Yuummmmm (drool) food porn indeed!!

You definitely want to feel comfortable with who does your surgery. There are many different ones out there that are good fit for some and not for others. You have to pick one that lines up with how you and him see the process. It is a lot of homework and research but necessary and worth it in the end. Never go cheap on stuff like this. The one I picked I knew from someone else having surgery with him and I loved his work. When we met up it just clicked and I liked his plan. Now I met up with other surgeons for consults and did not feel like it was a fit. So it is a process. But don’t try and rush it. Takes time. It’s a lot of money too so you want to make a good decision not rush. Good luck to you and can’t wait to see updates!

Insurance did not cover it. I went to Dr. Kerr in Round Rock Texas. Very happy with my results!

Just curious….Why are you removing the belly button? I had a full TT in Texas. But I kept my belly button. I love my new belly button.

You look great! Keep us posted!!

Y-U-M!!!!!!

Ditto to what Arabesque said. I’m 5 years Post Sleeve. So speaking from a little experience that I have had. Like she said you have to adjust to a new way but it’s just a new way. It’s not unsustainable. We all use to eat portions that were way over what we should have and a lot of us got to our heaviest points this way. It is a bit of a mind-$&@! but you will get use to your new normal and it will become so normal. I know you don’t think so yet but give your mind and body a chance to get use to this big change. Hang in there. We are all here for you. Some of the people on here have helped me sooo much. A lot of really great info. You will find recipe ideas and which ones work for you and which don’t etc. BP is a great resource and support system. I wish you the best!

Oh yup. Same. I second that!! I agree w MS.sss

The pink drink is the one that is the refresher but with coconut milk added to it. I haven’t ever tried that. But it looks good.

Yea that’s true. I have things that I occasionally eat/drink that are sliders or not the best choice. So don’t beat yourself up on it. One of them for me is SB Refreshers!! They are soooo bad. I try not to drink them but once a week if any but they are so good. Esp w our freakin hot weather here in Texas. Today is high of 105. 🔥

@greentealael W-O-W!! You look awesome!! Loving your curves in that dress!! You look so good!!🔥

I don’t see cereal as a good option for me since surgery. I’m post sleeve -5 years. You have to be careful with cereals bc alot of brands claim to be “healthy” but they have hidden sugars etc-and tons of carbs w little or no protien in them aside from the milk. I feel like for me cereal would be more of a slider food. Like it wouldn’t fill you up. Not a lot of protein in it. Also, I’m not a breakfast person so that’s prob easier for me to say too. Bc I’m not. My go to is Ratio Coconut Yogurt w fresh blueberries. Ratio is low in sugar 3, 25g protein and 170 calories, 8 carbs

Those look yummy!!! I love teriyaki sauce on my wings!! BWWs was my all time fav. But since we started air frying our wings at home and making them ourselves that is my fav. Plus they sell the sauces in BWW brand among other brands and flavors too in the grocery store. My boys and hub all do Honey BBQ and I do old faithful teriyaki. (I don’t do any kind of spicy type food!) Sooo good. If yall haven’t tried them in the air fryer -you should
