Size 14 on what planet??? At 250 I was still wearing 20-22. Talk about STRETCH pants....OUCH!

I do have a friend, though who outweighed me by about 75 lbs, and she wore the same size jeans I did. I'll never understand how that worked! Of course, she wears a T cup bra, and I was a B at my highest weight....maybe that had a little something to do with it... :omg::faint:

Holy.... A T-CUP? Her back must HATE her.

I was a 20 at 222 pounds. And that was a tad snug, to be honest. Like you said, I don't see how a 250 pound person could POSSIBLY be a size 14. But yeah, the way people wear their fat really makes a difference in sizing. I carry my weight in my belly, for the most part, so I always have to look for larger sizes than a lot of people that carry their weight in their chest or hips.

Yeah, I don't know how she's upright most of the time....How awful to be SO VERY blessed in that area... She has to have her bras specially made, and ONE usually costs her upwards of $100. RIDICULOUS.

I now have another.

Get the lap band so you can drink less and still get drunk. Saves money.

Oy. That thread just made me shake my head. And the post about switching to red wine instead of drinking cocktails to avoid getting drunk was genious.

Fact is, you can't help anyone who doesn't want help. They have to come to the realization that they are alcoholics or food addicts or (insert addiction here). Hell, why do people think we avoided having our picture taken and most of us didn't own full-length mirrors? It was because it was a heck of a lot easier to delude ourselves and avoid the knowledge that we were FAT if we couldn't SEE our fat.

OMZ I saw that too. I couldn't BELIEVE what I was reading.

I started to respond to that and realized it was useless so I didn't bother.

I hadn't read that thread. It's unbelievable. Then they said "maybe

I have an addictive personality" sheessh now where would you get an idea like that?!

Good thing you didn't. Might have gotten accused of ganging up on her.

Yeah, but you're a giant, too! :heh: Most women just aren't lucky enough to have your body type.

URG! I was reading a post earlier, a newbie banded Oct. 1 was still supposed to be on mushies, and tried a piece of dry white meat chicken.

I couldn't help myself. I asked her if there was any particular reason she was going against her doctor's orders, and she said no reason, I just wanted to try it.

Well, you have to know it's killing me to not go back to the thread and say what's on my mind......:censored::frusty:

I saw a post on the other forum today about eating a chocolate macadamia cookie. She had surgery on 10/8. WTH??? Who in their right mind would eat nuts two weeks after surgery?

[travelgirl 3]

Oh, Mylanta!

I think my worst 'cheat' during post-op was my delerious moment where I sucked on a piece of Pizza Crust. It was certainly a crazy moment, but it sure made me happy.

[anonemouse 1]

Honestly, I didn't have to cheat in my post-op. Mainly because I didn't have a post-op diet. They gave me pureed stuff in the hospital and the surgeon told me to move on to soft solids whenever I started feeling hungry.
