ChubRub

Best of luck to you @Darktowerdream!!! Hope you have some fun mom/daughter time too. I love pixie haircuts BTW! Unfortunately, my face is too fat for one. I need big hair to balance my big face! LOL!! You are so tiny, and I bet the cut looks perfect on you!

I completely agree that she should support you, and you have every right to feel hurt. I'm sorry if my previous post made it sound like I was agreeing with her! I'm not!! I'm glad your hubby is 100% in your corner though!! Hopefully your mom will come around too, especially when she sees how healthy and happy you are!

Congrats!!! I agree, we need some before/after pics!!!

Only a few more days to go!!!!! I'm excited for you!!!! Happy packing!!!!

That's a great NSV!!!!!!!!!

I'm glad that you adore your surgeon, but I disagree with him telling your mom and husband that it's their job to keep junk food away from you. You need to learn to say "no thank you" and resist the temptation. I say this is as someone who never met a donut/cake/brownie that I didn't like, someone who ate fast food every day, and sometimes 2x a day. Since surgery, I don't want that crap! My husband and kids had ice cream last night...no biggie. Now before surgery, I would have dug right in! LOL!!! Your taste buds will chance, your appetite will change, but you have to change too!! Don't expect others to do it for you!! Lots of hugs!!! You can do this!!

Congrats!!! Can't wait to see pics of the new you!!!

WOW!!! You look amazing already, and it's only been 12 days since surgery!!! Curves in all the right places!!!

Congratulations!!! 5 Months, wow!! The fun part is you don't have to wait that much longer for baby to arrive!

Congrats!!!! Perhaps the neck pain is from being in a weird position during surgery? If it's just muscle pain, some Icy Hot or Biofreeze will help!

The reason I chose bypass was b/c I read so many stories about people converting after the sleeve, and I didn't want to have a 2nd surgery down the road. I also had GERD, and didn't want it to get worse. My GERD completely went away after my bypass. I don't even need TUMS anymore...it's amazing!

Woo hoo!!!! So many victories in just 5 months!!!!

Are you on Lovenox or any other blood thinners?

Yes!!!!!!!!!

Yes, bonus points for me! LOL!! The FB groups are blowing up over the new prices! I seriously lucked out!

I can imagine how scary that was!! I'm glad you are feeling better, and hope you can figure out what caused it so that it doesn't happen again!!

Fun update!! The price of my surgery just increased by $6K, but I'm already locked in at the lower price!! Woo Hoo!!!

Has anyone tried these? If so, are they any good? Ads keep showing up on my FB feed, and I feel like maybe it's a sign I should try this! LOL!!

I didn't tell my kids (only my husband knows). I just said I was going away for work and would be at a hotel for 1 night. I'm sneaky like that! LOL!! Best of luck with your surgery!!

Woo Hoo!!!!! congrats!!!

A lot of women do BBL for their booties, but for me, it seems weird to re-inject fat that I've been trying so hard to get rid of! I'm not thrilled with my thighs, but am hoping that the TT will help that a bit!!

YES!! Obsessed! LOL!! I've also joined some FB groups too with lots of before/after pics!!!

Judging from your profile pic you can not only WEAR a bikini, but also ROCK a bikini!!!

How are you feeling? You back home yet?

I'm so sorry that you went through all of that. Glad you are ok! Rest well, and welcome to the thin side!!!
