You said it, sister. That blue lace Xmas dress was awesome on you. You have a great figure, be proud and loud! ❤️

What she said, LOL. I'll also add that if it's a day event, nude shoes (with nude hose) gives the impression of longer legs as well...

Yikes! Hoping you get some answers on Thurs (or at least something to alleviate the pain) I'm with Fluffy though, a week is long time to be suffering...if it gets too too much, I don't think you need to wait for a fever and barfing to to go ER... (But I get not wanting to go though, sometimes the wait in ER is worse than what you are going in for) 🤗

OH. MY. GOD. This is soooooo awesome. You totally NAILED all of those!!! ...I think you just invented my new favourite game... *rubs hands in anticipation*

Sophie I love this dress!!! You look so good in it! RE: hose colour I think would depend on shoe colour? Are you wearing the new shoes in question? Or another pair?

Where is the pain?

Our comfortable body temps up here are way lower than you Californ-eye-A folks. I would kill for some 60's (i.e 15C) temps. That's t-shirt and shorts weather 😁

I already planned to do some "lower"-carbing this week, though I may consider going ultra-low if I feel up to it

@Sammi_Katt: look at you, all happy-looking You are doing great, congrats!

Another short novel...My 2 Month Post Op Update: ** Man, sometimes if feels like its been more like 6 months... P.S. Re: Pictures: My surgeon will be taking pics of me at the 2 month follow up appt tomorrow, will see if I will post those, or take some myself...will decide later.

Wow, what a difference 70 lbs makes! Great job...keep it up!

Pic MISSiNG! Don't leave us hanging....

Awwwwww...I like you with glasses on ❤️

Um, I want your red "clothing item". Is it a top? Is it a dress? Can we see it with you standing up? Where did you get it?

OOOOhhhhhhh....I really really like this dress! It IS a little big on you, but your hotness still shines through Are you planning on replenishing you wardrobe soon??? (or are you still looking to drop weight?)

Yesterday Monday, Feb 17 Maintenance : 5'2" / 1.25 yr PO Sleeve / 117.1 lbs ---------------------------------------- I had a serious sugar meltdown yesterday (read: ice cream & cookies). I KNOW a big part of this is because I did not log as I ate yesterday...I stopped in the afternoon. Normally I would have a visual on MFP of how much I have eaten, and, more often than not, I would put that cookie or whatever away once I saw how much I already ate so far. I generally had the attitude of "whatever...I'm probably so far in the hole today, I'll just throw today out the window". Also I had several cookies before noon, and that probably set the tone for the day. Now, I logged everything I ate from memory this morning, and oh man, I really did throw everything out the window. Anyhoo...I'm dedicated to getting back to my anal logging self this morning, Onwards and upwards. ---------------------------------------- 9:00am - skinny tea latte + ¼ chocolate pistachio biscotti + 2 mini amaretti cookies 11:00am - salad greens w/ vinaigrette + carrot + cucumber + 3 oz roast beef + 1 tsp crunchy garlic chili oil 1:00pm - skinny tea latte + 2 mini amaretti cookies 4:00pm - salad greens w/ vinaigrette + 2 oz roast beef + 3 shrimp balls + 1 tsp crunchy garlic chili oil 6:00pm to 11:30pm - 4 low-carb bagel crackers + 2 tbsp pesto + 1 oz mozzarella salad greens w/ vinaigrette + carrots + 3 shrimp balls + 1 tsp chili oil + ½ fl oz pumpkin seeds 1.5 cups lemon sorbet + 1 fl oz pumpkin seeds ½ cup earl grey gelato + ¼ cup raspberry-lime sorbet + ½ fl oz pumpkin seeds 3.5 oz dried mangoes 1 KFC popcorn chicken nugget 1 cup tamarind broth + 1 cup broccoli + 2.5 oz pork loin ¼ Nestle Vanilla Caramel Drumstick --------------------------------------- Totals: 2961 cals - 96g Protein 305g NET carbs - 99g fat

It's definitely fluid. No way you can gain 5lbs or real fat in 2 days. I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but: drink more water, it'll help with the fluid retention. ❤️ Let us know now the appt goes!

RE: coffee/caffeine Doc/team is fine with me me drinking coffee, though did ask me to refrain for 1 month post op (which I did) Now I drink maybe 1-2 coffees and 1-2 teas a day. I don't drink any pop/soda (diet or not)...with the exception of club soda as a mixer in alcoholic drinks occasionally (though I don't think it has any caffeine in it anyway....?)

I do a variation of this type of reminder: I find an old "bigger-me" picture from my archives and then put on something similar in colour or style and make a before and after pic. Always manages to make me go "whoa".

Sending good vibes...❤️

Yep. $15 CAD!! I'm wearing size XS Here is the pic from the website and you can see the colour better.
