To the OP, I have just recently had a little PS in Tijuana Mexico. I totally experienced standing naked getting your pictures taken, it was the worst feeling ever. Luckily the lady taking the shots was very professional and did not make it seem out of the ordinary for her. I too need to get more surgery, butt lift/thigh lift and my surgeon said that I don't have much fat left on my body! Well can you imagine, I am 5'10" but still weigh 190 pounds. I do see the thinness in me though the breast bone sticking out, concave stomach. He said not to lose more weight as I need the fat to move it into my flat butt. So goal weights are very different, if I stay at this weight I will be overweight according to BMI. I think that I am okay with this. It is all about how we look and feel afterall.

Thank you for posting your pics you look fantastic. I have the same questions as VSGBrandy if you don't mind saying.

careful eating too much this early out. Your stomach is not healed yet and the nerves are not back to 100%. Keep measuring!

Sounds delicious!!

None.

How much is half a bowl? You need to make sure that you always measure out your portion of food; 2-3 ounces of mashed potato and eat slowly. This will alleviate the problem of you eating half a bowl. Good Luck

sugar free jams are very sweet if you are looking for that sweet to be satisfied. Careful with the ones with any seeds in them. Add it to yogurt or cottage cheese, very satisfying.

Not sure how you can put a price on your health.

OMG this is too funny!! Yes I agree it stands for "womens".

Sounds delish. I may also roll my balls in a high protein crushed nut!!

Looks great to me enjoy!!

that sounds like a good deal for all. I had an arm lift quote for 1800.00 thigh lift for 2000.00 lower body lift 5000.00.

You are losing at a fantastic pace for you!! Don't worry about what anyone else is doing. You will lose the weight, at YOUR pace. Congrats on your weight loss so far, it is phenomenal!!

Congratulations on your decision Kati, you won't regret it!! You day will be here before you know it. Relax and enjoy the ride!!

Sounds like you have a good handle on it. As another poster said the most difficult time will be liquid, pureed, mushy. Try to order things you can eat: soup, mashed potatoes, a dip. These might not be the best choices but if you have to go to dinner with them you have to order something. Most times no one will say anything if you have food in front of you. Push the food around your plate, if it comes with a meat cut it up, make like you ARE eating it. You can always have a shake in your room. Best wishes in Mexico!!

Here is the answer to pages of BS....................................hmmm You have NO idea how it is to be FAT then?

Go to goodwill, salvation army, try on some clothes that fit and buy them.

As others have said asparagus is very fibrous. You are 8 weeks out, if you tolerate many foods well then give a little a try.

I had three leaks tests in Mexico: one during the surgery one drink a little blue water and see if it comes out in your drain one clear liquid swallow where you can see the liquid go through your system into your intestines very cool. If you have a leak I am sure they then fix it.

Welcome to "ONEDERLAND"!!!!!!

Do I see collarbones? Congratulations!!

Unfortunately you will like food again. Take this precious time to lose as much weight as you can so when weight loss slows and your liking for food comes back you will be close to your goal weight.

Wow I only can wish that I will lose too much! Easy answer to stop losing, eat more high calorie food, easy!!

Look the berries are an absolute no-no the tiny seeds would get stuck in your sleeve, ask your doctor for guidance. What do you mean powdery tasting? Add one scoop powder, the liquid of your choice and any flavouring that you like(just watch your quantity). As I am sure you have heard your tastes will change after surgery, you may like the shakes.

You can't have the fruit in the beginning. Yes it does sound like it is two portions; two scoops of protein powder? I am sure if you remove the fruit the carbs wont be so high either, 37 wow too high. My protein powder has 2 grams per scoop. I make my shakes with protein powder(any flavour), soy milk(one cup) it has high protein and a flavouring of my choice for that day.
