      In the beginning, I was sure that I would go straight to malnutrition hell if I missed even a dose. Turns out, it takes several weeks to months to get yourself in any substantial trouble. My excellent labwork has proven to me that it's not just okay to skip (out of laziness or accidentally) your supplements, but it probably saves you a couple of bucks here and there. Mellow out is my new mantra. Go the best you can with hydration, protein, and your recommended supplements. Trying to live a stress-free life is infinitely more important than your supplements for any given day. (None of this little blabfest was intended for the lovely and ever-knowledgable GT.)

    10 months post op, 160s.

    Sick (first time since surgery) because I spent time around too many sick people recently, totally worth it.

    But now I'm wondering what flu season will be like 😓

    1. GreenTealael

      GreenTealael

      Not likely lol

    9 months post op and thanks to a birthday in July and using a bad scale at a doctors office I thought I lost and gained but there was literally no change , for a month. Lol. Welcome to the slow down. Now im Focusing on self image, because I'm still dealing with body dysmorphia. Just yesterday I bought a gorgeous bra set , non returnable, and it was too big. But I think I kinda knew it was too big , I just can't stop shopping for the old me. Anyone else do dumb sh#+ like this? Lol

      Oh, I decided against the rental sites. They're expensive for what you get IMO. Can't rent pants because they have to be tailored. And for dresses, I bought some in the $30-$50 range. So even that is more affordable than renting.

    3. GreenTealael

      GreenTealael

      Good to know those rental sites aren't worth it! I'm a minimalist so I only buy things I need ,love and goes with everything I already have so I don't buy much, and when I do get something it has to work for a while...

    4. sillykitty

      I'm also justifying buying more clothes than I absolutely need to at this point, because it makes me feel better about myself. Wearing fitted clothes and feeling attractive in them makes me legit happier.

    Absolutely refusing to buy new clothing these days. I love the wardobe I bought at 4 months post op & spent a small fortune also, so I'm tailoring everything to my new size...

    All of my AA women :

    What kind of hair loss are you experiencing?  When did it start and stop. Wanting to know what to expect.  I just had VSG surgery on November 7th and I have had locs for almost 20 years,  I love it it's my forever hair style so I don't want to lose them... 

    1. GreenTealael

      GreenTealael

      Thanks for the info,

      How much protein were you getting in at first / now?

      Please let me know if you notice any changes later on...

      I thought "what does alcoholism have to do with hair loss?"

      Fingers crossed that you keep your hair!

    Almost went to the Gym, decided not to.

    So i wanted to walk 1.5 miles through park and wooded area (begging to star in a slasher film?) to the pharmacy to get a prescription filled & the gym is only .25 miles more away but then it started to rain so I walked (a different route, I can learn...) 1.6 miles home.

    Then it hit me 

    walking in the real world is totally different than on a treadmill. So I'm good with my decision.

  18. GreenTealael

    Alright. No more adulting. Burned my nose, broke my espresso maker (officially), stubbed my toe, and cracked my phone screen all before 8am.

    Going back to bed.

      I'd definitely be done for the day! Back under the covers and Netflix for sure!

      At least you didn't break your nose and burn your espresso maker.

    Anyone attempting the vegetarian / vegan lifestyle after WLS? I was a vegetarian prior but started eating poultry to meet my NUT planned diet (high protein low carb low fat )

    But now I am longing to  return to the life style. 

    Any tips? 

    1. Berry78

      Berry78

      Vegetarian isn't too hard since you can have whey protein shakes, eggs, dairy. Veganism is much harder since the vegan-friendly shakes are less palatable and you have to be extra cautious about getting complete proteins.

      There is a specific forum here:

    Anyone else having breakouts from biotin? Trying to stick it out but its my face...

  21. GreenTealael

    Anyone ever tried protein pancakes (the kind that just needs water added)? Bought the mix and im afraid to be disappointed...

    1. GreenTealael

      GreenTealael

    2. Newme17

      Newme17

      Lol. On your birthday!? I’d say regular pancakes instead but definitely not promoting them! Ha! I hope they’re good when you do try them!

    3. GreenTealael

    At my Primary Physician appt, the Doc said you know you lost a whole person. When you started seeing me you were 265lbs now you're 148lbs.

    She's right... I lost the fun me 😂 Joking Joking Joking. It's amazing who keeps track when you don't like insurance and browsers feeds

    Bought fleece lined tights today. I really need fur lined pants...

    1. FluffyChix

      FluffyChix

      See. I read this ^^^ as, "I'm a Call girl..." and I'm like, well, I bet plenty of call girls would appreciate the thermal effect of fleece lined tights. :D

      Here you go! Trying to wrap my head around these, btw, but in Houston Texas, there are about 2 weeks in February when I would possibly need them. :D
