The other day when my my little girl was giving me a hug, she said "Mommie, you smell so good. You always smell good."

That compliment is what initiated this thread.

When I get a compliment on my scent, it carries me farther then any weightloss comment... thats funny, I actually had never thought about it till now.

Even in my fattest, yukkiest days, I might have looked like something the cat drug in, but I always got complimented for smelling good. Scents do so much to lift your spirits.

"Looked like crap and smelled like roses," is what i used to say about myself... LOL, too funny!

Anyone have a Lamberge? (not sure if I spelled it correctly)

If you mean Lampe Berger, yes. I don't use it often, because the smell can be intense.

I like "Calyx" by Prescriptives, but in real life this is what I wear:

Undertone: Drips from melted low-fat Fudgsicles

Top note: Dog fur

Paula:

You must have ESP or something!! I have been asking my daughters to help me choose a new scent. I love the one I wear right now and choosing a new one is so challenging!

I purchase my perfumes on www.fragrancenet.com since they have great prices. I love it because they give a description of the KIND of scent it is. So when I look for a new one, I kinda stay in that same category because I like those types of scents.

I work in a large health system and always kept my scents light so as not to offend patients, as we were always told. But I found it bothered me too, so I keep it light.

Here is an example of my current fragrance from that site:

DESIGN HOUSE - Jean Paul Gaultier

YEAR INTRODUCED - 1993

FRAGRANCE NOTES - fresh spicy amber, vanilla and wood, an alluring scent

RECOMMENDED USE - casual

Hope this helps! Also, I get a weekly ad from Marshall Fields and they have samples in it; so I can test them out at my leisure.

Good luck! If you find a nice oriental, woodsy, light kinda perfume let me know!!!

Crystal/Vines, I thought that particular combination was my unique signature scent. Alas. It turns on only one sensory power, as far as I can tell: My dog knows when I'm coming home a couple of minutes before I arrive. But who knows what secret pheromones are being unleashed in the human population by our mysterious perfume!

      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.
