I am unaproachable now?
italian-girl replied to soocalchic's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Smiles all the time yes, but directly at them?make small eye contact with a smile... Guys are funny they love confidence and are attracted to it... But are scared of women that are confident at the same time. Many men are! not all but a good amount!! -
I am unaproachable now?
italian-girl replied to soocalchic's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have 4 brothers and they all have told me the same thing about men... Ego hits are the worst so if you're hot it's sometimes harder for a man to approach you. So my advice to you is, say hello first... And really that's all it takes is a smile and a hey! Most of the time just saying hey with a smile means you're approachable.... Kind... Not gonna blow someone off if they say something first... -

It has begun...Relationship changes
italian-girl replied to Nurse_B's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That is not a friend. One of my best friends on the planet is a very small Teenie tiny size zero. She was one of the most supportive people I could of asked for. She still is. She is a great person who has always had my back no matter what I needed her for. She has continued to be wonderful support for me and a good friend. I am 100% lucky to have friends, family and coworkers that are extremely supportive of me since day 1. I've had "friends" in the past that weren't truly friends and once I figured that out I let the go. I don't have room in my life for negativity and that's what jealousy is. I know it's hard to lose a friend but in the end it's the best thing to do by letting them go. -

sleeping position
italian-girl replied to betty20032001's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It took me about 4 weeks to sleep on my stomach. I got a body pillow and slept on my side cuddling it and draping my foot over it and that seemed to work but I had to lay on my right side to do it. But the first two weeks I slept in the lazy boy recliner as that was much more comfy -

Ok here we go! 1. I don't weigh myself regularly I will go weeks without stepping foot on the scale because I don't really care to know daily or weekly how much I weigh. Usually every couple weeks 2. I made my famous vanilla bean cupcakes with fresh blueberry frosting for my nieces birthday yesterday and I licked the frosting beater. (Only one lick but still) 3. Sometimes I forget to eat and will look at my fitness pal and realize I only consumed 400 calories that day. 4. I bought a belly dancing workout video and tried it and my arms still hurt from 4 days ago.. Wait that's probably not a bad thing... 5. In order to get all my Fluid in (60 oz.) I have to drink hot tea (decaf) unsweetened. because Water alone taste like sewer smells and it's hard to drink. For some reason cold beverages and I are not friends its very hard to drink cold beverages. 6. I got rid of my entire size 26 wardrobe already because I don't intend to ever fit in those clothes again. My new size 20 clothes are very few and I rotate my outfits because I won't fit into these much longer. So there isn't any point to buy more than a few items... However I do regret not keeping one pair of my big jeans.. Ill never be able to do the standing in one leg picture when I get to my goal 7. speaking of goals I don't actually have a set one.. I just figured I'd lose till I hit a place I'd feel comfortable and then maintain from there.. I gave myself 12 months to get to a maintaining point.. 8. I signed up for a 5k in may of 2014. I'm starting the couch to 5k today.. Me +running I never thought I'd see the day! 9. I choose not to worry about or obsess about the weight loss I am following my program and I'm having faith that if I do and stay positive about it everything will fall into place. Yeah some days i mess up and don't eat enough because I was running around all day and forgot to eat, or I licked the frosting beater.. But it's not every day and I'm human.. I'm not perfect nor do I expect to be. 10. I really really enjoyed the look on my ex's face when he saw me the other day... I might of enjoyed it a little too much but oh well! I think we all have days of good and bad and it's ok. It's how we bounce back from a bad day and move forward that counts anyway...good luck to everyone!! Know that no matter what happens yesterday today's a new day and you can always change it into a positive! -

Omg! Omg! I just fit into a size 14 dress!
italian-girl replied to gamergirl's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Confidence is 90% in our faces! I agree with the other poster, don't chop off your head! Be proud of your accomplishments and flash the beautiful smile along with the happiness of being in that dress!! I'm sure you looked beautiful and nobody would if noticed anything you are worried they would see. -

What I thought were gas pains turned out to be major blood clots.

Side effects from protein
italian-girl replied to kj44's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. Been getting in my water daily and it's been fine as of now. But let me tell you it's a pain like no other. And you don't want one! I'd never wish it on anyone not even my worst enemy. -
