    Funny the belt is really an updated version of a Fanny pack. I hate carrying bags these days and thought it would be a nice change. Thank you for the purple light info, I’m going to ask if that’s the reason next time I see it.

    Too bad about the white jeans they fit really nicely. Are you searching for new a new pair? I envy anyone that can wear white bottoms carefree. I always think I can but quickly change my mind when I think of all the spilled drinks and pasta (I don’t even eat pasta 😂)

    Here’s my “back to black” dress but on a date night. The bar’s bathroom lounge was neon purple (is this common?) so I added a muted version of the pic and the original. I feel like I generally look better in wall sized mirrors. Anyone else?

    Achieving your goals and rewarding yourself

    I like @kristieshannon also rewarded myself with plastic surgery. It was the icing on the WLS journey cake for me.

    😂 I’ve stopped writing longer post a while ago, soon I’ll stop writing all together I like your response more. ❤️

    Sometimes the truth hurts

    The usual reaction would be to help people in the way you are able. Hopefully a large enough cross section of comments would lead someone to the answer they are looking for. But sometimes you have to choose between giving people the help they request (I need a solution vs I just need comfort) or just not responding at all.

  14. My friend, as charismatic as Dr. Vong maybe, he is not your surgeon so please go by the recommendations of your team. Now that the disclaimer is out of the way, there is *some* truth to it. Ask your team about their take on it but most of the weight loss will occur because of dietary, hormonal and metabolic changes. Very little will happen because of the gym (early on). Only a humble guess but perhaps that’s why most Bariatric teams include a nutritionist and not a fitness instructor. My advice is to focus on what is emphasized most on your personal plan. Maybe your team wants to include exercise for flexibility, bone and muscle health, etc.

    Salads for lunch and dinner tonight because I can’t even imagine cooking lately. Also I made a ginger peanut dressing that was really good but no one wanted it 😑 I had the chicken nugget version, vegetarians got the hash brown version.

    So cool!!!

    This is right up my alley! I loved reading my post operative notes.

    I was a vegetarian for a LONG time so I’m used to substitutes. These subs are definitely upgrades to the old fake meats. They are even using beets for color and iron for flavor in some. I never really eat anything straight (that I haven’t seasoned while cooking) but I think the taste (and to a lesser extent texture) of these new burgers are close enough to make you question if it’s genuine meat or not.

    It has been unseasonably cold so, sweater knit dress. This is a size small. I do not wear a size small BUT it’s a heavy rib knit with great cross grain stretch so any other size may have been too big. Side note: I think I’ve finally come to the conclusion that I have a short torso. (Also maybe I need to clean my mirror 🧐😂)
