Yes! Absolutely!!!! TY for that thought!

It's all good. Just a small hiccup, that I probably went Drama Llama on. Ha! It happens! Oh, and back to 133.4lbs this morning. What a difference a week makes, right? Am I right? And I "ralked" (ran-walked at 3mph) this morning for 30 minutes.

I realize I'm in the minority here, but I used to have to take Flexeril + Narco 10/325's daily on schedule for chronic pain when I was MO. And no doubt I was hooked on them. During both surgeries for weight, I was givin a trilogy of drugs that work synergistically with each other: tramadol, tylenol, gabapentin. This combo worked great!!! I didn't stay on it long enough to get a dependence for gaba or the tramadol. But I loved it and felt it helped me heal much quicker without the added stress of opiods.

Some of my favorite no brainer foods that I could make and keep in the fridge: tuna, salmon, or chicken salad made with hard boiled egg and cultured low fat cottage cheese (replacing mayo) with a dab of Greek yogurt and dijon, some pickle juice or relish (which i could get out of mushie phase). chicken green bean "casserole"--I made up little microwave ramekins with the mixture. Just follow the green bean casserole recipe from Thanksgiving and cut quantities in quarter or half. Add a can or two of drained, flaked canned chicken. Then split up and cover. Nuke just before serving. Add a couple of the fried onion or fried garlics from salad toppers. Yum. I also made ground turkey and mushrooms and cubed zucchini or baby spinach, and would add a spoon of Heinz gravies from a jar (any kind--I like brown gravy best). I mostly just did fish, chicken, turkey, shrimp + veg + healthy fat. Super easy to cook your meat in small batches. 1 piece of chicken could last days in the early days. Then use frozen veg cuz easy to measure and weigh and they are mushier than fresh -- until you can tolerate texture better. Hope that helps.

Embrace the restriction hon. Look at this time as a challenge: How do you maximize deep nutrition and satisfy your protein requirements most fully while eating your very small portion limit? Once you know what a meal consists of then you know how many meals to eat per day in order to get your protein down. I was about 350-500 cals at your time and was able to get my 60-80g of protein in but little else. Today at 17months, I could theoretically eat 1 1/2-2 cups of food depending on what it is. So your tool will heal with time and it's natural and expected for you to increase your servings. So this is a golden time for you! Congrats! Maximize it!

Yes! Do you have the shoulder pain to go with it?

Yay!!!! Congrats girlie!!!

((hugs)) This is psychologically so hard -- even knowing logically that it's all IV and surgery related, seeing that scale bounce and feeling bloated from it, is just flat discouraging. WTG on liberating 3 of those pounds. Pee like a racehorse! hehe

It's delish isn't it. Try it in peach tea.

Love the accessory of the day!!!! And adorable figure. I agree, what puff and stuff? Congrats on your most excellent revision, on not whining, and on being such a trooper!!!

Dang woman! What a darlin' figure and great dress. Now you make me want to get to 117 so I can "have your smokin shape" lol!

So dang cute! Love your outfits!

Here's today's outfit.

Ok, here was yesterday's dress. I gotta say though, I feel great and thin in it, but it looks too big for me in the pics! And now I feel like I look frumpy in it a After seeing all y'all bangin' bods and adorable dresses!

In 9 months I want to be maintaining my Barbie DreamGirl Goal Weight of 125lbs. I want to have on an absolutely fabulous outfit, and have @Healthy_life2 bitchin' legs (all without working out... hehe), and be having a blast living life with Mr. F, fam and friends.

Dang! 2 weeks on clear liquids? ((hugs))

Water heater went out yesterday and day fell apart. Having it fixed right now, and will put the dress from yesterday back on and take a selfie for later!

Too darling! Are those the Old Navy Pixie pants? So cute!

Roflmao!!!! Yum!!! I love salmon Benedict sans buns!!! and I challenge u—r they bodacious nipples or very small egg breasts? LOL!!

Ok, last one. I swear.

WTG girl! Now I can't wait for Monday again. We're goin to the river this weekend, so I know it's pointless to start mine again, but I too have taken up a protein drink (full one) each day. So far since surgery last Thursday night I lost 7 of the 8lbs of fluid I gained from the IV. That's the quickest to lose that kind of weight in my life. So am hopeful!

Ok, got it, TY for sharing!!! Sounds awesome! So maybe 600ish cals and loads of protein and low carbs?

Can't wait till you are ready to call goal and post pics girl. You're rockin' it!
