Nume a lot of the guys I know think the less hair down there the better. I want to get a Brazilian also. I can only imagine that the hell of pain would be worth it for the 6 weeks or so that that area would be maintenance free. I actually know the pain because I tried to do it myself once. That is a bad idea. I sort of chickened out once I had all the wax on and could not rip it off quickly like you are supposed to. I ended up curled up in a ball on my bathroom floor sobbing to my Mother over the phone. She still teases me about it. I think with someone else doing it I would just buck up and deal.

Losing, I just wanted to tell you have absolutely beautiful and happy you look!!! I was going to tell you that in the B&A thread but I was afraid it would get lost and you would never see it. The transformation that you have gone through it truly stunning. How do you see yourself now? Do you see a smaller version of yourself or are the thoughts still with you that you are bigger than you really are. I wondered about this a lot and wanted to ask you. BUT truly you look like a whole person again in the secong photo...that smile is to die for!!! Good job with all your hard work!! Deanna

Deanna,

Thanks so much! :eek:

i do not see myself as a smaller me on a daily basis. i still think of myself as being 400+ pounds. however, i do have my 'moments of clarity'... i was getting dressed a couple of days ago and just noticed that my (big) belly is no longer gigantic. i can now see my thighs when i sit down. but i see these things and it just tickles me pink... :o i can now drive my DH's car. last year this time, i couldnt even get behind the wheel and if i did HAVE to, i had to recline the seat and tilt the wheel all the way up. now i can slip in, not adjust the seat and leave the wheel where DH keeps it and i fit fine ... :whoo:

its the little NSVs that make this worth it.

losingjusme, you really do look fantastic!

I agree with you about the NSV, my hubby has a PT Cruiser and the seatbelt in that thing is short, short, short. At my heaviest I barely got it buckled in the driver's seat (the passenger seat is a little longer), I had to exhale and really tug/push to snap it. Now I have enough slack to lean forward and turn to look out all sides of the car!

okay, I am really going to show my ignorance here but does a brazilian wax leave you, completely bare? What happens when it starts to grow in? wouldn't it be like a bunch of prickles??? :eek: How about a nice painless trim (I think I could handle that :o)

I'm not sure about that...I do know my DH wants a little hair there...says "it's too much like a pre-puberty girl if not and that just feels wrong!" (his words, not mine!)

My DH actually likes to shave me there...go figure! So I never really have to worry about the wax thing. Besides...I have thin hair EVERYWHERE, so I don't require much maintainence. (Can't believe I am posting this!!! LOL)

You're lucky! Though mine doesn't really grow fast, it is coarse.

My hubby prefers it to be completely bare. So do I, actually. I prefer me bare, and I prefer men bare. I never thought I would, but the first time I was with a man who was trimmed nicely, I LOVED it. Then I was with one who didn't trim and it was like a brillo pad. Men look sooooooo much better without hair. It also makes it look TONS bigger.

And yes, a brazilian wax is TOTALLY bare, front and taint.

I have brazilian waxed DH many times, but I don't have the cahones to have him wax me. I'd have a professional do it, but I can't see having one do it until I'm at least 100lbs lighter than I am now.

I also hate the "floss" effect and the feeling of having a hair ball in your throat you get when fellating a man if they have hair, ewwwww.

losing, that is so great!!!!! I know about the seat belt thing...that is the worse thing EVER!!! I always take my own car because you never know if someone elses seat belt will fit!! What an NSV for you. Are you doing any therapy work for your self image. I went to a support group last night and the topic was guided imagery...it was interesting. I really do think I am small until I see myself in the mirror or in passing in windows, then the reality hits me that I am huge still and have a LONG way to go. But in my mind and when I can't see myself I feel like a little person...it is kinda weird. THanks for responding and keep up the great work!!! You are an inspiration!!!!

As for the brazillian wax...can you say torture....is it really a 6 week before you have to do it again. That IS a long time, but I can't imagine!!

Babygrl......how the hell did you get the wax off??? Oh my, I can't even imagine the agony of that situation....Deanna

I never even thought about men getting one done.....does that not HURT them soooooooo bad when pulling hair off their balls????:faint:

Think about all the pain we go through, eyebrow plucking or waxing, high heels, thongs, perms, shave burns, nylons, garters,etc...(not to mention child birth).

A few minutes every couple of months of having hot wax spread on their balls and having the hair yanked out by the roots seems somewhat appropriate...:heh::heh::heh: :whoo:

No, seriously, DH says after the first time it really wasn't so bad. The wax is very warm, that opens the follicles a bit and the yank is really fast, then you immediately apply pressure to the area and it sort of calms the pain quickly.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
