My husband is from the Philippines and we moved here so I could "retire" at 44 and have a live-in maid, etc.....
Anyway, at 5'2" I AM tall by their standards!! Yes, they probably see me as blonde, too, since I am brunette and not dark brown/black. I wear large shirts (because I am still carrying H cup boobs), and size 12 pants (could probably wear smaller if I had panniculectomy). Here, I have to buy 2X shirts and I don't have a clue what size pants because I haven't tried any on, yet...but their pant sizes run by waist size (I think).
Unfortunately, they love snack foods here!! Aisles and aisles of chips and cookies are everywhere!! They are constantly snacking in this country.....they eat breakfast, then 2 hours later they what is called "merinda" (snack), then they eat lunch another couple of hours later, then a few hours later another merienda, then dinner. believe me, it is very hard NOT to snack here!!
Hi all,
I haven't posted here in a long time. Had my surgery a year ago New Year's Eve, have lost 100 pounds since surgery, but a total off 130 pounds since I started the whole weight loss surgery journey. All I ever wanted was my health back and to feel "normal". I have accomplished everything I wanted, I am so happy and feeling so good!! So, I moved to the Philippines in July, and when out shopping I find that I now must buy "Plus Sizes" again!! The ladies here so small that it totally throws me into the fat girl category again!! AND, according to their weight/height charts I am obese again!! Well, kind of depressing....but I guess it is like comparing apples to oranges......I am a different nationality with different traits, etc.....anyway...just wanted to share with you guys!! Now I feel like I need WLS again over here!!!

I need all the support out there. I wish there where more support meetings through my doctors office. Anyway, we are here for each other.
I think the move to Owasso is a good thing - this way the nursing staff will be familiar with wls - St. Francis had some nurses trained and then others weren't it was more a make sure you know what your suppose to do so you didn't get messed up, when I was at St. Francis/
I am just making sure of the time. I'm excited to see y'all again.
I do wish this board was more active... I miss everyone posting here like they used to.
