A water bottle!

Taking Off Work?
I was off 6 days. It was do-able with no lifting, but the tiredness is REAL. Your body needs to recover.
-
Best foods to introduce first?
Solids or soft pureed on your plan? I started with Tilipia. Did fine with 2 oz. Solids don't seem to take as much as the purees to hit the satisfied point.

Having trouble on soft protein stage
I ate chicken salad almost every day at that stage. Canned chicken breast makes it super easy to make also.

I went protein crazy!
Syntrax Nectars! I liked the Isopure over ice, and really liked the Syntrax Nectars mixed with Water and over ice. I still keep a container of Cappuccino for the random mornings I drink a Protein instead of having some Breakfast.

Nail polish/Acrylic nails
I kept nails on, I was told I could with a french manicure. I took my toenail polish off.

How much loss during your first month?
19

I need full liquid suggestions please!
Egg drop soup! Strain or puree, it was heavenly. Felt like a "real food" treat.

Finally a real before and after picture
You look fabulous! Very inspirational.

Isopure zero carb flavours
The Peach Mango flavor is the absolute worst in my opinion. Most of the others are good to tolerable for me. With 40 g Protein per bottle, they are also good if you mix half and half with Water and add some Mio or Crystal Light in a flavor that you like. That also lets you split the bottle into two servings of 20g protein and helps with fluids.

When will I stop regretting this surgery?
The regret should pass as you heal and are able to get more fluids and foods down. I hope this happens soon for you. Like most of us (once fully healed) I only regret not doing it sooner!

This can not be correct! (Bra talk)
Wow... that says I need a 36 I, lol. No way. I was 35 in on the band and 44 in around the bust, but I have always worn a D or DD depending on my weight. The one I am wearing now fits like a dream and is a DD, I imagine they would just drip to the bottom of an H or I cupsize and leave the top full of air ; ) I also have to bend over and pour them into the bra... I see a breast lift in my future dreams.

Any juice protein drink suggestions?
Syntrax Nectars. The fruity flavors mix easily in Water with no clumping. Mixed with water it has 100 calories, 0 carbs, and 24 g of whey isolate Protein.

Look! I can wear bright colors!
I love the top, and it looks great on you!

Vacation season...What are your plans?
Anything with water! Cruise with hubby, neice and nephew in June. Planning an all girl trip to camp out and float a river in June also. We are spoiled girls, so will take a camper or get a room... have to have AC and toilet, lol! Hubby and I will most likely also take a trip to New Braunfels to go tubing or rafting, we do every summer! Will be so much more fun at this size!!!
