    L I G H T S got a reaction from kbellakat in What is that one thing you look forward to so much, post op?   
    This sounds so weird, but my absolute number one goal is to go to Walmart or Target- and be able to fit into their cute size 18 and below shorts. I see them everytime I go, and REALLY want to wear them. I guess that fits under the "go into any store and buy anything you see" category.

    I also want to be able to have the energy to do ANYTHING at ANY TIME of the day. Ahhh, a girl can dream.

    Does anyone else binge-watch cooking shows now, or is it just me?

    RIGHT? God I saw these cute shorts that had lace in the pockets and thought "one day." The back rack at Target is a joke. Maternity clothes ARE NOT FAT CLOTHES!! I need fat clothes. [emoji23]

    I ate my egg 1 day early, not gonna lie. However- I know where you're coming from. I'm closing my third week on Wednesday, and that's when I get to start shaved turkey, greek yogurt, soft fish, etc. I WANNA DO IT NOWWWWW- but I won't. There's a reason I was told to wait and I'm sure in hindsight I will be glad I did. Good luck- I'm rooting for ya!!!

    I totally understand. I'm pretty much the same way now. I just am having a hard time. Wanting to find someone local, but not sure how to do that. Everyone I find online that I manage to hit it off with is in another state and then they disappear after they see a picture of more than just my face. I'm so tired of trying anymore. Of course maybe that's the problem. Maybe we are trying to hard? It will come when the time is right?

    I made the jump from a few extra pounds to about average. I figure I'll let my pictures do the talking and not going to put off potential matches. My BMI is under 30 so I'm no longer obese. My BMI is almost the same as Lebron James and no one would label as a few extra pounds so I'm basically a shorter version of Lebron James.

    How old are you? I ask because I'm just a few weeks shy of 58 and men my age or older are just so damn happy to be getting some, the last thing they care about is some excess skin. If you are considerably younger, it might be more of an issue just based on youth and inexperience. (Their's, not yours)

    Can't speak for everyone, but mine went from 9" to 11+".
    Just kidding, I really haven't noticed much of a change, if any.

    BBQ arent even an issue.
    Grill shrimp, Salmon
    You can eat burgers and hot dogs
    Get a broccoli salad from the deli instead of potato salad.
    Just don't drink. Drink Water

    I really isn't hard you just have to take a hard line on it. If people try and push stuff on you just ask them if they love you enough to let you be great and lose the weight you want.

    I've posted this before somewhere, but mine is to wear my wedding ring again. Never had it resized for this very reason, for it to fit again. Can't wait. I have a zillion other reasons too, all for health mainly.

    Me three on the clothing. I have a bunch of cute stuff from smaller times that I really want to get back into. Plus I love vintage-inspired stuff which just looks better on a slimmer figure.
    I'm also looking forward to being back in shape. Five years/90 pounds ago I ran a half marathon and I'm dying to be that fit and active again!

    I usually start to get a pressure in my chest. Sometimes I deep breathe and feel it getting tight- that's when I know to either slow down or take my last bite. I don't weigh anything due to only being allowed one egg a day, however next week I get to start more Proteins.

    Once you eat, you will know your limit. I am only 3 weeks out so I am also experimenting. Good luck!

    I am officially 2 weeks post-op and today is the day I get my ONE egg! I have been patiently waiting for this moment. I made it soft-boiled, with a touch of salt and pepper. I'm about halfway done- and getting full. This is crazy! I remember when I could knock out a 4-egg omelette to myself!
    Next week I get to start yogurts, shaved turkey, soft fish, etc. For now? This egg is the bomb!! So tired of liquids
