Today's first salad of the day, I put it in the new salad bowl Mr. got me and it looks especially delicious, no? It's like an OOTD for salad, LOL. Salad greens + vinaigrette + cucumber + carrots + grapes + 2.5 oz chicken. Ate it all. 155 calories.

😉

Weird, this is the second marijuana-related thread I've come across just today, LOL. Anyway, I've used CBD oil for sleep and/or relaxation once in while...maybe like once a month, or every two months, so not very often. Seems to work fine for me...no high, no hunger, no stomach issues.

@jayali: what kind of surgery did you have? Also, another poster ( @Arabesque ) was asking about "stomach stretching" on another thread...just linking her up to this thread as an FYI...

I like this one.

Too much sugar

#myHero !!! I have a mental block with 10km (6.21 miles), my body is like "I'm DONE".

It's funny because I seem not to mind showing my bare boob on here, but I think I'm a little shy to wear those teeny-weeny triangle bikini tops in public, LOL. The tan crochet one with the string bikini type top in my basket is already making me nervous...

Reading this made me hungry. Looks like Instant Pot beef stew is on the menu tonite....

Too Late. I got rid of it yesterday, LOL. I hate keeping food that no one will eat.

I'm from Canada, and I got mine from the govertment-operated website which, at the time I bought it, was the only place we can get it legally up here, unless it's doctor prescribed...which mine isn't. Unless you get some word-of-mouth recommendations from people in your state, you may have to do some trial and error, which may get expensive though... Is yours prescribed? Can you ask your doctor for recommendations? P.S. I've tried the non-flavoured oil as well. I am NOT a fan. P.P.S. Also make sure you look at the percentage of CBD in any product...this may be why your first one didn't work?

During weight loss phase I didn't eat any fruit, save for one time early on that I ate like 2 tsp of my mom's fruit salad and had a serious dumping episode. Once in maintenance, blueberries are my go-to fruit. I will also have other berries, and I may have a 1/4 of an apple or like 5-10 grapes in my salads sometimes as well. Very rarely anything else.

^^ This. Even if its just around your kitchen, get up and do it every hour, without fail. It may hurt and you may not want to, but do it anyway. You should be seeing your doc soon for a follow-up, yes? Make sure to bring it up with them. ❤️

Can you get CBD oil? No sugar, and depending on what the manufacturer uses as base oil, calories would range from 5-20 calories per dropperful. I have a peppermint CBD oil spray, which I've used sporadically for relaxation/sleep and more recently for post-plastics pain management, and it does not make me stoned, nor hungry, nor sick to my stomach. Edited to add: Also, I would stay away from smoking in the early days as it hampers healing. Though ideally, just stay away from smoking at all ❤️

I had ass pain from sitting in the early months as well. If you can stand it, do some squats and other butt exercises to put some padding back on. It may take a while, but I think it works. I started doing them semi-regulary starting Feb 2019, and then full-on-regularly since Aug 2019. I no longer have sitting-ass pain (and while my butt still looks pan-cakey, its less so than before, LOL). P.S. I HATE squats, but I do them anyway.

... I want that held-together feeling back that my steri-stips gave me too!!! Man, so much conflicting information. I wish there was a standard everyone can agree on . K, new decision: I'm going to wait until the weekend, and if I'm still scabby & pink AND the achiness hasn't gone away, then I'm going to try the silicone sheets for 2 days and see if that makes me feel better...

LOL, i've recently discovered Jordan's Skinny Girl line of sugar-free flavoured syrups that I put in my coffee or tea or cup of almond milk #yummie.

Well, duh. Why didn't I think of that? That is an excellent idea.

Other than the vinaigrette I make, I have yet to find a good line myself! But I have this one in my fridge right now (I tossed the yucky Walden Farms blue cheese one). Its not bad, Mr & the Kid like it, just not vinegary enough for me personally (30 cals per tablespoon). Kraft has a whole line of "Calorie-Wise" dressings, but I haven't tried any of the other ones yet...

@MarvelGirl25...can you share the recipe? pretty please?

Man, you two are a good looking couple.

Same! Plus some new ones... Here are the swimsuits that are in my basket from the Shein.com website that @mousecat88 recommended a few days ago...hopefully my tummy tuck is all healed and un-swollen by summer 😎

...and I think I went UP two sizes!!!! The swelling in my abdomen & upper thighs is driving me nuts. My pre-op pants are still semi-uncomfortablly tight, and I really don't want to go into the basement to pull up some heavier-me pants just on principle.

I've always liked the idea of these, but have yet to find a brand that isn't too sweet or too bland. What brand do you have?

Hey! Those ARE cute! Maybe get another pair NOT to ruin, lol.
