LBL and BL/BA Pictures! (warning, nudity)
You are so sweet Heidi. I think OH attracts a lot of awesome people. Maybe because so many overweight and formerly overweight people have learned to be more sensitive and develop their personalities due to the poor treatment of society.
In any case I love the interaction with other members here.. seems so much higher quality than the average person in real life. I am also honored to have several real life friends I have met from this board.. and every single one of them is amazing.
I can't imagine going through this journey without the help of OH folks. I wouldn't want to. It is such a helpful thing to have that camaraderie, support and understanding of those that have been there.

Thank you! I could have lost more in my arms and thighs, but they just didn't bother me like my belly, and like you I just didn't think all the diet and exercise in the world was going to change that. When I sold my house I didn't think there was any better way to spend the money than investing it in myself.
It was cool being a homeowner but I love these results way better then all the work of owning a house anyway. Thanks about my boobs. They are really hard feeling, and the implants aren't dropped yet. I don't seem to have cleavage yet but we'll see how things turn out. It's hard to wait when you are excited.. you know? But I hear they change a lot over the next 3-6 months.

I know.. I hope I go down a few sizes.. I could use at least a size! At first the swelling was in my legs and they looked like tree trunks. I started elevating and that went away. Now I'm swelling in my belly.. boo! I was enjoying looking down at all that flatness. Boo to poofy!
I can't say that I'm too tough.. just didn't want to have to go through that hell more than once! I figured I'd do it all at once and get it over with. I was scared but I knew that if I didn't think about the pain.. just went in denial, that once I had it done I'd just have to deal with it.. no choice right?
And I was so wimpy about the pain I had to make them keep in me in the hospital on morphine and have people caring for me, even though I was supposed to go home the next day. I screamed and cried like a baby when they tried to send me home. LOL.
Hugs.. you are just stunning!
