Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 I know what you're saying, in fact I " should " be about 165, but I am already looking at my body and it looks like bones with stuff hanging off it. ( I'm 219, 5'10 " 0. My kids, not meaning to be cruel, the other day saw me in a sleeveless top and said " Hey Mom, just lift up your arms and you can FLYYYY!!!!! " . Not even talking about the money, but sometimes I wonder if I'm going to be like enstein's bride. My stomach is shot, my arms are gone, I can sling my breasts over my shoulders, my thighs look like a Basset Hound...where does it end. I used to be able to have sex lying on my back with my arms by my side so the breasts wouls look fuul, but even that is beyond me now.... they slide somewhere down into the mattress. Obviously, I have a bit of body-mind adjustment to go through. Why can't I just be 18 again!!!??? LOL Smiles, Vicki > >> Jac says : I can tell you, I look really thin at 140 (I'm 5'10) > Actually, people are starting to tell me I look ill.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 sigh for awhile after my plastics, i felt like frankstein, for sure. but then the scars faded and my attention immediately went to.......... not the fixed stuff, everything that was not fixed. LOL! typical woman thing, I think every now & then I pick up my bottom and think, hey, I'd look 16 (discounting the gray hair & wrinkles), if only was my butt was closer to my back than my knees. LOL! I was not going to do chest until one day, one floated out of my bathing suit in a public pool. sigh. i was wiling to live with cats walking on them in bed, or Don or I rolling over onto a pancake while asleep. But for one of those things to ESCAPE? Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 18 lbs worth of Sam usta like to sleep on my head. But his route to get there was up between the two of us. You know how they are. Their way or no way. If he had to leave during the night, he also came back via his route. Sometimes I'd get 18 lbs on one of his feet on one of my poor pancakes. He was an elderly gentleman. Gone now. Now I have JJ. He also sleeps on my head (am I wearing a sign that says I like trying to turn my head and cannot cuz the hair is stapled down?), but waits til I am facing inward, so he can get behind me. ??? He waits on the headboard til I am almost asleep and assumes his position and starts pushing me off the pillow. BUT Ray, he is 14. He must do his cruise, too. Up the outside of me, around my head, down between us, offering both of us the opportunity to sniff his kitty behind, down to the foot, back up and lays across Don's arm. And if we try to alter his program, he complains LOUDLY. There is no sleeping if Ray is not happy. Thank goodness he prefers to do this with the light on, rather than after we're asleep. Or whatever. Speaking of whatever, Priscilla (2.5) also got highly miffed that SHE was not the center of attention for some moments in which we were, shall we say, not kitty cat focused. So, she waited until the least desirable moment and nibbled Don's ear. Zoe doesn't come into the bedroom because, " that BOY " is in there. She hates JJ Who needs TV when you have cats? There is now way I could still had my chest running amok. Had to fix it to protect myself. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 *LOL* Why is it that cats need walk all over your belly when you come home from surgery? And of course they don't like it one bit when I slip the pillow over the tummy. I thought this was just something to do with the WLS but having just come home from my hysterectomy it happened again. I swear they have a game " Let's take turns standing on Meowmie's sore belly " . Phil is the worst and he is the 18 pounder. He has to walk around and decide what to do. He is also the one who has to " make biscuits " on my tummy or the boobs. I know he is in kitty nirvana then because he even drools when he purrs. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Oh, my gosh!! I thought that we had the only drooling cat in the universe! I have never heard of a cat who drools when you pet it before. Wonder if they are related? Mine is a California Siamese, yours?

You know how they are. Their way or no I am ROTFLMAO---- This is the best laughter I have had lately--- do you think that your cats and mine are related?????? Every detail you described happens in my house too, except I have one that sleeps on my chest and when my breathing (or is that a snore) gets too loud, she pickes up her paw and puts it on my mouth (covering my lips) and continues to do this till I wake up and shut up LOL and of course with the squishy belly they now take turns " making bread " on my tummy, and the darn things smile all the while too!!!
