Vanity

Sorry you're going to miss the first meeting Kate, but it'll be okay. We're meeting every other wednesday as of right now. As far as pre-op advice-just follow the directions your Dr. gives you and be strong! congrats on getting a date!

your uber awesome! yeah lets do that! If you could post the address we can all plug it into our GPSs! I'll PM you guys my cell # okay so wed 7/8/9 at 10a at the mission valley library next to ikea....then swedish meatballs

OKay, our first official meeting is next wednesday at 4:56 7/8/9 (just joking but I read somewhere that the next time the time and date will align like that is in 3009!) anyways Wed 7/8/09 at 10am! I'm still looking for ideas of location? The office furniture section of Ikea? Balboa Park?

I'm in el cajon, so its looking like wednesdays at 10am? Mission Valley is a good middle ground right? but where? somewhere WITHOUT FOOD!!!

i think it really is they are scared of losing us.

Kate, Mom2 any input? I'll PM them in case they don't check back-but Wednesday 9/10 ish works. I'm east county

::crying:: Tomorrow is my surgery and I am so so so excited, so glad to start on this journey- to get to the other side of the bridge and start the uphill climb. I just wish that my dh was even slightly supportive. I feel very alone in this (minus all of you here on lbt!) If I even mention anything about my surgery, he shuts down. Like somebody flipped his power switch. Last night he blew up about the smallest thing (unrelated to surgery) and left the house for like 4 hours! I slept in the living room as my silent protest. as of right now its been like 16 hrs we haven't spoken over a stupid fuckin quarrell. And here I am 23 1/2 hrs away from surgery and not speaking to my husband (he hasn't even tried to talk to me) He refused to drive me to my appointment so my sister is. I'm going into mexico by myself and he hasn't the slightest concern (my friends bought me pepper spray lol) I just don't know...I don't even know how I'm getting home- I'm just trusting in my ability to figure shit out. I wonder if this will pass once the surgery is done and over.... Oh well, I am strong and will overcome these obstacles, just wish I had someone IRL that would be supportive. I can't thank all of my friends here on LBT enough for all the encouragement and support, you guys have really helped me through this!

Yes, 2 blogs in one day-one complaining, one hopeful... Call me vain if you will (it IS my name) But I can't help but think and hope of the future. A day when I'll REALLY be hot, and not fat-hot. I got my teeth whitened and they're AMAZING. Got a chemical peel- my skin is a work in progress.:smile2: And best of all I'm 5 days post op and the lightest I have been in years!:thumbup: There's a couple events coming up and I'd really like to WOW the people there! I know that I'm awesome now, But I really can't wait for the new and improved Vanity to rear her lovely head and take over THE WORLD!!:bored: I'll post new pics in a few weeks, I wanna make sure you can tell a difference. Yeah, I know I'm terrible. I watch americas next top model for insperation, I spend hours studying pin-ups to help formulate goals and a game plan :crying: (I don't think I've ever told anyone that!) anyways-I think thats it for now! Thanks for reading!

and just so we're clear- I now despise clear liquids :cool: (I know I should post my op day story, but ill do that later)

alright well lets do this!! How often should we meet? once a month, twice a month? I think once a week might be too much-thoughts? also what day? my weekends are generally full, but the mornings I can do...

Hi ladies!! I have 9 days till my surgery!! My DH doesn't approve/hates the idea/refuses to even drive me I'm doing it anyway of course, BUT should I care about his opinion? I mean yes, a marriage is a partnership but doesn't that mean wanting the best for each other? I am feeling guilty for going against his wishes (not guilty enough to not go through with it tho!) Anybody else go through this, or have any insight?

I'm curious about how tattoos react to weight loss (like if they get funky or anything?) Im moderatly tattooed my largest being a calf sleeve and I wonder what they'll look like after my weight loss? Any personal experiences with this?

well im banded now so theres no going back :thumbdown: he hasn't gotten better, so we'll see how it goes...
