Rofl!!! I'm 29 and I've never Been on a plane Seen the ocean Worn JUST a swimsuit Let my husband see me completely naked. Ever. Been on a roller coaster Had matching bra and panties REALLY liked myself There's that

May I recommend a book? I'm not sure of he name, but I have it. Lol. It's by Guillermo Alvarez. He lays it out pretty well.

So it seems like not all surgeons do this. Why is this? Please explain! I'll be going to mx and my surgeon doesn't.

Thank you both. <3 I do have Olympian labs vanilla pea Protein in the cabinet that I like a lot and I used to use hemp Protein Powder. Time to get to buying on vitacost again. I agree that juicing greens/veggies is best . I ate a raw vegan diet for 4 months and learned a lot. I even did a 12 day juice fast. (Couldn't last longer than that). I could never juice straight up greens though, and all the recipes that tasted best had fruits to balance the flavor. I did a lot of green smoothies too, and boy do they keep you regular!

Clk thank you SO much for the novella! It's so Apparent that you love to help others and that you genuinely care! I really appreciate your presence on the board!! It feels so good to imagine my life outside this prison. I just think about food SO much. It gets me out of bed in the morning, even if I'm not actually hungry. "All the experts say to eat within 1 hour of waking up! I better get up and eat something even tho I'm not hungry!" Etc. I'm so ready to move past this!!

Thanks for all the replies! No, I'm still PRE op. I just stuffed myself on leftover cold rice pudding for Breakfast and felt awful. I can't wait to experience all of this! So SO excited. As long as all goes as planned, I'll be sleeved on the 18th

I just love this thread!!!

We also have 10 to 15 lbs of waste in our bodies at all time. Lol. Maybe it's just that you're drinking liquids?

I read that Sharon Osborne is getting hers reversed so that she can "learn to eat properly with a normal stomach" or something along those lines.

Oops posted in the Wong thread.

I Think that for me, losing the weight in and of itself is enough Reward for me. But my ultimate reward is a "mommy makeover" and a crap ton of pretty bras!!!!!!

I just saved your pic to my phone for motivation. (Is that weird?) lol

Wow had it really been a month already!? U look great!!

Thanks everyone. My surgeon says they prefer to do anti coagulants after surgery rather than prior to. My mom had a blood clot in her leg when she was pregnant with me, and about 4 years ago my moms brother had a pulmonary embolism. Should I be concerned?

I know walking is easy and almost everyone can do it. That's on the agenda for after surgery and I have some walk at home DVDs. I like then ok. It's a good enough workout but her voice saying the same thing over and over. "/ I'm thinking about getting a cellercizer or a treadmill. Do you know people that actually USE a treadmill for what they are for tho? I have a feeling I won't after a while. I dunno. Maybe I would. Sigh. I have 6 kids, ages 11,9,7,6,3 and 1. I like to wake early to work out. What's good for beginners? I love cardio bit want to build up a lil muscle. I don't want Madonna arms, but just a lil something. Whatdya think?

Interesting!

I am planning on going to dr. Garcia in tijuana, on February 18th.

That's a huge hange in 8 mos!!!! I can't wait to have this surgery!!!

You are so so amazing for outing this together for us!! Thank you x 10!!

Are you stressed, trying to make sure you get your Protein, etc? I read once: "For men, sex erases stress. For women, stress erases sex." ! I agree with going through the motions. LOTS of foreplay. It'll come back. It's really easy to get caught up in your own stuff and not feel like being that close and intimate with someone else. Not let someone else into your personal space bubble. Also,you said he's getting frustrated. is he being a jerk about it? Biggest turn off!

So my mom said she's been hearing a lot about border issues. Not sure what she's talking about. I called and she was too drunk to explain. (Don't ask) Any idea what she's talkin about?
