The first times hurt the worst and then it gets less and less painful each time you wax. I think the armpit is the least painful, then comes legs and then the privates are like.. oh god. I've tried the waxing strips in the past, twice, once for underarms/legs and once for facial hair. I find that sometimes the wax sticks to the skin in some areas and doesn't rip out all of the hairs.. So you have to go over a few times. I think normal wax is better and cheaper too. I used the peel off wax instead of those white waxing strips. I think I used to wait about 3 weeks between waxing underarms, so way better than shaving..

How about just simple sanitary pads? They're absorbant, maybe not the most comfortable but I'm sure they would work until you can find the dri fits you're after.

@@Sboulie it stings a bit more on the wrist but it's nothing unbearable, it's more of a pinching sensation. If it's only a small one it won't take too long either

Already have a few more in mind, just need to save some extra cash hahaha Rewarding myself with a tattoo sounds good to me

Reading all the comments just makes me super excited! What's 2-3 weeks of pain compared to a lifetime of being uncomfortable and ashamed of our own bodies? I keep looking at the calendar everyday counting the days.. It's seems so close but so far at the same time. It's a about a month until my preop so putting it that way revs me up haha! I'm eating so much more healthier, going shopping with my boyfriend we'd usually grab chips and munchies, I went to fruit and veg and he went to confectionary, I haven't even stolen one chip! The scales are slowly going down now, it's something that hasn't happened in a long time so I'm feeling good about myself. I can't really see it in the mirror but I can feel it and my boyfriend said he could feel that I'm smaller, not even 10kgs lost and there's a difference haha We are gonna kick 2014s ass!

Yeah if mine doesn't shrink enough I'll definitely be getting the fat sucked out of it lol! We all wanna look as good as we can naked!

I don't understand why people can't keep their rude comments to themselves. My friend was told "wow you've put on weight" on her 18th birthday and I've had my fair share of "should you be eating that" along with many many "fat bitch" comments out car windows, mooing at school etc etc. Also heaps of bullying from 12 years old to about 16 which left me with social anxiety and depression .. I think deciding to get the lapband is a great decision. I can't wait to say "how fat am I now bitches??" hehehe I'm being banded on the 29th of July and I just cannot wait!

I can't wait to look incredible on my 21st birthday and have a great time! I'm usually the most miserable person at my own party and can't wait for everyone to leave.

I look forward to be able to go shopping for clothes and leave satisfied and looking good instead of having anxiety attacks and blasting out of the shop crying because nothing fits! I look forward to not having my day ruined because I saw my own reflection in a window! I look forward to living a happier and healthier life, enjoying activities with my friends and family!

Looking great! Good on you

Feed ducks. Have a picnic, with food you pack yourself that you can eat! Have a movie night at home Just go for a coffee to sit and talk, then go for a walk afterwards? Watch the planes and star gaze?

June 10th? Not long to go now, how exciting!

@@Chez hope all is well, and that your recovery is speedy! @@steveelea I've only been doing steps on my wii board with wii fit, it's nothing strenuous but seems to be working for me. I don't want a gym membership until after surgery, it just seems more convenient money wise. When I go to the gym it's usually treadmill for about an hour on random hill settings(when I'm fit enough) followed by weights. I've never had the confidence to go to classes because of my weight, they've always seemed like such fun. I've always wanted to do a cycle class! I'm sure I'll be doing them in the near future I've been walking a lot more, and faster too! I feel like for some reason I can breathe more clearly..(I've never had breathing problems, or so I thought) It's only 6kgs gone so it's a really weird feeling, not that I'm complaining! I'm feeling happy over all, under 2 months to go so I'm just more and more excited as the days go by

I'm using "fatsecret" It has a food diary and calculates calories for you, shows you carbs/protein and fat. Also had heaps of good recipes

5.5kg lost in my first week to get down to 92 from 99, so that makes me 93.5! I don't need to worry at all now, 8 and a half weeks to go woohoo

So happy for everyone's weight loss let's keep kicking fats ass!

Yeah I said who are you to call me me fat when your ass is as huge as mine? And she had nothing to say. I hate people like that, all they can use is the fat card because they have nothing else to say. Like my boyfriends family, his father and sisters refer to me as "your fat girlfriend" in their household. They know it hurts him as much as it hurts me so it just shows how horrible some people are. I actually know someone that thought it was appropriate to say "wow you've put on weight, maybe you shouldn't eat that" on that persons birthday!

A little rant because I have no where else to rant weight related wise! What the f!!!!! Is wrong with people? Seriously! I live in an apartment and my neighbour is a complete nightmare. Every time I see she says something along the lines of "lose weight your ass is so big" "oh your so fat are you going to kfc" it actually got really intense cos I lost my cool and she just wouldn't shut up about my weight! ITS MY BODY NOT HERS what the hell is it to her if I was going to KFC? Which I wasn't! I hate leaving my place in case I run into and she ruins my day! I can't wait to lose weight and be like HA HA HA look at this! in her face every time I see her. Disgusting people seriously, and sadly it's not the first time I've come across a fat hater. Why can't people keep their nasty comments to themselves. I am fully aware that I am overweight.. I don't need some stranger to tell me what I already know! Anyway, rant over. I'm willing to travel anywhere really I can't do Saturdays because I'm studying dog grooming on those days

Wooooo go bee! You look great!

Bella, My doctor weighed me on the first appointment and I just wore my normal clothes, I had thongs on so took my shoes off. Looks like everyone is going good I started a diet on Sunday and I've managed to stick to it, will weigh in on Sunday and let yous know how I go! I'm just so paranoid that I won't lose the 7kgs in time but at the same time 7kgs in 2 months seems doable to me

Wooo 5.5kg, go you!! You can do ittttt

Take some grapes or cut up watermelon and hide it in your bag with a frozen water bottle to keep it cold hahaha

Steveelea, That's great!! I can't wait to cry because clothes fits instead of crying because it doesn't!! I'm booked in for the lap band on the 29th of July, WOOO!! 9 weeks YEAAAA yeaaaa
