ms.sss

That sounds like a feat at 7 days! It's good you are letting your team know what you are up to. How tall and heavy are you?

First taste of alcohol was 1 month post-op, lol. Wasn't much though. Started drinking semi-regularly again once in maintenance (7 months po). Coffee, on the other hand. Was drinking decaf every day for first 1-2 months, then regular ever since. I can't live without coffee. Or salad.

Don't tell Mr, but...I've thought the same about you a few times myself...bwha-ahahahahhaha 😎 ...actually now that I think of it, he'd probably like the thought of that. Double bwha-ahahahhaha 😂😂 P.S. I got mine from Amazon Canada, but I'm sure they have an equivalent on Amazon Regular. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07MJJ3K9G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks! What about temperature and length of time?

😳

Bwha-hahahahhahaaha 😂 Homemade or store-bought? If the former, recipe pls! if the latter, what kind???? I. HEART. SALAD.

Maybe wear a sports bra with a very wide band? Or maybe a thin t-tshirt/tank camisole UNDER your bra? (yeah this one weird, but could work, lol) You could also try this...Mr. uses this on various body parts when he runs/rides/swims, and I used to use it to combat thigh chaffing when I was heavier: https://www.bodyglide.com/product/body/

OOTD game is deteriorating... Today we are sporting hand-me-down joggers from the Kid, a nude back-up abdominal binder (cuz my regular one is in the wash) and a visible sports bra. Arms are bare due to aforementioned washing... Oh, and Crocs of course. I don't even bother with shirts anymore. Because: I'm too sexy for my shirt Too sexy for my shirt So sexy it hurts... - RSF, 1991

The beard is BACK! Je pense que you look hotter with the beard...(but sweeter without). Take your pick, LOL. Disclaimer: not hitting on you, just stating facts. we all ogle each other on here... 😂

Omg @MarvelGirl25 I would eat at your uncle's restaurant every day #yummie

Nice. Though I've read that the longer you wear them (if you can stand it) the better...? I have started to grow fond of mine, when I take them off to shower I just feel weird. I'm itchin' to build up some abs too!! Don't tell my surgeon but I've been doing mini crunches in bed, lol. Is your swelling all gone?

I sort of did. I was never a sweets person (I always preferred salty stuff). Since about 4-5 months post WLS, I began to realllllly like dessert, LOL. I was recently gifted a whole bunch of sugar-free candy...maybe that would help a little?

WTH?! 3 days post and you are all dolled up and out and about! You and @mousecat88 are made of the same stuff. Jeez.

Boo on the discomfort/weepiness/soreness/back-to-jogging-pants-ness. I'd be annoyed too. Though there ain't nothing wrong with some Dr. prescribed relaxing! Kick you feet up and have BF meal prep for YOU! Hope you feel better soon....❤️ P.S. I find walking outside always makes everything feel a little bit better...

Today's first meal of day. Its the first time in 2+ weeks that I had to fix myself my own food. I've been milking the "getting-waited-on" from Mr. since PS. I guess that's over now, LOL Salad w/ vinaigrette + cucumbers + 1/2 oz almonds + Roasted Brussel Sprouts w/ Bacon (5 oz brussel sprouts + 2 slices bacon + garlic powder) 274 cals - 15g protein + 12g NET carbs + 17g fat

@sillykitty ...but they can be MAINTENANCE Bariatric portions! .... how big are those containers?

Ok, had some time to kill and created an infographic update of my arm too (Just my left arm though, lol..wanted to save some time ) You'll need to click on the link to see the entire picture, BP crops the pic to fit in the preview, I guess...

Pic of my tum on Day 19 below, as well as a composite progress pic of my left arm so far... ...also wrote up an update blurb in the caption/description area of the pictures 😉 .

@KaysMommy : OMG. I. WANT. A. SALOON. DRESS. @NYJenn: Yay, you're back! (and still looking great 😎) @GreenTealael: Um...you do NOT look like someone who is 3 days PO. And you aren't even hunched over! Nice!

@sillykitty: LOL..I've recently graduated from joggers to leggings. Jeans and pants are still not my friends. BTW, your BOOBS! 😍😍😍😍😍 Does BF even look into your eyes anymore?!?!

Sadly, yes it was crowded. My stomach was gurgling like a volcano and I was letting out lotsa farts before the trip to the toilet, but the movie audio was pretty loud, and the Kid said she didn't hear any noises coming from me But the washroom was cavernous and had an echo effect. Yikes.
