Today is my birthday and the greatest gift I'm giving to myself is my surgery next month! Can't Waite and super excited. Told my family to save their money to buy me a real The North Face jacket for my smaller self lol. Anyone have any cute accomplishment that kept them motivated like fitting on a ride, walking longer, fitting in smaller cloths? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you!!!! I remember going into PINk when I was probably 17 I think it was that store with my friend and the lady working there just gave me this nasty look! My friend could fit the clothes so she didn't notice her face of course. But I'd love to shop at jcpennys, belk, kohls where it's not tucked in a corner.

Yes got rid of a friend who was also going to have gastric bypass. She was very negative all the time and I think bc I got my date first she became jealous. And tried to start stuff like I'm jealous bc I don't have a man, or tell her other friends what I said but deleted her comments back to me. But my days without her are sooooo much better by far!!

Bc with normal tummies it's a small bar and Water is to help feel full. They recommend that with most bars. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Bc it's lowered the IQ in your brains to find the real articles... But please do it and see how long you live not my problem! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Chemo for what? It's basically a death. While it works on one part of the body it kills another! How about you go do some research! It's not healing her it's keeping a distraction but not like that matters... Go read a REAL background on the drug not Wikipedia Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I believe you have to be drug tested or at least here where I live you do! Can't have it in your system 6 months before or you will be disqualified!... And I'm sorry but smoking that stuff kills brain cells in the beginning with why would you do it when you have had a surgery? It's like a death sentence! I wish people would take nursing classes and learn about the body and what things kill.... But no one can stop you if your ganna do it, then don't ask what will happen if you don't believe it will happen to you.... Js and if my comment seems rude it's only the truth and the truth hurts!

Oh Lordy I tell my daughter, and we watched skin tight along with 600 pound life. I tell her if you don't eat right or exercise this could be you. So I have to make her go outside but once she's out she runs and everything. So get her outside playing or to a track walk/run together make new and active memories. Plus I think gyms will allow 13 year olds to workout with you at planet fitness they do. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm glad you all had bad dates too and I'm not the only one! Though I have stopped dating till I get my surgery and become who I want to be on the outside. All of my dates were bad in the past I don't know how many times iv been called fat! Or like one guy said my face doesn't match my body! I am to big for his type! And the sad part is I told them I'm a bigger girl. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have been going to my gastric bypass support meetings and they told me you might want to sleep in a recliner. Did anyone not sleep in one? And do good getting out of bed? Should I buy a ton of pillows bc I don't own a recliner... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Why did I have to lose my grandma who I could tell anything to and talk about things with. It's been a few month and now my pApa is getting rid of all her stuff. my parents have done a lot for him and see him daily but yet he says they do nothing for him. My aunt lives in va beach and has him doing things so if he passes she gets it all. Which is not a big deal but my grandma would never approve of the hurtful things he's said to our family and have done. It hurts me she was looked at like a bother so many memories in the house that lingers of sadness now. We were allowed in to get some of her things like cloths and I just cried saying I'm sorry grandma. My papa always talks about us ( me and my family) like we are stupid along with being fat we are going to not live long. My surgery is also a waste bc I'll be fat again in 2 years. Is how he thinks. I just don't see how someone could be so rude, so mean, and heartless. The reason for this rant is bc I'm sick of him and sick of remembering all the times he's called me fat, my sister fat, my grandma (who was dying) fat, and my mom fat.

Ehhh think about who's hands have been in there and knocked another doughnut. One thing I never do is eat food from work or school. Germs all over them. Def if they went potty and never washed their hands. Ewwwwwwe Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have tolerated it for many years and it's just getting worse. I know he has some type of dementia or something but he will never go to the doctor to be diagnosed. I will get back on track tomorrow, my grandma was all for me and the surgery. So I will make it my life goal to lose weight and run 5Ks for her. Do things she did with me ( tweetsie railroad, historical places, amusement parks, ect..) with my daughter. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I believe bc of my weight I don't get my periods have not had one since April and that was on the 10 day pills to make me have one. I am sure after I lose weight it will come back and I'm sure that day will look like a shark took a bite out of me haha... But Im sure it's normal bc the fact our body is going through changes Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Well I choose to use never again bc Ik I'm a binge eater and crackers are my go to, eating a whole sleeve before I know it! So why spend thousands to end up right back where I started in a year or 3, eating sleeves of crackers.... Guess the point is if it's a food you ate constantly with the habit of bingeing don't put it in you mouth! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ahh I will never eat crackers (all brands) again when I have my surgery, I believe I'll stay away from my food Devils. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
