I was sleeved 12/19; also starting fresh here due to surgery. Wouldn’t mind friends & a support network of people working with the same tool! Add me if you like.

Feel free to add me! I’m having VSG in about 2 weeks. Really wanting to find a support group.

Raising hand here!

Chocolate Covered Katie is where it's at - check out her blog. I made larabars today from her website; they're insanely delicious, although I must admit to adding a bit more coconut and chocolate than she does. Even so, I've got about 8 bars from the batch I made today and the calories as per MFP come out to about 160 per…

I keep hearing that today is steak & BJ day. I'd chase some chubby right now to get in on that action.

This is a great idea. Some of my MFP friends and I traded clothes. I sent my too-big stuff to a friend who was just shrinking into them, and another friend sent me stuff that she had just shrunk out of. Put the word out to your peeps!!

I just ordered an elliptical machine from Nordic Track that is iFit compatible; I'm glad to see this topic because I was also wondering if anyone had any experience with iFit. I'm getting it as an add-on simply because the dude offered me a 5-yr warranty and iFit bundle for $150-ish (normally their 3-yr warranty is $150)…

Meh, I'm no expert, but I'd say just make smart food choices for the remainder of the day, be conscious of your body and move it when you can (chase the kids around the living room!), and be more aware of your calorie intake tomorrow. I definitely wouldn't starve yourself for the rest of the day - I'd probably aim for some…

I named my kids Shaelen (pronounced SHAE-lenn, NOT shae-LEEN) and Griffin.

Ewww. No. Just, ew. No.

Oh, I thought this said 'boobs'. My bad.

My grandmother got me an acid-washed denim purse with fringe...and it was bedazzled. And I was, like, 30 at the time. Wretched. Once I dated someone who was notorious for giving bad gifts...she got me a beautiful Field Guide to Trees of the Pacific Northwest...but we live in New England. Another time she got me a DVD of a…

Bwahahahahaha. I love this thread. This happens to me kinda frequently. I haven't been managing it well. I try to really really get it in my head before listening to Floyd that I will NOT give in to any munchies cravings. That doesn't work so well sometimes. Not recently. The other thing that used to work really well for…

Please please please please please please let me join. Is there still room? I've been hoping a group like this would start up. THANK YOU! I'm ready for some *kitten*-whoopery.

I used to get told I looked like Janice Joplin - and there's even a pic of me on some bar's celebrity-lookalike wall holding a bottle of Southern Comfort or something like that. I was a good bit younger then, though.

BWAHAHAHAHA. Awesome. So awesome that I gasped. And then I gasped again. And a few more times.

Did anyone see the 'Fingerbang' episode of South Park? 'Cause now I'm singing it Skitty stylee in my head. "I wanna Skittybang-bang you into my life. Girl you like to Skittybang and that's all right."

OMG. I wanna hug you and your husband. *sniffles* Beautiful.

I agree. I remember being 5 and my school friend telling me that I was fat. I wish my parents had taken the time/energy to try to set my mind straight. That will probably stay with me forever.

Dude, you're TOTALLY adorable and awesome. *THWAP*

On the strip in Vegas. Once in a parking lot when I was blind-*kitten* drunk right before I applied for a job at a porn shop. I had pee down the leg of my jeans and they still offered me the job.

I had a friend who was an escort for a while. Didn't affect our friendship at all. She's one of my absolute besties & is now all grown up and married and about to have her first baby. :)

Really? REALLY? Hrmm. Sounds curious and possibly delicious. May have to try this.

I had ridiculously high cholesterol. Don't remember the exact numbers, but my bad cholesterol was around low 300s. In 4 months, I had knocked it down to about 140...my doctor freaked. And I did that only using diet/exercise...no medication. I don't know much about the magic of how cholesterol works, BUT I did start taking…

I tried to do it, got through the whole thing, and then it said I hadn't answered all of the questions...almost all of my answers were erased. I 'x'd out of the screen; sorry! But I am just not answering over 200 questions again.

I adore you. Smooches. Big, sloppy internet smooches coming your way.

BWAHAHAHA. This was brilliant. Almost made me drown while I was drinking water. Good work, sir.

Wait, wait, okay, here's a question for the folks who said they wax themselves...what type do you use? I tried it a couple of weeks ago with a home wax kit, and it didn't work great...my pink bits ended up all patchy and weird. I've been considering going to have it done professionally, but don't really have the loot to…

First of all: HILARIOUS. I like the way you rant. Second of all: Yeah, no one at work commented on my weight loss either. Then I found out, people were talking about it BEHIND my back, probably because of what prior posters said: it may be considered rude to comment on that. I dunno. But hey, DUDE, 27 pounds, BADASS.…

Thank you. THANK YOU! :) Good call. Nom. Holy crack, I want to cook this now. At my desk. At work. At 10:53 in the morning.
