Hahahaha scrotum stomach. Belly balls. So much better than FUPA!

I am hypo/ hashimotos thyroiditis and when I began my insurance process, I was told by my surgeon that they would not schedule my surgery unless my Tsh levels were under a certain number. For optimal weight loss. I think it was 5. My surgery has been scheduled for 3/14 since my levels are good now.

Opinions are like A**holes. Thats my motto.

You look wonderful!!!!

Jesus. I'm starting to feel quite lucky after reading about all these crappy pre op diets. I don't do mine until beginning of march, but mine is a five day clear liquid diet. Will suck emensely, I'm sure.

You look fantastic! I, too, would be interested in your starting weight and height!

My coordinator submitted everything the day she knew she could, which was the day all of my testing was done and in her hands.

Lol. Oh my. That's all I got.

AHAHAHAHAHAHA

Amy!!!!!

That's the spirit!!!!

I'll deny this in the morning, but I used to give BJ classes in my early 20's. I used to tell the woman with high gag reflexes to incorporate your hand. Or just suck it up (pun totally intended) and gag. Guys love the ego boost.

March 14 here. I have a 5 day clear liquid diet prior. It's coming up so fast that it's sometimes a little overwhelming. Mostly I am fearful of not having that coping skill anymore. Food is Such a HUGE coping skill in my life!!!! Maybe I'll take up painting...

So gorgeous. Your life is going in a great direction!!! Congrats!!!

Hey now! I love me some spaghetti-o's! And happy belated bday, op!

Do I really have to be the Ahole that says that everyone's just fighting because we're all hungry? Calm down people. My good friend is 35 and has stage 4 lung cancer. He also has a new wife and baby. Anyone else who wants to post crap here, can you just say a prayer for him instead. And his wife for lord knows what she's going through. Thanks

I have been waiting sooooo long to post to a thread like this. I have my date!!!!!!! March 14th!!!! I have a 5 day liquid diet prior, so March 9. Cool thing about he timin of it is that I get to have my food funeral at Disney World, lol. I'll be there for a week end of feb. MARCH 14th!!!!!! I am 5'9" and weigh in at a whopping 290. I don't know what my goal is. Ultimately 150, but I hope to be down 100 pounds in a year. Hell, anything in onederland sounds good right now. YAY!!!!!!!

It was condescending. As was your above quoted response. Gotta love passive aggression...

I have a thyroid issue and ended up gaining 19 pounds in the 6 months. Granted my Tsh was up to 43 (normal is 2) and I had a letter from my PCP stating that the thyroid at that level makes it impossible to lose. I was approved with no issue. I was scared to death of denial. Take it from me, a true worrier, not doing the work in these last few months is not worth the anxiety about getting approved. And of course it won be worth getting denied. GET IT TOGETHER, GIRL! You can do this!!!

Great list, op! Hit home with the bath comment. I've come to loathe showers now even, as I am completely wiped out by the time it's all done. Not to mention the back pain just from bending over to dry my legs. Ugh! Also won't miss: The dry skin I deal with because I don't even want to touch my body to apply lotion. Not taking care if myself like I used to because of my " what's the point" attitude. Dressing WAY too old for my age (30). Not being able to paint my own toenails. Being embarrassed at buffets. Just being there. Not even trying some amusement park rides because of how the embarrassment would feel if I were too big. OH HOW I COULD GO ON!!!

....FASHION. I love fashion. And, if I must say, I have really good taste! But I can't wear any of it. I lay in bed at night and browse through my Nordstrom app, shopping with my eyes. These last few years, it's the only kind of shopping I do. I don't even like leaving the house because I don't ever have anything to wear. I don't know how to shop for this body. I have a pair of black leggings and a black boyfriend cardigan that I wear that hides me well enough for times I need to go out. I don't even remember the last time I happily went into my closet and picked out something to wear to go out. Today I went to get blood work in one of my hubby's long sleeved tshirts and an old, too short, bleach stained sweat pants. I'm too young to not care. I love fashion!!! And I can not wait until I can enjoy it on ME!

I am! In trying to sweet talk my surgeons office into giving me the mid march date anyways, in hopes that my levels will drop enough by then. Here's hopin.
