July Butterflies Master Thread



Recommended Posts

No pain at all, they use a numbing agent that really worked, I have 10 other tatoos and this was nothing compared to them. A little sore today and looks a little scarey with the swelling but she said it would go down in a day or two. I paid $325.00 for upper and lowers I also had her do the soft tissue behind the lower lash because I'm use to wearing a heavy liner anyway. Price will very depending on where you live. When I started looking into it everyone told me $450.00 That was a little to much for me so I just kept checking until the place I wanted to use ran a special I could afford. I've heard of others in other states paying as low as $225.00 for uppers and lowers. my cost also covers the touch up.

Thanks Kimaly. I might give that to myself when I reach this July challenge. I hate putting on eyeliner. I have lenses in my eyes from cataract surgery and I can't see crap up close.

Sometimes I go without liner cuz it takes so long.

what does it mean soft tissue behind the lower lash? Does that mean on the inside? Or do you hey just tattoo really close to the lash line

It's the pink part of the lower lid behind the lash. Alot of people just apply liner to the lash line I always do the inside of the lower lid also. I wear heavy liner as I am lash impaired. LOL

Hey all! Just checking in. I had an appt with my surgeon this morning, but didn't get a fill. I was fine a week and a half ago and eating more grilled chicken caesar salad than I would like. I received some really bad news that stressed me to the max and my band responded by tightening up. Good news, I am down 102 lbs overall.

2lbs this week, but I already adjusted my ticker on sat. I'm gonna try to stay off the scale except on my Tuesday weigh in. There was a time when I avoided the scale at all cost and now I can't stay off of it. Almost everytime I walk in the bathroom I get on that stupid thing even though I tell myself I'm not gonna do it.

Oh my mom does that I can't. I barely get on there every week.

Hide it in your car then you can't get on it without going to get it then you may not want to go all through the trouble except for 1 x a week

That's a really good idea, in the trunk it goes. I bet it drives me crazy. Changing the subject. I never thought I would say this but I'm getting really sick of food. I'm tired of the things I can eat and it just makes me want nothing alot of the times. (of coarse with the exception of the things I can't have) I'm tired of trying to come up with new ideas. Which mostly involve chicken or fish and at this point I have lost the taste for both no matter how you cook it. and another subject change: My ex (which is still a good friend of mine) stopped by the job yesterday to say hi to me and the DH and he asked why my eyes were a little puffy so I told him and he said that I was becomming quite fake, Nothing is really me anymore, When I inquired about what he meant he said if your fat your fat and if your skinny your skinny and so on and so on. He also said he liked me the way I was, Natural. I just said if you liked me that much then why did you have so many affairs? Most of my friends are really pissing me off with their comments about my weightloss and how I got to take the easy way out, I'm starting to not like them so much anymore. Anyone else feeling this way? Maybe it's just me, possible bad mood day.

        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!

      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
