Indeed I am!!! I don't have my date yet but I'm praying they will let me schedule it this week. I'm starting my prep diet Monday no matter what. If it means I'll have to be on it longer than the 4 weeks then so be it. -
Your dream outfit
laurenella82 replied to bobbyswife's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Shorts!!!!!! I used to have very nice thick legs (genetics! Even the size 2 women in m family have thick legs!) I want them back so I can flaunt them at our annual 4 th of July Block party! I have a pair of American flag stilettos to wear and I want a cute patriotic t shirt to go with too. (I love 4th of July!!) I have about 500 pics of outfits I would like to wear once I lose the weight.- 107 replies

I already had big feet! Then when I was pregnant they went up a size. So now I'm sporting skis for feet lol! Did your shoe size change as you lost weight?

Smooth move is my answer/go to when I feel like I've eat to much
laurenella82 replied to pinkbunies's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use it quite often. Usually anyplace that sells tea has it. I've gotten it at the grocery stores and the health stores like GNC and vitamin shoppe. If your local grocery store doesn't have it you should find it there. -

I love MFP. I forget to log in some days though -
Were you anemic prior to surgery?

I almost cried reading your post. When the children worry its always heart wrenching. I think that your decision to have WLS is an amazing step forward in taking back your health. Congratulations! We make our choices mostly for ourselves but our children are huge factors in the decision making. I've not been sleeved yet but I'm looking forward to claiming my seat on the losers bench. Hope to see you there!! God bless!!!

Presurgery weight gain
laurenella82 replied to Timmy2shirts's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I lost one pound between my first and second appointments I have one appointment left and I'm hoping I didn't gain more than 1-2. But I wasn't told I needed to lose anything at this point. I just needed to make changes to my diet. Which I have. I'm thinking she will want me to lose a certain number of pounds prior to surgery during the 4 week pre-op diet. -
Name something strange and super unhealthy that you used to eat before weight loss
laurenella82 replied to My Bariatric Life's topic in Food and Nutrition
Sweetened condensed milk...I've not had my surgery yet but I used to look forward to thanksgiving because I usually make the corn pudding and I would get an extra can of sweetened condensed milk just to eat. This year I didn't make it so I didn't have any. Thank GOD!!! Lol -
Has your shoe size changed?
laurenella82 replied to laurenella82's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It's not easy at all! But I've gained so much weight that now I can't really wear my heels anymore so now it's just finding cute flats. It's not bad in the spring/summer. But winter/fall is a bi@#h -
Has your shoe size changed?
laurenella82 replied to laurenella82's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I would love to be in a 9-9.5. I went from 10 to 11 smh. Size 11 heels on a 5' tall woman is NOT RIGHT! ???????? -
Protein Drink That Isn't Sweet?
laurenella82 replied to Connorsmama7's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
What's the texture like? Have you put it in anything like soup? -
Current 297 size 22/3x. 5'tall. I would like to be a size 6/8. I've never been much smaller than that and with my frame I think I would look silly if I were much smaller. Although if a size 4 doesn't make me look like a bobble head doll ???? then I'm cool with that too.

Great news! Congratulations and blessings for your surgery!

Awesome!!! ????????

Beautiful family! Enjoy!!

It wasn't. It's coming! But validate yourself for now. You see and feel the difference. And at the end of the day this journey is about you. Giving yourself more love, more credit for taking back your health. At some point those around you will see what you already see.

Did you not need it or not want it? Sometimes I don't want to be noticed. Sometimes I just want to fade into the background. I wasn't like that when I was younger/smaller. I loved the attention then. Not so much not at almost 300 pounds.

In Jesus' name, Amen!

Why is my Pre-op diet so long?
laurenella82 replied to laurenella82's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
That's awesome! Idk how much they will want me to lose but I'm going all in! -
I've been reading and see that some people didn't have more than 1-2 weeks and some 1-3 days pre-op diet. Why in the WORLD is my doc saying 4 weeks???????????
-
I agree. I'm afraid I may have the same problem. You live do long feeling one way because if your weight then it all changes but your mind hasn't caught up. Good luck on your journey!
