been rethinking the whole "full disclosure" topic - singles out there?
BellaHugz replied to CowgirlJane's topic in The Gals' Room
Oh my gosh I just baptised my computer laughing so hard!! -
hair loss is tricky, some times it could mean your thyroid is low too. You might want to have your blood work done and make sure everything is in balance. Good luck to you!

Well the way i see it is your company will have the new and improved version of you and each and every month it will get better Win/win. I do think it is important because of the demands of your work style to get a doctors excuss and heal properly before returning to work. Becareful and be smart on your healhty journey!

BellaHugz replied to Kiara5244's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
To dance with joy and not care if anyone is looking.. oh wait I already do that! hmmmm, it may look better when i am skinny and healthy! -
When it feels good! It took awhile after surgery for me to lay on my side since I was a revison patient and the lapband had to be taken out.. that spot really hurt for a while. Now I sleep like a baby rolling all over the place.

I have only been on my journey 1 month.. and I am so happy! Over the summer at my heavest I had not 1 but 2 braces on my ankles the pain was unbarable. I went to the physical therapist 3x a week just to move around a tiny bit. I vowed if I could walk again with out pain I would do every thing in power not to sit on the sidelines and watch my family live. I wanted to be part of life and be living the best life I could! I am only down 42lbs and a renewed chance at a better life and baby I am going to take it!! Good luck to you and all you do!

Anyone else feel like you won't be successful with VSG after failed lap band?
BellaHugz replied to rbtnln's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have to agree with CGJ, I had a lapband 5 yrs ago and only lost 60 lbs. It was extremely hard and very painful and the vomitting and reflux problems almost scarred me internally. I had to fight to get my sleeve, I wanted to give up but I knew inside that I was worth fighting for. When i finally got approved for my sleeve I knew it was the 2nd chance and I need to make it work for me. Yes, I have hit stalls just like others but it wont keep me down. Dont let the small stalls get you down push on towards your own victory. Many here have had revisions and it may take a little longer but you can do it!! -
You go girl!

Awe, the first time I could enjoy a good cup of coffee was last week and I am so happy. The funny thing is I used to drink 3 cups a day now I only drink 1/2 to 1 cup a day and I am very satisfied!!

BellaHugz replied to abarta83's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh my goodness, this guy is a mental abuser! If you kept him in your life he would only play games with you as his insecurities got stronger. I am so proud of you for getting him out of your life and your kids life! Now girl consentrate on making yourself stronger and teach your kids that this kind of behaviour is not allowed in your life or theirs! PSsss, How much did that looser weight? Cause you can count that extra weight off and watch your weight come off now too!! Hugz baby!! -
Is there anything more depressing...
BellaHugz replied to Madam Reverie's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Really my choice in life is thin thighs or thin hair and deflated boobs.. no fair! No No, I am fighting for my hair, I went through this before with the lapband and I am trying my best to save this lioness hair. I started taking Biotin 10,000 and Linum B6 (Flax seed and Omega3) when i started the revision process in July. My hair dresser says she has never seen anyone with so much hair growth and crazy baby hair too! Now here is the surprising thing I use it is called Clear shampoo it is sufate free and i love it. Yes i have spent way Way to much money on all the expensive brands before, tried Nixiom too- hated it for me. Love the K pack conditioner too and Macadamia oil, gotta replenish. So I am praying this time my hair will stay more then last time. -
Yay, count me in!! Gosh I have been stalled for a few weeks hope this challenge helps me break loose into loosing again! CW: 198 GW: 188

Post-OP Vacation Q?
BellaHugz replied to supermom223's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You look amazing and you should be able to go out and enjoy your special time alone with your hubby and Celebrate. You have to know what drinks will work for you and not cause you to get sick only you can answer that as you try them. I too love patron margarita baby!! Especailly the wonderful pomergrant margaritas I make. Perhaps if you make your own you will be able to limit your sugar intake. I have tried the skinny girl margaritas and I dont like them to much. But hey taste change as you have learned and i have friends who love them. Have a wonderful time and do some research of the food and drink choices at the resturants you will go too! -
Break on through

I still CAN'T feel when my bladder is full! 2/7/14 was my date!
BellaHugz replied to I love me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hmmm, Very interesting I thought it was just me too. Now i know I am not drinking enough water. -
Go ahead and laugh, can i be real the fart jokes just get better after surgery too. Funny Anderson Cooper! Try GasX strips you can get them at your local drug store. And yes, when it happened after surgery my hubby just said let the farting games begain. Lol

Embarrassing Question - What To Tell Casual Friends

accessories for a formal cocktail party - the little black dress
BellaHugz replied to CowgirlJane's topic in The Gals' Room
I just love the dress it is perfect, a gunmetal based or titatium chandelier earrings would look wonderful and bring the look to the romantic yet stunning effects. I love a dark midnight nail Opi has a dark blue russian nail polish that is almost deceiving and could be black yet it is not. A perfect nylon is a light black sheer too. Wear your fabulas smile and your will be a knockout! Also you can top it all of with a pasmina shawl with a pop of sparkle. Have a wonderful time!
