Mine look worse that that want2lose. I am completely bruised like purple .... plus have the scars. It has only been 8days and the purple is now turning to yuk yellow but it looks bad however if I am thinner then it will be worth it in the long run. I am tired of being fat even though I dress nice I did not like what I saw.. Brendab

Alot of this weight stuff is how you view ones self, I was always told I was pretty but if I just lost a couple pounds..(by so called Friends) I over compenasated for my weight with all the extras makeup, nails, hair, great clothes and designer shoes/purses. and of course my bestest friend JEWERLY..

We are BEAUTIFUL in our husbands/ wives eyes and we are all loved so right there is half the battle. I know very skinny woman who would just die to be in our shoes. and most of all GOD loves us and he created our free will to eat and the doctors have given us a new chance on becoming healthier not just thinner.

God bless,

off to do some "work" outside the home at the law office.. of course today I am sicker than a dog with allergies.......:sick

oh well have a happy day

xoxo Rita Ann

My DH keeps laughing at me that I even care about the scars. Given that most my mid section is totally covered with a million stretch marks, whats a couple little scars thrown in there. I guess I wished they were lower so if I get a TT they would be even lower or gone all together.

I too am a bruised mess and it has been 12 days.It is getting better but the area where the port is now has red bumps but no infection. I think I may have an allergy to the tape. Brendab

The full size me is the day before my surgery. Then I have one a couple days after the surgery with my steri-strips and band-aids. Like the Hello Kitty?

Then, I have a pic a couple of weeks after where I accidentally ripped open a part of my incision and had to put a steri-strip back on. I'm about 2 1/2 months out now.

I used the Vitamin 3 oils on my 3rd degree leg burns and boy it you don't think that'll take scars AWAY, not just lighten them, your wrong. Anybody that has they're doubts, look at my burn pics I posted. Wow, did it ever work.

WHERE CAN YOU GET SOME OF THAT Vitamin 3 OILS?

      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.
