Topic: RE: Todays Topic........Have you ever...been made fun of because of facial hair?
I remember getting picked on in middle school. I tried to always wear my hair down but one day I wore a ponytail and this mean boy said I had a beard. My facial hair on the sides of my face started early. After that, my mom took me to get laser treatment. I only got a couple treatments but it helps thin out the hair. Since then I've shaved. I think about one year post-op I'm going to go back to laser.

I started at 324lbs and a size 26.  After losing 100 lbs, I became pregnant with my first daughter, who was born in March 2011.  My second daughter was born in September 2013.  I have maintained a healthy lifestyle and now hover around 160lbs.  I would like to get back to the 140lbs before I became pregnant with my second daughter.  The sleeve literally gave me LIFE - two beautiful, healthy little girls.  My husband had his VSG with Dr. Marema on 10/1/2012 and is on his weight loss journey, currently down 90lbs.

Good luck girl! Just take it one day at a time - one hour at a time if need be - this is so hard. Try sugar-free gum to keep your mouth busy.

 Happy Friday!

We are going over my parents' house for brunch on Sunday.  We'll just spend the day together unless the hubby has any surprises.  :)

DH was saying how it's not so easy for him this year because he can't just buy me chocolate!  That was a sure way to my heart before surgery!  V-day doesn't seem like much compared to getting through Thanksgiving and Christmas.  It's just another time to refocus on what is important and not celebrate with food.  I find that my relationships are better since surgery because I actually concentrate on the company I'm with and not scarfing down the food.  lol.

Topic: RE: New to the group
Ooooh LOL! The arrogant people are thick on here! Thats what ny issue was on the main board. SOmeone actually emailed me, told me my doc was basically dumb because of what pills he had me taking! And that these people knew more because they have learned! The said things to me that scared me half to death! I almost didnt have the surgery due to the people who said those things!  There is nice people! Lots of them, I think they hide out in these small groups! The group under my state seems pretty nice! They have coffee meetings weekly in different areas. Try to join your state forum and see if they are friendly!
 We need support from those who understand, our spouses dont, they havent gone thru it, they dont understand our feelings!
 You have also found a good group here! A lot of nice people!

Well I am a pre op so not as drastic of a change yet.

Hubby, Kids and I will start the morning off in Church then who knows?  Normally for us because of the kiddos it's juat another day with a little extra.  Most likely will be cooking at home.

On track with diet well pre op as I said so yes but with a Lean Steak ( love Flat Iron)

It's different this year because No Papa Murphy's heart shaped pizza with the kiddos!

Valentine's Day usually doesn't get much attention from my hubby because my birthday is the day before,  I am used to that though.  He loves me everyday!

Happy Valentine's Day!

~what will you and your spouse/or significant other/or children be doing? Leo and i will be staying home watching a movie and relaxing
~How will you be staying on track with your diet? No candy this year :( and cooking a healthy dinner
~Will this v-day be any diffrent then others because you had wls/or are going to have wls? Yes this vday will be diffrent for us, because every year we usually go out and take pictures and then come home and make a big ol meal, steak, drinks, potatoe, salad, appatizers, disserts......this year will be none of that...Most likely something easy and simply i will just put in the crockpot but thats ok, he is fine with it and 100% supportive!!


i WISH everyone an amazing Valentines Day!!

Trip over love, you can get up.  Fall in love and you fall forever.  ~Author Unknown

Topic: RE: Todays Topic........Have you ever...been made fun of because of facial hair?
Hmm sugaring? Ive never heard of it but now Im curious. I hate waxing it hurts so much and I too stay red for a very long time... nothing like going to get waxed and then having to walk around with red swollen puffy skin. AHHH and the dreaded foot hair.... my husband tries to pluck it  LOL I hate it! Oh and the comment about the bead...that was classic. I think we as women just dont like to admit that we have faults but what we really dont realize is there are alot of others out there with the same situation and the same embarrasment. I love that Teresa does these topics because it allows for us to be open and talk about these things with eachother. Thank you all for being so kind already and I cant wait to start getting to know everyone... you have given me a little more hope about this site!!! HUGZ
