Keep taking pictures. Write down your measurements. When you start to forget how far you've come (and how awesome you look!), the pics and numbers are there to remind you ❤️

I was cleared for everything by week 5. I was able to eat steak...maybe only like 1 oz of it, but it was fine going down (and stayed down). Everyone's plan is different. Listen to your team, but more importantly, listen to your body.

Today, Tuesday, Dec. 3 Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr PO Sleeve / 115.3 lbs ---------------------------------------- Weekday Dessert Embargo fail (and it's only been day 2!). I had 2 oatmeal raisin cookies at the grocery today...they were giving them away for free! I couldn't say no! Well, actually I could have, I just chose not to. On the bright side I got 2 bags of romaine hearts (that's 10 hearts)! and 2 boxes of spinach from Costco this afternoon. YAY!! ---------------------------------------- 9:00am - coffee w/ stevia 11:00am - 3/4 cup coconut-lime sweet potato curry + cucumber toast (keto bread roll + 1.5 tbsp cream cheese + sliced cucumber) 2:30pm - avocado smoothie (1 avocado + monk fruit sweetener + 1 cup almond milk) 4:30pm - 2 oatmeal raisin cookies 8:30pm - salad greens w/ vinaigrette + 5 green grapes + 1 fl oz pumpkin seeds + 1/4 cup seaweed salad + 6oz assorted sashimi + 1 tbsp tamari + 1/4 tsp wasabi Totals: 1314 cals - 62g Protein - 111g NET carbs - 60g fat

Here's mine:

Oh, how I LOVE jaw-dropping Before and Afters. You are super FINE, @Healthy_life2

*wolf-whistles* (in a very polite and respectful way, lol)

Yeah, too bad MSG is so very yum and so very not-so-healthy at the same time.

The patty is really just 50g of corned beef from a can mixed with some chinese five spice, corriander then formed and griddled in sesame oil. The crunchy garlic chili oil is a fave in my house. We used to get only get it a couple times a year when my sister would visit from NYC and she would bring some for us from some store near her work. I couldn't google to try find local sellers because there was nothing (english) I could read on the packaging to Google! I didn't even know what it was called. Then by chance I found it on a shelf in an Asian store here WITH an English stick-on label so I could actually find out what was in it, LOL. Here is a pic of it with the English label (it's a little hard to read, even in person, lol). It really is delicious and the Kid likes to "put that sh*t on EVERYTHING".

You look amazing! Great Job!!!!

? Wow. Just wow.

Arm lift and Breast Lift/Side Boob Skin removal in 2 weeks! Looks like we are going to be in recovery at the same time (...along with @sillykitty ! )

Wow...you are healing really nicely. The part of the incision closer to your elbow is already fading! It's been like a week! P.S. Your arm is tiny!

Looks like I'm currently on a (shiratake) noodle soup phase cuz my fridge is still salad-greens-less. One of yesterday's meals: shiratake noodles + dashi broth + pea shoots + corned beef patty + crunchy garlic oil 217 cals - 16g protein - 5g NET carbs - 14g fat Ate it all

I actually find the opposite...they are soooooo filling that I end up eating less for that day overall, leading to losses if I eat them over extended period of time ??‍♀️

hmmmm...it may be your mirror...perhaps it has a bit of fun-house squashiness accidentally built into it. Do you have another mirror at home to compare? because yeah, you look much smaller looking in the Andy picture...

@shanza's back...yay! ❤️ ...and still looking 10 feet tall and fabulous.

Yesterday, Monday, Dec. 2 Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr PO Sleeve / 115.3 lbs Am going through salad withdrawal...I need to get to Costco and buy some bulk greens STAT. And some chicken breasts... 8:30am - coffee w/ stevia + earl grey tea w/ stevia 1:00pm - Shiratake noodles w/ Dashi broth + pea shoots + 2 oz corned beef + crunchy garlic chili oil 3:00pm - 1 cup greek yogurt + 1.5 fl oz pumpkin seeds + 1/2 oz almonds + coffee w/ stevia 7:30pm - Shiratake noodles + 1 cup coconut-lime chicken sweet potato curry + fried onions + cashews Totals: 906 cals - 56g Protein - 53g NET carbs - 44g fat

@Sophie7713, holy smokers! I had to zoom in to recognize you in your before picture! You have come a long way, lady...sooooooo awesome ❤️ and @FluffyChix...is it me, or are you are looking skinnier? That red jacket is very flattering on you...makes you look so tall!

When you can't have too much of a good thing...I count 4 now of this top in various colours. Do we get to see more?!?

I didn't get very sick (just mild to moderate ickiness) , AND a very through bathroom elimination around 11pm, LOL. I think it is because I was grazing with the sugar stuffs all night over several hours vs. eating it all at once. If I had eaten all that junk in a smaller time window, for sure I would've been on the floor.

I actually consider it a win that I logged 16. I know for sure that if I didn't log each and ever single one that I popped in my mouth throughout the night, I would have eaten much, much, much more than 16. As for the sleep, I've always been a go-to-bed late person for as long as I remember. Though as I've gotten older, I've also become a get-up-early person...which results in very little sleep overall. ...it helps though that I mostly work from home, so I don't need to be too alert all the time, LOL.

I know right?!?!?

Maybe pair of heels will help? (in RED!) Btw, LOOOVE the denim jacket!!!!!

Yeah, I wasn't wearing a bra or anything so the girls were just hanging around down there, LOL. Plus that last dress was like a size 6 and was way too big for me...you can't see them in the pic, but there are a bunch of heavy-duty clamps holding the dress up and closed in the back. I wanna go back and put it on again and prance around the salon...
