Thank you!!! [emoji1]. I just did lipo to the thighs. I may want/need a thigh lift someday, but she really just wanted to debulk my thighs so they remain proportionate with the body lift. Super happy with how just the lipo alone looks!!'

Way to go!! You're going in the right direction [emoji106].

Prior to surgery I had severe reflux, I stopped taking my pills also very soon after surgery. Once in awhile I get reflux and pop a pill and then I'm fine. Don't eat for 2 hrs before bedtime - that helps.
Good luck!

Wow!!! Thanks for the motivation! You look great!

Thanks for the encouragement!! You look great! I love that this isn't a "diet" for you and you listen to your body- I need to remember that.

Congrats! Looking good!

I am just starting this journey and am finding my desire and excitmemt to be sleeved, growing each day. I am also finding that a lot of my relationship with food is incredibly mental. The first week after my initial Kaiser orentation my emotions swung like a pendulum at the thought of losing essentially my "best friend". So to combat morning the loss of food, I have decided to start a "Skinny List," a bucket list to fulfil missed opportunities. Mainly all of the things I haven't been able to do because of my weight or chose not to do because I was afraid of others judgement.
I am just curious if any others have a Skinny List, and what adventures are on it!?





~My Skinny List~
Buy a Bathing Suit without a skirt/shorts
Wear said bathing suit to the beach
Take a cruise
Indoor skydiving
Trampoline Park
"Run" a 5k
Ride in a Hot Air Balloon
Go to a spa

Scuba Diving
Segway Tour
Ice Skating
Wear leggings
Wear a sports bra
Wear Skinny Jeans
Wear Shorts
Shop anywhere other than LB or Torrid
Do Pushups
Not be the fat friend
Fit in a booth
Have a date on New Years
Have a Valentine
Ride a non-disney roller coaster
Not have to use a seat belt extender on a plane
Love myself

Way to go!!

Great job! Thanks for the motivation!

Wow! You look great!!

I started making egg muffins for Breakfast in a muffin pan. I change it up each week - turkey pepperoni/cheese and I throw in red peppers, ham/cheese, beef/cheese, etc. you can freeze them or they last the week in the fridge. I usually eat it as a mid- morning snack, my shake is my breakfast.

My NUT also said the Protein Cereal w/fairlife milk is a good bkfst also if you're a cereal person. Good luck! Look up - theworldaccordingtoeggface- she has a ton of great ideas
Search Pinterest- lots of great ideas there too.

I'm at a stall also - I'm trying to track my food and increase my exercise. I feel 200% better now from where I started. I tell myself if this is the weight I end up (surgery date-12/21-down 50lbs-at 165 now) it's okay because I'm taking care of me and I feel good.
You look great! Keep up the great work!!

Good job!!

Congrats!!! Totally. It silly- you're doing it!!!!

Apparently there's a 3 week stall. Just keep doing the Protein and you'll see movement on the scale. I was shocked that I hit a plateau with as little as I was eating- and exercising - but it's normal.

I was sleeved at RWJ 12/21

Mary,
If you have this surgery, why would you have it?
I had it b/c I've lost the same 70 lbs about 4-6x's. Since the surgery I'm off my cholesterol meds and my diabetes meds. I had no energy to do anything before the surgery and now I go to the gym 3-4x's a week and feel good about it. I love that I'm fitting into normal- sized clothing and feel good about myself.
No, you will never be able to eat the same way again but you will be able to eat the foods you like/love- just not the same quantity.

Good luck with your decision!
