SO true!!!!!
-
Yea Beth that is so MEAN to tell people. What were you thinking?
-
Well what are you gonna do about it??
-
Well, maybe they just THOUGHT you were a beotch?
-
Yea I've been a lot saggier since I have lost weight. Lane Bryant makes a pushup plunge bra that is really good for sag.
-
Hey I start nursing school in 3 weeks!
-
Well, that's part of the insurance requirements. You can only get a band if you're a beotch.

Should prostitution be legal?

I think you can also give it away for a nice dinner. -
I think they can measure either way. I think the best way is without your shirt, but with your bra still on. They just measure over the bra. They are very professional. Once you find a style you like, you can also look on ebay and find them a lot cheaper sometimes. Victoria's Secret goes up to 40DD. So once you get smaller, you could go there and have them measure you, then you could find the VS bras on ebay. I can't afford to shop there either, but I buy them a lot on ebay. I found a VS pushup bra on ebay that I really like.

Have you tried Lane Bryant or Fashion Bug? I know Fashion Bug does free bra fitting. And there bras are resonable. They also have really good sales a lot.

Try some Miralax or some Phillips. It doesn't cause as much cramping.
-
Thanks. I was upset at first, but I'm ok now. I am starting nursing school in a few weeks, so everything will work out.
-
I hate the term 'full figured'.
-
Well don't you know that's what happens when you get a band? It makes you mean. That's how it works.

Congrats on being approved for the surgery! Do you know when you'll be having it? The last time I was in a 16 (before now) I think was about 10 years ago. I thought I was huge too. I don't think that now. I had no idea what huge was back then. I feel good at this size, but I do want to go down some more and get out of the plus sizes. Don't worry, the surgery will work for you. Everyone thinks it won't work at first. I thought the same thing. And even when the weight started coming off, I still didn't believe it. It takes a while for your mind to catch up. Your husband probably won't recognize you next year!

You're supposed to start mushies on the way home from the hospital.
-
Why did everyone leave when I came in? IS IT BECAUSE I'M FAT???
-
Well a minute ago you said you hated it. Can't you make up your mind??
-
There's no freakin way I would ever!!
-
I have gone from a 22 to a 16. I never thought I would be so glad to be in a 16!!
-
Well, I think I'll try the triple cheeseburger from Wendy's. Do you think that will work?
-
They will only pay if you are pretty and have big boobs. Oh yea, you have to be blonde too.
-
Well, gee didn't they tell him that would happen? He can't have sex again. That's how the band works.
-
I wanna get a band, but I think I'll just only drink protein shakes. Does anyone think that will work? Because I just can't stand the thought of vomiting. Please answer soon.

Tales of Bowel Prep
Carrie_C replied to SummerAgain's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Funny you should post this. I just had to have a colonoscopy yesterday so I had to do bowel prep on thursday. I had to do 4 dulcolax and 8 doses of Miralax. It was AWFUL!!
