I just wanted to stop pass and say hello; I'm 11 mons post op and feeling and looking great. The WLS has changed my life so much, I can't begin to tell you all. I don't know how to deal with all the compliments, I get so many. I'm dating now, I enjoy meeting new people, people say that I'm the life of the party. I have a new name "Diva Tee". I have about 80 more pounds to lose, but I'm happy that I lost what I did. The most exciting thing more me is going shopping for new clothes. I love it. Before WLS: 383 current: 248 Goal: 160 Phenomenal Woman Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I`m not cute or built to suit a fashion model`s size But when I start to tell them, They think I`m telling lies. I say, It`s in the reach of my arms The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I`m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That`s me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It`s the fire in my eyes, And the flash ofmyteeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I`m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That`s me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can`t touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can`t see. I say, It`s the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I`m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That`s me. Now you understand Just why my head`s not bowed. I don`t shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say, It`s in the click of my heels, The bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, The need of my care. `Cause I`m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That`s me. Diva Tee!! Poem written by Dr. M. Angelo Every woman is phenomenal, in a most special way. Take a moment to reflect on your own phenomenal qualities.

I was irritated too........first off the complainer who was non-compliant didn't even look that bad to begin with......It seems like all she wanted was bigger boobs!!! I would love to have her body before all the work....lol!!! I can't believe she would whine so much about it being so hard either......I would love her to walk around a couple days with MY saddle bags....or tummy.....lol!!! I would be so greatful for a chance like that.....not disobey doctors orders and complain! I am glad she didn't win! Oh well, I kinda bugs me too! Life!!!! Take Care Jesi

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr I missed my show again?!!!! Gonna have to catch it next week. Are they having a rerun? Tracy

I watch it when I can. Last week's women didn't even look that pretty to me. But It sure shows how much pain they go thru post-op. And some of those women need new significant others. The men are so creepy. Luckily not all of them though. I just had my hernia repaired the 18th of October and now can see the skin issues on my tummy so much more. yuck! But my hernia repair pain is still here so I don't even want to think about anymore surgery right now. Know what imean? You are right though, they should be so happy to get all that done for free.
