Did you loose friends?
tacocat replied to Tina4heath4ever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Judged at the hospital
tacocat replied to BairwithMe's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

I'm a big diva cup fan. I had no issues with insertion/removal at 270. -
I went to a frou frou fancy restaurant. I got their small plate with a prawn on it. It was creepy and it had a face, but it was small enough I just blended in with the other eaters.
