  1. Update! Not much has changed so just a quick pic, nearly 11 months post MMO Actually one thing is that I unintentionally tanned deeply during the summer months so ALL of my Incisions darkened, even my old lap scars. c'est la vie. I'm a Fitzpatrick IV/V skin type so par for the course It doesn't bother me & I'm not worried about it because they're well hidden underneath underwear but I will need to address it at some point either through scar revision or some other modality Plastics totally changed my silhouette so no big deal

    I haven't felt like using nice clothes because... bleh nowhere to go. But I couldn't resist buying this sweater dress because of the bell sleeves (and hem- not shown) This dress is an XL which is a little too loose in the bust , upper waist & arms perfect everywhere else!

    Plastic surgery is a total game changer when it comes to fixing very loose skin but you may not need it. Try to focus on the positive changes you'll experience from WLS and cross that bridge when you get there.
  4. Happy Surgery Day! Hope you're doing well ♥️
  5. I think as we all prepare for the possibility of second round lockdowns/quarantining this may happen ? https://www.instagram.com/p/CHOUQSTpxUT/?igshid=1bo3an7sx23fv
  6. Pasta in homemade Vodka sauce! None for me but it was well received. I used Barilla protein pasta because I thought it was more balanced
  7. This is crazy (good) elaborate! Can't wait to see what's next
  8. All great suggestions! I would suggest starting to document your progress (photos videos, vlogs, etc) so you can see/remember your progress down the line.
  9. Hi ?? Try as hard as you can to stick with the measured amounts and timed eating. (e.g. 1/4 cup of soft foods eaten over 15-30 mins) I know it's easier said than done when you're not used to it or even hungry, but it's really important so than you don't max out the capacity of your new stomach while it's healing or push foods through by overloading. Perhaps try to take slower bites or longer breaks between each bite. But also 4 ozs of softer foods tend to s l i d e down easier than 4ozs of solid proteins. Good Luck ♥️
  10. For everyone balling on a budget He focuses on keto but mostly on clean foods so perfect for people transitioning to post WLS lifestyle/diets
  11. You're not alone! The (current ?) love of my life could breathe the wrong way and instantly I'm annoyed.
  12. My kids are VERY thin but wear lots of layers so I only look the same size or smaller The girls are a good 40-50 lbs less than me, my son may be close to my weight but what's really concerning is they are or will be taller than me quite soon so we look like a group of friends ?
  13. I'd have to ask again but I believe it was the slowdown/ending of the "Honeymoon" phase
  14. Chicken Salad Wrap...boring but quick two servings so ~154 cals 17 g protein 8 net carbs P.S. - I'm not really watching cals/macros (I don't log every meal, just the lower carb ones so I can feel accomplished ??) I officially became 3 yrs post WLS this past weekend and all of the experts (my ??? PA) say to stay vigilant starting the 2nd -3rd year so I'm trying become more mindful but not obsessive Bonus pic: me and my fav people on the planet
  15. I also had a VSG converted to RNY to resolve GERD (and a few other issues)

    Everything looks spectacular, especially you! Congratulations on the win!!! So exciting ❤️
  17. Chicken Salad w Avocado Wrap Large serving because of the salad so this is two meals ~147 cal 16.5 g protein 4g net carb per half
  18. Oh my goodness this looks fantastic!
  19. Every time I am given Ringer's lactate solution (IV) I artificially gain weight (once 15lbs ?). But it goes away in a few days. Congratulation on your surgery!
