Non-scale victory!
I have to get mine resized. I'm scared they'll fall off god only knows where. That'd be an awfully expensive replacement!

5 oz of protein OR 10 cookies
My little cousins made sugar Cookies at Christmas. Frosted ones, my favorite. And my little 2 year old cousin was giving everyone a cookie. Well, I was eating my 2nd one of Christmas day and my mom called me out and that was that. But, looking back, it was scary how easily they went down.

Traditional New Year's Dinner
We do ham, black eyed peas, collards, and corn bread here in the south. I only care for collards, so never really been a new years dinner gal.

Tried cottage cheese for the first time - help me jazz it up
I'm a fan of peaches.

Birth control and weight gain
I'm hoping mine kicks back up. Could just be a normal stall. Hasn't set me back, but keeps progress at bay. Only been 3 weeks so we'll see. I definitely crave chocolate and other pms type food.

Sushi: Yay or Nay?
Yay for me. I get hand rolls with no rice, or just eat out the middle. Yummy.

All things cheese
I love cheese, and probably eat it daily.

Birth control and weight gain
I just got a Mirena about 2 weeks ago and I've been +/- 3 pounds since. No weight loss. 245-248 bouncing around.

Weight Gain
Who knows. I've gained and lost the same 3 pounds the last 2-3 weeks. I just keep on keepin' on.

What's for dinner?
I keep chicken breast tenders in marinade constantly for hubby to grill. Pork tenderloin is easy to toss in the oven. Crock pot soup/stew once a week leaves plenty of leftovers. Frozen turkey meatballs for when I'm really not feeling like cooking, I toss them in marinara and bake.

Need guidance transitioning out of LB jeans. Who is comparable?
I love Old Navy! They used to call it "Diva" now I think it's called "Curvy". I have wider hips and a smaller waist. Old Navy has several other cuts based on how your body is. But they're inexpensive, last forever, come in shorts and longs. And you can get them on sale for 12-15 dollars. Oh, I forgot the different denim. Usually 4ish shades. I love the super dark wash. Huge fan!!

Very minor annoyance
Lularoe - they have a size "TC" - tall and curvy. Fits size 12-24. They really do adjust with your body, so they've been great for me. Also, the Old Navy jeans sale. When you can get them for 12 or 15 bucks, I buy 2 pair in my next size. Thrift stores are great, but for 12 bucks I'd rather save my time. Tops are great at the Thrift store, and I stocked up with some stuff when Old Navy was 50% off. Camisole and such that are super tight now but will last.

Contraception (TMI for some)
I just got an IUD (Mirena) because the surgery sent my body into craziness BUT I have endometriosis so I am definitely an exception to the rule. But I have heard of people becoming extra fertile.

Where is Lipstick Lady when I need her?
The meatballs - this is a really frequent meal in our house. Frozen turkey meatballs, pop them in a pie dish or other shallow baking dish and marinara. Bake as directed (about 15 min). Top with more sauce (I'm a saucy girl) and add parm or mozzarella. Bake for another 5-7 minutes. So good, so easy. And just adjust the amount of meatballs to your family size.

Large bone structure? Not even close.
I am technically big boned. At 5'10 this isn't necessarily surprising. But big boned isn't how i became 130 pounds overweight.

How has your family changed since your WLS?
No kids yet, so it's easier. Everything used to be around Pasta. Now it's meat and a veggie. Either on the grill or in the crock pot. Other than that I don't make meals. I have greek yogurt and a p3 for Breakfast and snack, and my work has fresh Soups daily, salad bar, etc. They'll even make you sushi. So chicken salad and such is easily accessible. We save a ton of money not eating out 4 or 5 days a week.

Y'all! I just bought myself an Instant Pot!
Okay... so obviously this cooks food faster than a crock pot. Is that the only difference?

Excessive salivation / vomiting after eating
I still haven't had bread, 3 months out.

Need suggestions
I have to sit straight up and walk around fairly often when I'm at work. It helps get whatever trapped air there is out. Hiccups are my "oh no i ate too much" sign. Definitely have to get up and move when that happens - trying to get it to never happen!

Can RNY Pouches Get The Stomach Flu?
Of course, it's a virus. You may not have as much to throw up but you can absolutely get it.
