Thanks!!!! I still had to run down the platform for the train 😂

On the metro

Happy Belated Birthday

Looking good!!!!

I think it’s hard to want to do more when you’re not struggling to lose weight. It’s also liberating to not worry so much. I completely understand because my motivation to exercise (anything more than basic stuff) plummeted because I was already happy with the results. Exercise is not necessarily most important factor to lose weight after WLS but it *may* make a difference in where you lose or maintain muscle tone.

We (me) need your recipes! 😍

Sorry this happened to you

Fantastic gift! Sounds like you’re going to have a lot of fun. I used to shoot Boudoir sessions and the best advice I can give is the more confident you feel in the setting, lingerie, shoes, hair, makeup etc. the more it translates to the photos As for wardrobe here are a few fuller coverage examples: https://www.victoriassecret.com/us/vs/sleepwear-and-lingerie-catalog/very-sexy-bombshell-add-2-cups-lace-teddy-1118392800?choice=54A2&genericId=11183928&recommendedProductType=trendingProducts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08T69V3CB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_2HN1GP5CK4FRHWZXW63D?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.savagex.com/shop/savage-not-sorry-lace-bodysuit-li2042934-0687-10726717?psrc=browse_lingerie https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XDHLNGF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_B48JKN950ERA6WXWHM5X?psc=1 https://us.laperla.com/balconette-bra-in-black-silk-satin-with-embroidered-tulle/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MQQMXMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_WS21PMBK2RJCVKKED9G7 https://www.macys.com/shop/product/dreamgirl-womens-sheer-halter-garter-dress-with-attached-garters-thigh-high-stockings?ID=11831316&CategoryID=256863&swatchColor=Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088BMNJS5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_0DZGDERQ6X9WN2AE4HBV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Normal in terms of food types or amounts? Or do you mean your permanent post WLS diet phase?

If food logging feels too hard, try keeping a visual food log (take photos) that show types, sizes and quantities of things you eat & drink. This maybe better than nothing especially if you need to consult your nutritionist. Good luck everyone ❤️

I love this look !

Joy and Confidence! You wear it well 😍

If you still love your current wardrobe perhaps a solution is investing in tailoring or learn to alter them yourself.

Congratulations in advance!

I’m all for medical tourism for plastics. I used to be into Miami but lately it seems too disorganized for my tastes. Just 1.5 years ago when I went I had a fantastic experience but it seems like delays and cancellations from COVID has taxed the way they (EVERY practice that is not private) are handling things. However Colombia, Medellin specifically, and DR (to a lesser extent)is fantastic and highly affordable. In Medellin the health care is high quality. I say go with someone that can consistently provide the “look” you’re going for.

I still wear mostly black but today I added a pop of color (mainly because I’m cold)

Congratulations in advance !

Another protein shake! I bet Starbucks will start offering something like it soon 🤔

Oh I still have a sweet tooth but there’s a fine line of just right vs too sweet and if I’m going to risk it all, it won’t be for a protein shake 🤣 I used to use premier as a creamer in coffee (amazing) but I gave up everything coffee almost 2 years ago 😩

I can’t handle the sweetness of premier anymore 😩

Novo Nordisk’s newest injectable drug Semaglutide (Wegovy) is now approved as a treatment option for obesity. It was previously approved and marketed (at lower doses) as Ozempic in 2019 for diabetes. Novo Nordisk is the same company that offers Saxenda (liraglutide). The CDC states 42.4% of all adults in the U.S. suffer from obesity, defined as having a body mass index at or above 30. A 2019 study in the New England journal of medicine predicts that 1 in 2 adults will be obese by 2030. This could be a step forward in fighting obesity because of the modality. According to Dr. Anastassios G. Pittas, chief of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism at Tufts Medical Center, “Semaglutide is a paradigm shift from other obesity medications, because it targets the gut as opposed to the brain." (Sounds familiar?) As with all new treatments the hurdles to access includes: steep price tags, insurance approvals, imbalanced clinical trail demographics, medical gatekeepers and lack of long term outcomes. sources: https://www.novonordisk-us.com/products/chronic-weight-management.html https://www.nejm.org/doi/pdf/10.1056/NEJMsa1909301 https://www.fiercepharma.com/pharma/novo-nordisk-s-semaglutide-snags-hotly-anticipated-greenlight-obesity https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/Health/newly-approved-drug-heralded-game-changer-growing-national/story%3fid=78065574 https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/novo-nordisk-semaglutide-gets-us-fda-approval-obesity-treatment-2021-06-04/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.detroitnews.com/amp/7549263002

Trying to fall in love with protein shakes again (It’s too hot to eat 🤣) It tasted like a Starbucks Frappuccino *not shown was 2 oz of water, 4 oz of almond milk & 4 oz of ice

Congratulations first off! You’ve done a lot so far, losing 125lbs is amazing. The early weeks are challenging especially if you are impatient (like me) and just want to instantly “arrive” (like me). Getting into a good groove takes time and It truly is a journey. My only bit of advice is that hydration is way more important than eating early on, so if you get a strong routine for that you’ll be good. After surgery, a lot of us become hyper focused on everything weightloss related. It won’t always feel like an “obsession”. I think that’s a short term issue until everything becomes habit and congratulations again!
