  2. Thank you! I am 43 yrs old. I agree my skin is better also after surgery. And with extra help.[emoji4]
  3. I started thinking bout it since surgery. Im 5 months post op, Been working on my face,arms, legs, abdomin but havent found anything good or recommend for breast. Extra skin might get in bad shape and might need to be removed but what if we can help a lil.
  4. Haha! yes! True, couldnt find one but i will take a pic w/o make up. This the only one i found..lol Yes our skin needs the help!
  5. Ive been using Lancome visionare set 2x a day, to repair dark spots, open pores and to help with skin texture through this weightloss process, I absolutly love it. I saw the changes in my face/skin rapidly. Is anyone using anything for breasts?Ladies? Please share!! Our skin needs the help! (-83 lbs wt loss)
  6. I am so so sorry, prayers for you and your Family
  7. Thank you! Ahhh! I know what you mean..I watch alot of youtube bariatric patients that are cooking away with super healthy and yummy bariatric meals. Meal prep is key to stay focused. If it wasnt for that i would totally fail. I sometimes cook for my family without tasting the food (I have them tasting it)lol its crazy but anything to stay focused. In the fridge I have my own section that i fill every wknd with stuff i can eat. We got this![emoji6]
  8. Thank you ..Yes this summer will be awsome for us!![emoji7]
  9. Following up: reached my 80 lbs lost Surgery date 8/16/18 Wt before: 298 Wt now: 218 Stay motivated bariatric friends![emoji173]
  10. Wow!!! Good job, Congratulations![emoji4]
  11. Thank you, I do feel proud and comparing pictures makes me keep going[emoji173]
  12. My family lives in Texas and i live in Maryland. Back in xmas 2017 i told them i was going to go through WLS. I had to explain what it was about, but i guess they thought.."she wont do it".. Mom,Dad, brother were scared , sister in law, husband and few others very supportive. I just came to Texas yesterday for xmas and at 5 months post op my fam are blown away. I showed them my xmas pic from 2017at 298lbs and they are shocked with the difference. I am currently at 224 lbs and I tell them im just getting started and i feel great. Now about food..lol yes mom is cooking away..meal after meal but i am focused and i only serve my small portions and very selective on what i can eat, I talk more than i eat [emoji16] when before i was the quiet one eating while every one was talking and prob reaching out for a second plate. [emoji319] [emoji318] [emoji320] Merry Christmas everyone lets stay focused. We can do this!
  13. I use this patch for multivitamins recommended by my surgeon. Blood test came back normal.
  14. My Doctor said 2 weeks I took 3. Depends on your job. No heavy lifting. Prevent falls. Depends also on your Surgery recovery experience. Some recover faster than others. At home you can focus on your recovery/ planned meals at appropriate time. Get ready with meal planning for when you return to work. Set a timer/ meal prep ect. I could of been ready in 2wks because i had no need for pain meds only the 1st day out.
  15. I'm 5 months post op-Water is an issue for me now and for most..before surgery i could drink 1 liter of water from 8am-1pm and 1 liter from 2pm -5pm with no problem. Now i cant handle plain water and i dont know why??? Is it in my head??... I buy crystal light Rasberry green tea drink mix packets that are for 16oz water bottle but i pour it on 32oz water bottle its the only way [emoji57] ill take it. Some times i will finish 2 bottles of 32oz a day. Sometimes 1 and 1/2. Working on it.
