I'm not really picky and I like weird stuff anyways so many protein drinks I buy I actually love the taste!!

Good to know! Thanks!

I know kinda how you feel. I have a 4 year old at 35 and it's been so much harder this time than 11 years ago with my son... Good luck to you!

I thought Sharon Osborne had bypass?

This is heartbreaking. I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you have been going through. I have a sister and she and I are very close. I would be devastated if anything happened to her. I hope you can find peace in all of this. What surgery did you girls have? What state are you in?

OMG! Your adorable! Great job!!!!

Exactly! Cheers!

You were gorgeous before and gorgeous after!!!

I told my 11 year old Son, (My daughter is 4 so whats the point) and he was so amazing!! He looked puzzled at first and then said, "Mom your not even obese your just chubby." I said, "well according to doctors I am obese" he goes, "Doctors are sadists who are in business to watch people suffer" I DIED laughing. He is so brilliant it makes me beam with pride. I told him I will be skinnier and eat like a normal person. He said, "so your stomach will be the size of mine! Cool!" LOVE HIM!

OMG I WILL DIE IS MY COOTER SAGS!!! THATS THE TINYEST THING I GOT!

Funny this is the first post I see this morning because just last night I was telling my best friend last night that I am scared she wont love me anymore after im a skinny non foodie, non drinker. She said, "OMFG are you KIDDING ME?! Did that really just come out of your mouth?" She goes, "Steph I love you!! All of you, big, little, skinny, fat, poor, rich, drunk, sober, whatever! We sill have tons of fun together when were sober so chill out mama, im here forever!!" I love her!

Of at I had my consult with my amazing surgeon, meeting with my nutritionist, meeting with pre and post op RN, meeting with the bariatric coordinator, my first support group and my first nutrition class!! From 2pm-7pm of doctors and specialists!! It was awesome!!!! However my surgeon suggested GB instead of the Sleeve I've been so focused on. I am still doing the sleeve though.

I'm in grass valley. My sleeve surgery is Wednesday. It took me 10 months to get through all the tests and weigh ins. I haven't really figured out how to post from my iPhone but I'll figure it out. OMG a local!! We have lived in Alta Sierra for Years and now live in LOP. Who's your surgeon? I'd love to talk to you more!

It is scary but you will be in very capable hands. Read and learn as much as you can on here. Follow the nutritionist's guidelines on Vitamins and Protein and you will set yourself up for success. WLS is more of a head game than anything else, I highly recommend regularly attending a support group. At almost a year out, I still attend and learn new things. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions. Erica Thank you soooo much!!!

Same here, Dr. Eslami was my surgeon. How was your experience with him? Any complications?

Thanks for the info! I'm lol because I'm only an hour or so from Sacramento. .. pretty good stores Hey areal i am in Auburn. Who is your surgeon? Mines dr eslami.

Hey everyone. I'm in Auburn which is basically in Sac since my doctor is in Sac. I'm still doing all my pre approval BS And were shooting for April. I need local buddies.... This is scary!

No way man it's true! Awesome work!!! I hope I'm as successful

WOW!! You go girl!

Damn!!!! Your smoking!! Good job!!

My doc said it's cause I seem to have issues with sugar.. I told him I have sugar about three times a week an he said that's excessive. Puzzled I was like "whatever dude" and said I wanted the sleeve.

K so I have been with my hubs for 13 years.. He's an awesome man who treats me like a queen. My mom is a meddler... She calls all day, texts, blows up every line I have, just to ask me a silly question. She has moved in twice and it's always ended disastrously.. She meddles in our home loans, how we raise our kids and has moved back and forth from California to Oregon more times than I can count which irritates me cause our kids get bummed and she does not seen to care. She recently moved 6 houses down from us and has been just showing up whenever she feels like it. I have asked her to call first but she keeps doing it. She even saw my son walking to school one morning and picked him up and took him to school and did not let us know till way later which kind of pissed us both off. We like to know where he is and feel she should have asked first... My husband who is really passive and easy going has hit his breaking point. He does not even like seeing her anymore. So he told me he was gonna go off on her and I said no let me talk to her calmly. So I did. I simply told her that she has boundaries that need to be respected and she cannot meddle or show up anymore. She FLIPPED OUT on me. Cussed me out and called my husband every name in the book. Then said that she won't come around ever again until I divorce him. Told me she knows he does not like her and that she's done with is. I tried telling her that all she needs to Sonia call before she comes over but she was too far gone by that time. I feel guilty, but we have had enough.... I don't know what to do.... Advice?

Thanks everyone...

Ok so today I got home from 10 hours at work to a bag on my front porch.. I walk up to it squinting to make out what's in it and as I pick it up I notice it's the blanket I got her for Christmas. I'm like... Wth? Inside is everything I got her for Christmas!!!!!! Her bracelet, blankie, pillow and cool razor..... I was shocked!!! I came inside and went straight to my room and started sobbing..... I picked myself up for a moment to text her. I say, "why did you return your Christmas gifts? What the fuck is wrong with you?!" She replies, "oh that was three days ago it was stupid of me" so I ask my husband I he noticed it and he said no and then my 11 year old an he's all, "I saw it there Monday but forgot to tell you." I don't come in the front door I always come and go through the garage cause I park in there so I never saw it!!" I told her that it's fucked up and thanks to her in sobbing! She replies, "don't cry it was meant to mean that all I want is your love not monitory things" I never replied and I won't... I'm speechless......

It's all about the angle and lighting. I'm 35 and 245 lbs and my profile pic was taken last week! Lol!!!
