@@Jonathan Blue@largeininc@scstxrn. You guys gave good advise. My sweet monster just started kicking in for me last month during my TOM phase. It came out of no where. Thx to Jonathan, I created a pineapple and coconut sorbet and it is sooooo delish. Trying to find healthy sweet treats is a job. Gettign back on track is the important thing to do. Stop what you are doing and get back in the game. I hope that you will bunsy. Later Losers!

I have veins you guys! Can you believe that? All I see now on my hands are veins. My belt that I purchased a million years ago when I lost weight and went down to 275 has extra holes tha tI made. Well, I have to make more holes now. That belt was from Lane Bryant and was for a size 26. I am also pass that 275 weight loss from before, WOOT WOOT! I am able to cross my legs better now. I don't know my exact size but I do have a few XL shirts that I can fit. I am too scared to go to the store to try clothes on because I don't want to be disappointed. The very best NSV is that I am happy with the face that I see in the mirror now. I hope that everyone will achieve there goals and continue to lead a healthy lifestyle. Later Losers!

Going pretty good over here. Because I can drink more water a little faster now, I upped my into to 72 ounces per day. I use my pitcher from the hospital and drink like 4 of those per day. I am running to the bathroom like crazy and I noticed that my tummy and other parts of my body are changing, YAY for aqua! Trying to keep up with my proteins, and vitamins. I found our that Aurora(sleeve) does not like bananas. It was not a good experience at all and I am not willing to try again until like neveruary, lol. I haven't exercised in like a week, smh, and I am hating that. I miss it and need to get back on track with that. I can fit some XL shirts as long shirts and I am too scared to go try on new clothes. I am afraid of the disappointment of not fitting into something. I definitely don't want to embarrass myself. Okay, just my thoughts for the day. Later Losers!

August post op sleevers: Check in
motherof5 replied to motherof5's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Just checking in. Still striving with the sleeve. I found out the hard way that my tummy does not like bananas. I felt like my pouch was going to explode. I had to drink ginger tea. I am 10 pounds from a total 100 pounds loss from my highest weight. 50 pounds from my surgery.I don't even know how to register this. It's unbelievable. Still have a long road ahead of me.I did have a confrontation with cake and lost. Cake is my enemy,it's no secret over here. No more cake is coming in this house. I am back on track today. I hope that everyone is doing well and keep pushing. If you fall,get up and start again. Later Losers! -
At last, you are on the losers bench. Glad things are well. Later Loser!

Good for you kindle. Did they wipe the drool off the display afterwards lol. I had a battle with cake the other day.

I'm not mourning food anymore
motherof5 replied to IcanMakeit's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
The thing is with me is that I am addicted to the food porn more after weight loss. I am always on Pinterest pinning. But for the most part, ir is for healthier foods with lots of bold flavors. Majority of the recipes I do not cook at all. I have learned how to make healthier versions of the things I used to eat. I even made cauliflower crust pepperoni pizzas.I have yet to try them and they are in the freezer with the rest of my experiments lol.This is a new habit that I need to kick. Later losers! -

No! Not the booty!
motherof5 replied to iamblessed1225's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Yep, at 4 months out my booty is gone. I started doing squats. I am happy though lol. -
I just made banana ice cream and it is delish. Take frozen banana slices,Greek yogurt, peanut butter and sweetener of choice and blend it. You can add some nuts afterwards. I placed it in the freezer and done. Tastes like ice cream. I am going to use pineapples tomorrow to make sorbet for myself . It worked well with my nutribullet.

African American vsgers!
motherof5 replied to theshrinkingdutchess's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I always had a problem with the top of my head being shorter. I don't know if it is due to genetics or what. I noticed today that it is a little shorter. I just started taking 10,000 mcg of biotin like 7 days ago. With the proper care of eating and moisturizing my hair correctly ,I hope it will start to grow. -

The ablility to really feel the hugs from my family. I mean, I can wrap my arms around them. The ability to go from the basement to the second floor without falling out. The ability to bend without pain and to get off the floor without any assistance. I get up at 430 am now to work out and stay up until 9 pm. I have so much energy now, it's amazing. I went grocery shopping the other morning around 8. I was in there for like 2 hours and then came home to put the food away. I was on my feet until 12 and I was not in pain. I was still runnng around the house doing stuff. Before surgery I could not stand longer than 30 minutes without being in pain. If the scale does not move, I will not fret. These non scale victories are awesome and I am able to enjoy my life. I can also fit some XL shirts now, YES!

Thx Grammy for the cheering section! Today I am 88 pounds down. My new goal is to lose 12 pounds to make that an even 100 pounds lose. No time period involved. It's just a mini goal for myself,even if it takes a year. I will still be proud and thankful for that loss.

Where are your incisions?
motherof5 replied to Kindle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You healed well Kindle. I would love to have a tummy like that when I reach my goal weight, not happening lol. I did have one incision above my navel area. The biggest one is on my right side and the other 3 are on the left. One is under my bra lin and I had to keep that covered because of the bra.
