Hey! Welcome Lou! So good to have another Brugge babe on board

You're not alone in your thoughts of thinking maybe you were supposed to be this big - I completely thought that I was meant to be and couldn't picture what I would look like skinny. But now at 142lbs I can't believe the changes I've been through - it's funny though it soon becomes 'normal' and many days I forget I've had the surgery (until I go to eat something I shouldn't that is).

You will do fab and its great that you've got your mum beside you for support! Would love to seem some stats ie age, weight height etc.

You lucky thing - you must be really excited by now - GOOD LUCK!

Hi Trinket

From the start I felt exactly as you described it in your first post but today I learned my lesson!!! I had my first major dump a couple of minutes ago.... classic symptoms soooo many times described on this forum and although it wasn't a nice experience all my doubts about whether this is going to work for me or not has vanished - the TOOL is well and alive and showing me who is Boss

and to top it all it wasn't even on something naughty

it was a chicken breast and I think I ate too quick and perhaps didn't chew well enough.....

YEE-HAH!!! My TOOL is working and I am glad

How are things with you?

Hugs

Hi Kimmie

It is soooo nice to hear from you and you are doing GREAT!!!

Love the avatar but again, just as with Clair, it doesn't do you justice - you are much prettier in real life and I can't imagine now - Pete is one lucky guy!!!

Good luck with your trip on Monday and say hi to Dr McDreamy - give him a kiss from me please

Hugs and kisses to you and Pete

Hi Pete

Lovely to hear from you too!!

Mick is on the board - he has sent me a PM and his handle is sirusman - he is doing well and I'm sure he'd like to hear from you!

I wish I could go with Kim and Lu-Lu to visit Dr D

I will say hi to Den and let us know how the reunion plans are coming along?

Warm Hugs

Dearest Lu-Lu

As it is Friday tomorrow and life in a Conveyancing office is extra hectic on Fridays and Den and I are going away for the weekend I wanted to wish you good luck for next Wednesday!!!

You're in the best hands in Europe and possibly in the World and I wish you all the best with this new lifestyle.

I believe that you'll do well and I can't wait to welcome you onto the Losers Bench - a space is kept for you between your Mom and I

Good Luck and Happy Healing

Hugs and kisses
