Thanks Drewslou, no it's not. I have one on my ankle, that one hurt much worse.

I saw yours. Isn't it on your foot? If so then I've seen it and it's great, colorful.

Yeah, it's on my foot. It's almost healed now and looks awesome. Didn't expect the top of my foot to hurt so much... duh!

I've always wanted something there on my foot to hide my scar there too. You've just inspired me. *goes to work on a foot tattoo*

I have zero tats now. My plan is to wait until I'm done losing weight, done with any cosmetic surgery I may choose to have after the weight is off and stable, wait till my last scars from any cosmetic surgery done is fully healed and then decide on tats and locations for them, likely some to cover scars, I've been thinking I'll probably have a Tummy Tuck, and I'll probably have some kind of 'belt' tattoo to cover the tt scar. I started planning the possibilities as soon as I decided to go for the lap band. I can't wait!... but I'm going to - LOL!

I promised to post a pic of my new tat. It was taken the day after I got it so my foot is pretty swollen and it was with the camera phone so not the best quality but here ya go!

LOVE IT!:biggrin:

this is a great thread! i'm thinking of getting a tattoo (lettering) in a few weeks on my chest (under my collarbone). i'm hoping that because it's a flatter area (like the back) that it will be ok. does anyone have a chest tattoo that has fared well?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
