You are an inspiration!

Off to a lecture by an amazing theology professor, Scott Hahn. I've read lots of his books and I'm so excited to see him in person!

Just saw this on FB

Best wishes for a smooth surgery and a speedy recovery! You can have amazing results with either surgery, so don't let the change throw you for a loop! You will do great!

Not exactly weight-loss related, but it struck my funny bone hard!

Congrats on your surgery and your smooth recovery. It seems like you are doing well. This website has menus/food/recipes in the Food and Nutrition section of the forums. Also, these websites are helpful with menus/recipes labeled by the stage of food that you're eating: https://www.bariatriccookery.com/ https://www.bariatriceating.com/bariatric-recipes.html And an important tip: Not only do you not have to live on grilled chicken and broccoli forever, but grilled chicken will probably be one of the last proteins that you can comfortably eat! For many of us, it was many, many months before we could handle grilled chicken! Hope this helps and good luck on your journey!

I'll bet if that's what was available, Alice would have gotten into a LOT less trouble!

Size 12 Levis!!!! I know there are a lot of you who weigh more and are in smaller sizes but I'm thrilled!

Running errands. Sadly, no hourglass in sight 😔

I think most of your outfits make you look taller. The dress doesn't do that. It looks ok, but not flattering, imho.

Best wishes for an uneventful surgery and a smooth recovery! You're off on an amazing journey!

Fluffy is definitely your best source for this, although there are quite a few others on that thread who have had great success and I'm sure they would all be willing to lend a hand. I have only done IF experimentally a few times. Best of luck on your journey.

That is gorgeous! But, I've gotta ask - how big is your friggin' closet?

We have all found products that have helped us along our weight-loss journey. I thought it would be great to share some of our favorites. I am not a great fan of protein, but Perky Jerky has been my salvation! The meats are low-fat, low-carb, tender and flavorful. Some even come in convenient 1 oz. bags (for under $2) that you can throw in a purse or backpack. They're having a 4th of July sale and I just bought some and wanted to let the rest of you know about it.

Lookin' sharp!

Keep what you love! Ditch what you don't!

Yeah! Congrats! Onederful feeling!

Congrats! That's a major milestone! Wishing you continued success on your journey!

Congratulations, Mike! You're an inspiration! Wishing you continued success on your journey!
