I got a new tattoo about 4 months ago. I have gone through a lot in the last 5 years and it is my way of commemorating how far I have come. 5 years ago I lost my husband to cancer and since then having to do things on my own, gaining more self confidence, a new love of my life and getting the lapband. Is it 5 butterflies the smallest (on my foot) has duller colors signifying where I started and the largest has the brightest colors. I do have to say that it is larger than I had wanted at first but now I love it.

Ooooooo that's so pretty!

So sorry to hear about the rough times you've been through but glad to hear it's all looking brighter now!

I've been wanting a tattoo for the longest time!!! The only thing stopping me is that I really have no idea what I want... seems like everyone has a butterfly... but I do like the dragonfly idea! I told myself when I got to 50lbs I'd do it... well that has come and gone and no tattoo! So I guess I need to make up my mind and go for it!

OMG!!! I love this!! My hubby was in the Navy and when I told him I wanted to get a tat to Celebrate my weight loss he said he's always wanted to get one to commemorate his time in the service so we're gonna do it together. I never thought of a pin-up girl for myself. Too cool!!

      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.
