I like your excuse better than mine! Lol... I removed the doors to her room and her closet! Let him sneek in now! (Evil laugh)

I wouldn't even hesitate to take her to the hospital, ins or not, if I thought in any way she needed it. Thank you for your concern. She is a little sore and her wrist hurts from falling on it but nothing is swollen and the police checked her out pretty good. Plus I practically strip searched her!

Thank you so much! You are awesome!

Fyi... ok so I called my surgeon and the said emphatically NO! They were very adamant about it and so now I guess ill just.. I don't know... give it more thought I guess. Thanks all

Omg!!! Soooo cool.. good for you

Good luck! You'll do great!

Great work! Congratulations on your success

Excellent advice. . I thought I was gonna starve to death post op! Lol... now I'm just never sure if I'm hungry, thirsty, full or just plain crazy. I'm leaning toward the last one.

I think everyone goes through this. I would be worried if you didn't! You can do this.. I have faith in you <3

That's what I'm thinking. I'm probably still gonna try it (little scared) but I will call my surgeon at nine and give them the chance to talk me out of it. Just really need to find a way to get more fluids in! Thanks all for your experiences and advice!

Well no one asked me but I was up early because I caught my daughter sneekink her boyfriend into the house. Again. Good times! (Somebody please just put me out of my misery)!

Smooth move tea.. lol.. benefiber is awesome

I gain.. a lb or two here and there.. water retention, you know. But overall if I do the math I'm averaging about 3 lbs per week loss.

Save them and have an 80's party.. also a lot of thrift shops love that stuff... vintage, like, you know?

I totally agree with all of you.. and I trust my dr and my advise to others is always 'follow your Dr s advice' but I can't seem to get hydrated. I'm wondering if anyone has ever heard anything about actually causing any damage or harm ever due to drinking out of a staw?

Things I heard yesterday. .. -is it ok for you to eat that? -oh.. none of that for you! -I thought you couldn't eat that? -nope.. not for you! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? So in the middle of dinner I stood up and said, 'Listen, I do not need any of you to police what I'm eating. You need to pass everthing to me like you always have and I am perfectly capable of choosing for myself whether or not I can or can't eat it. It's my choice! And if there is one more comment I am leaving'!. Well, everyone was a little shocked but the comments stopped and I was able to really enjoy the rest of the evening without feeling like I was under a microscope. Geesh!

So.. here is a picture from my fattest summer ever.. and one from two weeks ago... [ATTACH]37927[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]37928[/ATTACH]

So cool! One of my favorite things early out was when I look down all I see are the "girls" .. not my stomach! Congratulations!

Do not do nothing! Contact your local mental health agency and get the help you need. My parents don't believe in it either so I went untreated until in my twenties. . Long enough for me to screw up my life. Get help, your mom doesn't need to know and it won't cost anything. Good luck

Bug them! I waited just to find out thrre was some kind of error and they never received the request!

I'm crying again but for different reasons... I feel so much better and blessed right now.. and emotionally squishy... my husband hates it when I get like this.. lol.. good thing I like roller coasters!

Whatever! ! You know we all looked, like, totally hot in the 80's, ok!

Same here.. prayers to you

I used to use this... great stuff but tons of cramping. . Wouldn't even think of using it now

You are most certainly not alone! You posted earlier on a thread I needed help in (thank you) and I can tell you that even through all the stress and uncertainties of being approved, the pre op diet, losing 2 employees one eeek before surgery, hiring 3 new employees days before surgery, leaving my business in the hands of newbies, post op misery, going back to work with the energy of a half dead snail, losing my ins and my daughter getting hit by a car.. (whew!).. I don't regret a second of my decision to have this surgery. You can do this and we all have struggled along the way, most of us come out better on the other side (and Skinner too)!
