Man, some of you are dropping weight super fast! I've lost about 50 since surgery on 1/16, but on average that's nearly half a pound a day!

I have some on my Pinterest account. I believe my username is MystieMei.

I think I had a shot at 2 months and a martini at close to 3. And right into my calorie tracker they went.

So I want to get plastics in the future, at least an arm lift. Right now it looks like I have utters hanging from my upper and and, yeah, I know that skin's not going anywhere. Is self pay plastics just like other medical bills where you have to pay a bill for the surgeon, the hospital, and the anesthesiologist? Or is there an all inclusive fee?

I've only thrown up 2 or 3 times since being sleeved, and slimed a couple. Each time it seems to happen when I really have to poop and it's finally working its way out. So I wind up on the toilet with a bucket or bag. Does this happen to anyone else?

I'll probably try it out in in the Fall when I have a wedding to go to. Otherwise I don't want to blow that kinda cash. I can probably wrap myself in green tea and seran wrap on my own.

My friends have all been supportive, but the fat ones have been jealous as all heck. They fess to it, though. I've seen a lot of "competitions" appear since surgery, though. Friends returning to MFP after weeks of absence, new gym memberships, etc. It can go both ways, though. I have a friend that used to be a 16 and is now a size 5, and she's always going on about how she's training for some 5k or entering a race, going to do Tough Mudder, etc. She has yet to mention actually doing ANY of them. I'd love to beat her to the chase!

I usually just nuke 3 turkey sausage links or grab a protein bar.

I agree! My old one was kind of touchy, so right before my surgery I went on Amazon and ordered their highest rated, best selling scale. Soooo much more reliable!

Sounds odd. Did they put you on a body analyzer scale and actually see the breakdown of fat vs water vs fat free mass?

My friends say things like, "Seriously, you look amazing. I hate you, b***h." But totally in jest. I have one friend I know of, though, that I know will be a problem because she's going to get depressed about her own weight. But when I was in my 6 month classes they told me I can only control myself. I have to reflect back on that. I can only control me, it's up to them to change themself.

It's sad, though, that WLS is still considered "taboo."

I don't keep mine a secret, but I figure not everyone is fortunate enough to not have jerks in their life that are going to bring them down or act miserable towards them over it.

I still drink ice tea with caffeine. I tried drinking coffee and had such reflux it wasn't even worth it. But it was cafeteria coffee, which kinda sucks. Gonna try coffee again at some point.

I'm nearly 2 months out and thinking of sushi for lunch tomorrow. I've had rice no problem. And I don't have issues with taking big bites, either.

One of the girls I work with "accidentally" got pregnant at I believe 6 months out and is having a perfectly healthy pregnancy so far.

Cottage cheese and fruit. I like ricotta with a little cocoa powder and splenda, but I know some people aren't fond of the texture.

Yeah, gotta watch out for the carb Nazis.

Did you triple check the tag? So crazy! Someone told me I'm losing my boobs today. I wanna stay a D!!

I can eat pretty much everything I want. Some really bready things sit heavy in my sleeve. Otherwise the only thing that seems to make me sick is premade SlimFast shakes.

Today someone at work told me I'm losing my boobs. Wtf! Yeah, cuz my daughter is nearly 1 now and they're no longer filled with milk!! Ugh!!

I was sleeved 1/16 and I'm down 31lbs! Feeling pretty good about that! On regular foods and allowed to swallow pills again.
