Very impressive less than a week after emergency surgery! I’d use every excuse to live in leggings & sundresses ?

I tried to bring GT back some glacier, but it didn’t make it! ?

Not necessarily weight loss related New shoes ?

I'm 17 months out, and I feel way better than normal. I had clearly forgotten what it felt like to be a healthy weight, and I definitely didn't appreciate it back in my 20's. I seriously feel joyful so much of the time. I can feel mildly nauseous, if I eat too much too fast, but it passes quickly. I have had a few quite mild dumping-esque incidents, unusual for a sleever, but nearly all liquid sugar related (no more vietnamese coffee for me ) I have vomited twice since surgery, both times from vitamins on an empty stomach. I've always been sensitive to pills, same thing would have happened pre WLS. I have an iron sleeve, almost nothing bothers it.

3 ... definitely 3 ?

@FluffyChix so sorry you have had to go through this! But I'm glad to see you have retained your sense of humor and positive attitude!

On vacay, so I missed this Although I’m non carb phobic, I do agree, the more carbs I eat and the more I eat in general, the more hungry I am. Like physical hunger, not just head hunger. I’m fine with it at this point. I need to eat the calories in order to maintain. I’ll pull back when the scale starts creeping up.

Current fave work shoes, simple black pumps

Me too! If I find something I like, I always buy multiples. I don’t think that is normal though! ?

Agree with this. Even in maintenance my weight can swing 3 lbs from day to day. I don’t worry about it unless I start to have a gain that sticks.

I have an iron sleeve for the most part. But drinking while or shortly after eating makes me feel anywhere from uncomfortable to ill. I’d try to stop drinking after eating and see if that helps.

Very typical. If you search this forum you will find lots of threads about it

Falafel would be perfect for the airfryer!

Both a shoe and purse addict ... favorite shoe, too hard to chose! I probably have about 60 pairs?!? Addiction pic, this is the tip of the handbag iceberg ?

Same place as now, healthy & happy!

5 - Freedom Freedom from all the excess weight has allowed me to enjoy my last few vacations to the fullest. This last vacation I was able to zipline in the most amazing place, and not worry I was close to the upper weight limit. I was able to horseback ride without feeling like I was killing the poor horse. Not being self conscience of my weight just lifted this burden I didn't fully know I was carrying.

Back from vacation Weigh held steady. I was actually expecting to drop a bit with all the extra walking, but drinking everyday probably counteracted that. ? I need to start doing some of the arm challenges!

I can only answer for myself, but my arms look older than I really am because if the saggy skin. It’s the bad skinny fat look ?. If my muscles were larger, I think it would greatly improve their appearance. Now I just have to do something about it, which is harder than whine about it ?

I fantasize all the time about laying on this beach again. Especially on days that work sucks ? The Crane -Barbados

I think I was more dysmorphic pre WLS. I felt much thinner/attractive than I was. I hated pics of myself because they ruined my delusions Now I think I look much closer to how I have always thought I did. But on the other hand I’m pretty deeply unhappy with my naked self, but think that’s reality vs dysmorphia
