I have to admit I haven’t went to my NUT but two times since surgery.

So do y’all measure 1/2 cup veg and protien combined?

I’m sorry they were like that to you.

You called telling them you were feeling sick and they told you to see a mental health professional? That would have made me feel bad as well. Maybe you just had a big bc you’re feeling better now right?

So meat and veg together keep to a 1/2 cup? Just want clarification

True... I need to start measuring it out.

I’ve noticed recently that I am able to eat more than I was before. I had one occasion where I ate too much and got sick in the past but other than that I have eaten small, below the size portions that I should (bc I stop as soon as I feel anything).
Is this normal? I have had a huge fear since surgery of screwing this up. I know I haven’t overeaten over and over to screw it up but how is it I’m able to eat more?
I am still losing. Slowly but surely. Goal Dr set was 145. My goal is 135.
Started st 231
Pre op-221
Current weight-143
I am very happy with the weight loss. I just want it to stay off.

You look amazing!! What a great accomplishment!!!

Taco on egg white “tortilla” yum! I ate the whole thing.

Is this sold at the regular type grocery stores? Or was it a specialty store?

lunch today. I'm so afraid of dumping I won't eat Chinese out any more. So made my own "miracle" stir fry using very little oil, and no sugar and miracle rice. So dang good!!! I forgot to add the chopped almonds/cashews for the pic but they were delish.

Still working on it, but think there will be leftoverskis.

Recipe please😊

I hardly peed in the beginning too bc I couldn’t get enough in. Just keep taking small sips frequently

I use women’s one a day (store brand), Calcium supplements, Biotin, b-12
The Biotin has helped a lot with my hair

Depends on each person. I felt great and could have gone back right away except that I lift up things at my job so I took two weeks off to be safe. Recovery for me was smooth.

You can do it! Keep your eye on the prize!😊

Did you drink caffeine or Diet Coke before surgery? Maybe withdrawals from that?

Congrats! Let us know how you did!

I agree with the others who have posted responses. Avoid carbs like Pasta and bread. Use this honeymoon period of not being “hungry” to eat lean Proteins. Did your surgeon or Dietician give you a plan with foods to stick with and foods to avoid after surgery?

I imagine there are vegetarian people who have weight loss surgery. I wonder if it’s harder getting all the Protein you need being a vegetarian? I don’t know but if he curious to know. meat is much heavier so I know I don’t eat the amount I need.

Anyone have walking/running sneaker recommendations?

Let's be honest here, if i own them ... they are just for show 😖😓😁😝

Brooks Ghost sneakers all the way!!!
Light weight, great arch support (I do put extra added support inside bc I have low arches). Feel like your walking on a cloud.

That’s awesome!!
Mine have faded but the one where they pulled the stomach portion they took out is still hard and you can still see it.

OMG - you probably won't see this until you are post-op, so CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! So exciting! This is such a great gift you're giving to yourself.

You are too kind. I do have excess skin! I have some under my arms (not extremely bad)...I do try to hit the gym 3x a week for 15 minutes to work on them a bit. Also, I've gained and lost so much over the years that losing 100 lbs. will take a toll on your body. I do run 50 miles per week which helps with muscle in the legs. Also, I had a mommy makeover (tummy tuck, breast lift and augmentation) 7 years ago which helped keep some of those areas firm. However, my booty is sad, sad, sad and pretty much non existent. LOL (insert crying emoji here) Also, my upper thighs are wrinkly and loose too. I plan to possibly address the booty in 2020 before I turn 40 years old. The nice thing is, is we have options if we decide to go the plastics route. Technology and medicine has come so far.

You too amazing! Congrats!!!

I’m ten months out and have lost 83lbs. I’m 13 pounds to goal!!

Boobs take a long time to heal...just like our stomachs. The scars are looking better and they have really dropped and fluffed. Just wanted to post an update. Another before and after. This BL/BA was like the crown on top of sleeve surgery. I highly recommend if you're considering it. I have even more confidence and I didn't think that was possible after the sleeve. Lol

I don’t see any of your trocar incisions either!!

Wow!! You look great!!
I want and need my boobs done too!! You’re here in Houston right?
Your stomach/body looks so tone...mine is very loose looking but I think that had a whole lot to do with my not getting enough protien in and losing a ton of muscle along w my fat. Trying to lift weights in the gym and get it back—the muscle that is lol not the fat!!

I’m in Florida now but I am from Livingston/Jasper/Nacogdoches/Lufkin/Midtown/the Woodlands/KLEIN - Go Bearcats!! I used the Baylor residence program for a lot of cosmetic surgeries/Botox. I had liposuction and breast lift/ implants in 2008. My implants are way too big for me now but at the time they seemed like a logical idea. Looking to get those removed/ revised. I have since had two accidents and now suffer with back pain.

Baylor did a great job with my Lipo (Of course I gained back all the crap that I had liposucked our and ended up having a sleeve years later). But it’s a great program if you haven’t looked into it yet... I paid like $3400 for boobs and $4000 for the rest - 2 different surgeries. Would have been cheaper but I opted for the overnight hospital package at Methodist. I just wanted to comfort of staying in a hospital bed overnight with 24 hours care. Anyway, just my 2 cents...

I’m curious. How did you find out about that? I would like to get some info too
