Hey Brad!

Welcome and congrats.

You know-all these things take time. New body, new life and ultimately new mind. I don't think our bodies change without our minds changing too! LOL! That is LOTS of change.

Just wanted to pop in and say hello. This board is absolutely warm and welcoming-and a good safe place to share as well.

Look forward to seeing you here!!

Peace,
T

You make laugh out loud.  You are such a bright light here.  We by nature don't ask for help.  That's the beauty of a forum.  When you need to know how to do something, just ask!  The great thing is that somebody will probably be able to help.
hugs, Y

Yvonne, my dear friend, I have warned you many a times about how strangely my mind works...
and at this stage of the game that isn't going to stop... 

It the way my Dad trained my brain... He was a huge Fan of RUBE GOLDBERG... one thing just leads to another...
never know where a simple train of thought will lead me - or how I got there!  all happens in an instant!

Well it keeps things interesting for my husband anyway..
Sometimes he just looks at me and shakes his head...

Katie, you are just adorable and the story about your girls was great.  Another one of the very important parts of our success is training the family what we are supposed to eat.  I so apologize if I'm repeating myself but I have a talk where I have a slide that says "Tuesdays and Sundays" and the story is that this pre-op tells her family all the things she's not supposed to eat and she's all excited and then her family catches her eating some of that stuff and she says "Well I went to support group and they said it was OK on Tuesdays and Sundays" because we will lie our butts off as addicts.  If you educate your family from the very beginning it makes it easier for everybody.

You know what's way cool?  To read something I wrote and know that it means something to someone else....like the trophy thing.  You guys are definitely the best part of the board for me and it so makes up for anything unkind that's been said elsewhere.  It's truly like a dream come true for me.  All I wanted was a place where everyone could feel safe and learn stuff from each other.  All of you make that possible and I'm so very grateful.

And Katie, about your friend and the trophy....just remind her that you love her and that's all you can do.  I so wish you the best on that one.  It's just difficult to adjust to a change of any friendship dynamics and eventually it will work out however it does.  The best part?  You're not going into it blind.  Because you understand you will have a far better chance at doing it as smoothly as possible.  You're a cutie Katie!
hugs, Y

Thank you JEllen, It has been a long but worthwhile trip down the road to better health. I went shopping again tonight to get some tops my mom wanted that were on sale..and wound up getting some more things for myself that were smaller then I thought I could wear! Its so much fun to shop now that I have to watch  myself that I don't buy too much. I did get some great sales though ..anywhoo..you are looking great btw..you need to get some pics with your head in them..lol..we want to see that pretty face of yours. Congrats on your weight loss...have you reached your goal yet? Keep up the awesome work. Thank you for knowing my girls are beautiful without seeing a picture of them

BIG HUGS
   
 Adore Yourself!!!

That is so awesome, I also met my husband when I had all the excess skin.  He told me I wasn't having this surgery for him, he fell in love with me and didn't see me the way I did !  Aren't they awesome men when they see you on the inside and not the outside !  I started dating him when I started having the Oral surgeries and he was by my side the whole time !  He was awesome, the dentist thought we were connected at the hip...LOL.  What lucky women we are !
