Post a picture when it's done and healed.

I don't have one but I will after this journey.

I had one and had it sanded off. (Before laser removal.)

It's certainly a personal decision. I just wish they hadn't become the fad they are, I think lots more people are going to be seeking dermatologists in the future to get them off.

I am excited see yours, though! Please make sure to post some pics!

Hey all,

I have a tattoo on my butt, it is the Eye of Horus, Egyptian. I love it! It is used as an amulent against injury, so I've always considered it my good luck charm. I want another, but my DP is totally against it. Anyway, I've had it since I was 24, (waited 4 years to get it, just to make sure)!

Can't wait to see yours!

Kristen,

I have two tattoos and I love them! I am probably going to get another one this summer!! Your tattoo sounds like a nice one. Mine are around my ankle, I am not sure where I will put the next one.

Pamela, I like the meaning behind your tattoo!

Hi everybody,

have three tattoos, one on each arm and a fairly good sized one (no pictue of it) on my back.

Will get a memorial tattoo for my dad this year on my calf with the shield of the fire department he was in for over 30 years.

Show us your new master piece.

I've got 3, and regret just one of them...the tribal band and rose on the small of my back - they're now being called "tramp stamps" :)

My hubby hates them all.

I have a "tramp stamp". A butterly with scroll work around it, and plans to get another done around Mothers Day (a waterlilly or lotus flower on my belly or flank, I am not sure yet)

      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.
