DH got me five nighties...one more beautiful than the next. Won't try them on until these liposuction bruises go away, though :) .

Maximus, They also had them on Overstock.com.

Smoogy, I go for my first post op this morning and I believe I will be getting a therapeudic massage at that time. I'm scheduled for six of them. I'm ready too cause I'm a little more sore this morning as I suspected I would be. Thanks for your kind comments everyone.

You all are so sweet! Actually, this was a gift from DH. Not for Christmas, but just because he sees my frustration. He's the best! I am following doctors orders to the "T". DH is watching me like hawk also. And, let me tell you, this compression garment....UGH. Yes it is hideous but I...

Some of you may remember I mentioned I was having lipo on my hips, thighs, and buttocks. Well, yesterday was the day and I survived. I am so excited because I measured this morning and even though I'm still a bit swollen, my hips are down from 38 to 36. My thighs are still too swollen to...

I have two chow/shepherd mixes. Hillary was ten years old in September and Sophie we think is about three (they're both adopted). Just like people, they both have their own very different personalities. Sophie makes us laugh all the time. She's clumsy and gets herself in fixes all the time...

I live in Central Florida where it's hot and humid even when it's cool (if that makes sense). I wear an old one piece bathing suit. I spend good money on my shoes because I feel they're important. I could afford the stuff from KOS but I'd rather spend that money on other things. I don't...

It's about damn time!!!

Actually, wasting away has been the trend in Hollywood for as long as I can remember. Twiggy, Mia Farrow, Ali McGraw...remember them?

I knew you could do it!:-)

Futurefitnessdynamo, I also love psychology and I understand what you are saying about resentments building but Ashley seems to know here mind here. My specialty is mental health and I don't see this situation as a mental health issue. But I understand your comments regarding future...

Trevor, If you would have read through Ashley's post above: "I also agree w/the household responsibility thing b/c I've told him that we can't have children until he will at least do his share around the house (I feel like I've got a child already sometimes!!) I definitely think that he...

Ashley, the fact that you know you are not ready should be enough to postpone children. You know in your mind and heart that you will be the one to carry more of the burden of childraising than your DH. IMHO, if you do give in to his wishes, this may cause resentment down the road. Many...

I eat an egg Frittata for breakfast. Eggs beaten with a tbsp of water, S&P to taste. I add a few pieces of sweet red pepper. Spray fry pan with PAM, pour mixture and when bottom is cooked, put under the broiler until brown to finish. I make a big one on Sunday and then cut into...

RE: KathyH and Candi...regarding the Hi TerryMia, I've been taking Mircette for 5 years for symptoms relating to perimenopause. It is nothing more than a very low dose birth control pill. My perimenopause symptoms were severe. -Waking up several times a night. -Adult acne. -Anxiety...

Dani turned me on to Lucky Brand. They are pricey but I love them.

I am not and have never been anorexic, so I apologize if I suggested something that may be negative for you. I have, however, been a binge eater and had a "touch of bulemia" (if there is such a thing) when I was a bit younger. I don't feel like I'm restricting myself now. Heck, I even...

No. Doesn't sound crazy at all. And maybe you're thinking more like, "What if I try this and it doesn't work either...". Honestly, I had no idea that protein and good fats could make such a difference. I went on the South Beach Diet last October for a few weeks. This diet stresses good...

Kathryn, I beg to differ on "clean eating won't help with the firming part". When I started consuming cleaner foods and twice as much protein as I was eating before, I firmed up dramatically. Of course, everyone is different. Clean eating and more protein, less processed carbs made all...

Lori, I think it's wonderful that you have such compassion for this woman and I think the advice you've been given so far is very good. Just keep in mind that morbid obesity of this magnitude usually stems from more than just overeating and not exercising. It could be she is suffering from...
