Yes my arms a lot smaller than they were and than i would have predicted they would have been ever been... so are the twins ๐ณ And on the protein front... I know i can just get it done if i have to. its not like I'm malnourished in the least i just want to explore my non protein options sometimes But who am i kidding i eat my weight in yogurt so im likely covered ๐ -
The amount of excess skin you will have will depend on a lot of variables. There is no guarantee it will be enough to warrant surgery.

Bloom them aforehand, no problems. Check with your team to be certain.

Hi! I agree with @FluffyChix no need for it this early in the game. Consult your team and they will likely tell you the same. But keep us in mind for *if *you need a hack later down the line! Congratulations on a successful surgery to dateโค -
Hi everyone! Updates ๐ Currently (today anyway) 154.6 but I have been bouncing around due to eating less fun foods for challenges and then more near my menstrual cycle. Balance is key right? My food choices remain the same. On the go I can count on very little outdoor foods so I pick the same things- yogurt, salad, halal chicken or tenders, West Indies foods (beef/chicken/vegetable patty) , etc... (Recently tried beef chili from Sonic will not again) But I try to keep it tight and justifiable aka walking meal lol ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ I gave up protein cookies for good, hooray๐ they were a lazy and calorie costly substitute so I realized didn't need them. I have starting experimenting with homemade protein waffles and gluten free baked goods. Amazing. I prefer the waffles, less work and almost entirely protein. So they can stay. Tea, coffee, water on repeat as usual. Intermittent Fasting continues getting even stricter this month forward... I bought my first bikini (not pictured) because Summer's coming ๐๐๐๐ Everything else is pretty much consistent, I love consistency lol. Still a very good choice. I would totally do it again. But y'all already know that ๐

Getting cold feet...
GreenTealael replied to MichellePDX's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree with everyone, its a not the easiest choice to jump right into. You will know if its right for you the further into the process you get. The choice is ultimately yours alone. Best of luck on whatever you choose. But consider the reasons you got this far in the process to begin with. Its a slow process for most & usually backing out means starting the process all over again. If you need more time to think speak with your team to see if you can postpone the surgery for a further date instead of cancelling all together. We support you โค -
Congrats ๐

Ok I've been experimenting for a while with the recipe and im ready to share Strawberry or Cacao Strawberry Protein Waffles or maybe even cake at this point... 8-10 scoops of whey protein powder 1 egg 2 tsps of baking powder 1 tsp of oil 2-3 ozs of water (just until batter is pancake batter consistency) Sugar substitute of your choice (to taste) * 2-4 tsps of cacao powder for cacao version *1-2 tsps of xanthan gum (for cake like products) Blend all ingredients together on high until smooth, adding baking powder and xantham gum last. I could see this easily working for cup cakes, cake pops, donut molds etc... Anything that bakes quickly Let me know that you think! -
A lot of people try this. If you run a search on the site you will find endless threads created about it. I did not attempt this. I also transitioned for a while to heathier versions of foods to prep for surgery. Congrats you're in the home stretch now ๐

For these waffles I used this brand that I found at Walmart. It had the fewest most natural ingredients I could find but it was still a whey protein isolate. And its labelled kosher ๐ -
UP(DATES) ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ Week by week dates with Bumble Guy are getting better. I am thoroughly surprised. We just had a museum date. Museum hoping is one of my favourite things in the world. Can't believe that we turned a corner so hard & fast and are no longer in an awkward place. Just wow. I'm definitely boo'd up ๐ How is everyone else doing?

Thank you!!!!! These have become my White Whale lol I finally perfected something with protein powder that isnt disgustingly dry or flavored๐ -
I'll go first because I want to be completely honest: I can't handle it well at all. I would throw a tantrum if still allow but my face does it for me. I need a good 5 mins of solitary space to process then at least an hour to come to grips with the new world created by the circumstances. I recognized this about 20 yrs ago. Accepting my process and working it made it easier for me to move past whatever the challenge presented was, but I need what I need or the turnout is no good.
