this journey...so are ignorant/rude comments. I nipped ALL that in the bud with my friends/family. I made it CLEAR that this is MY body, MY choice...and if anything has ANYthing to say to me that is not positive, they can keep it to themselves, because I CAN and will exclude them from my life. I will not allow anyone to diminish my joy in this journey. Putting my foot down comes easily to me and I practice it well. Take your joy...it's yours! Sent from my iPhone using VST
  19. I hope I attached the pic correctly! This is my first post-op pic--I'm wearing a skirt I've had for at least 3 or 4 years, but couldn't wear because it was too little! It was baggy today! Whoop! Whoop! This is what it feels like for dreams to come true, huh??? Sent from my iPhone using VST

    So This Might Be Gross But...

    Before I could have soft meat post op, I used to chew the heck outta ALL the seasoned meat I could get my hands on, and spit it out! And I have read many posts on this forum of people who do the same. I don't have to do it anymore because I'm 6 weeks out...but it sure served it's purpose right after surgery. I do agree that it should not become a habit though. I don't get into psycho babble because there is a psych disorder for EVERYTHING and you sound just fine to me. Good luck on your journey!

    March 24 Th Check In

    Oops! I have alot left to go! My goal is not concrete, but somewhere in the range of 125-135. I'm not picky right now. I'm sure I'll feel differently after I start working out. What's your goal? Sent from my iPhone using VST

    March 24 Th Check In

    I was sleeved on 2/20/12 and as far as I know I've lost 43lbs. I don't own a scale, so I only weigh sporadically. I think I've lost more, because last night my pants fell down! Lol! Fortunately, I was at home! Sent from my iPhone using VST
