    Pre-Surgery Sob Session With The Old Clothes

    You are so definitely not alone. We all have our assclown moments! I think its healthy. I think you will be great. I got so frustrated with my never ending fatness I gave away most of my thin cloths about 4 1/2 years ago because I thought I would never get back into them. I wish I could hold them while I cry over them.

    No Scrpit : (

    Look for rx discount code for the amend... I can't remember but I found one that lowered my cost significantly. What I didn't know is that if you ask for it upon arrival at the hospital they will give it to you and the costs are absorbed with your surgery costs. Good luck

    Driving Right After Surgery?

    I'm a stylist and went back to work after two weeks. I didn't realize it until after day two but I could have used another week. I was cleared for driving at ten days but I was nervous and uncomfortable. Getting in and out of the car was uncomfortable. The night after my second day back to work was the worst night I'd had in the entire process. Please be careful. .. is working that one day really going to make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things? If not you may want to rethink your decision. Good luck

    I Have A Leak And I'm Scared.

    I can't even imagine how stressed out you must be. I'm so sorry this is happening to you. It sounds like as far as leaks go you have the absolute best kind and you will be ok. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
  6. I am inly 6 weeks out but I understand you can increase your caloric intake with time. The restriction is honestly wonderful. The pain of post op is minimal for most of us. It was actually so much easier than I thought it would be. And although you will get sick of hearing it the only things that help in the beginning are Protein Water and walking. . Good luck!
  7. Omg! Omg! Just found out, Thanks to all of you, that the pattent in cymbalta is expiring at the end of the year and there will be generics!! $4 wal-mart here I come!!! I'm going to the free clinic on Sunday to get enough to get me through the end of the year and I don't qualify for medi-cal because I own a house but after the first of the year they drop the property restrictions so.. goodie! And thanks.

    So Down:(

    Your weight loss is fantastic, but it often happens so fast our brains can't keep up. I'm fat. When I was a teenager I was stick thin and thought I was fat. I think it doesn't matter what size I am ill always be fat. But unfortunately what I through my eyes isn't reality. You're doing great and you liik great.

    Discouraged

    I had same ins but it covered wls. After deductibles and out of pocket maximums it ended up costing me 5k+ so maybe mx isn't such a bad idea
  13. Pretty serious restriction... I didn't even know that they would do wls for only 50lbs...

    Nsv

    Ok. . So I sat down in a big comfy chair at work today and crossed my legs as if I just do it all the time. I didn't even realize it at first. Then I was shocked and we all got a good laugh a my shock. When I got home I showed my family how I can cross my legs! They looked at me like I am completely crazy, but were happy I was happy lol

    What's That On Your Head?....

    It looks great and really natural. I would never know it wasn't your natural hair.
  20. Personally I just don't get how we're supposed to not drink 30 minutes before eating, eat for 30 min and not drink for another 30 min after and still get in all those fluids while trying to work and chasing after kids!! It evades me
  21. I am sooo there with you! Its embarrassing! I can start working out later this week and I hope that will help tighten things up abit! Might have to start saving for plastics? , we'll see
  22. Yes yes yes... so much work, and people say we're the lazy ones!
  23. They told me very strongly that it would cause more air.. pain.. less consumption etc..etc..etc.. same line same hook. Guess I'll just go along for now
