Absolutely! Count me in for sure. Just tell me where and when ❤️

I usually order 2 street tacos (which are pretty small). They always come with 2 corn tortillas each, I guess to hold in the juices. I always eat one full taco but take off the 2nd tortilla, then just eat the insides of the second taco.

GTL & Sophie! I’m so jealous! You both look fabulous. And yes, Kris, I love to do a big meet up. Girls weekend in Vegas? Palm Springs? Napa for wine tasting? I’m there!

Just don’t take calcium supplements within 2 hours of your iron supplement. Calcium inhibits the absorption of iron.

@Arabesque I love that skirt! The colorful sweater is gorgeous with it and makes your waist look tiny.

Not so much an OOTD as a reflection. I flew in to Dublin yesterday to attend The Frames concert this evening. Not only was I (relatively) comfortable in my coach seat for 9 hours, I was able to buy a size small sweatshirt at the show and had no worries about whether they would have one that fits me or not.

WTAF? @Arabesque just shared some interesting research and also congratulated you. Any offense taken was entirely of your own invention. I’d encourage you to spend more time here and see how truly supportive the regulars, such as @Arabesque are. Great information and encouragement is provided on a regular basis, should you be receptive to it.

TEN DAYS???!!!??? Oh man, that sounds miserable! I’d be getting out the big guns after day 3. You look amazing, that color is gorgeous and you’ve got the hot mama bikini bod! I’m currently on vacay in Dublin. No need for bikinis here!

Plastic surgery was the best thing I did for myself post VSG. Head over to the PS forum, lots of folks have shared their stories and before/after pics.

Look in to BioTe pellets. They are amazing, I have zero symptoms after getting mine.

This was my favorite arm compression garment. So comfy! I started with a medium, but as swelling went down ended up ordering a small. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07B59QGY3?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I rewarded myself with both plastic surgery and then a new wardrobe once I got to goal. Best decision ever!

No way! That’s one of the best parts of what we’ve all been through-being able to show off our bodies and not needing to cover up in loose clothing anymore. You look amazing, keep up what you’re doing :)

Love this! Shows off your killer curves ❤️

These are all gorgeous, but I especially love the blush colored one. You are going to be the hot mama of the resort!

Another sunny day in Portland, another bikini pic. Besides my VSG, my boobs are my favorite investment I’ve made ?

Those boots are amazing! Leather skirt or pants to go with? A slinky dress? You’ll definitely need to show us what outfit you pair them with!

My parents are prepping to downsize. They brought this when they came to visit me recently. Not only can I wear my high school letterman’s jacket, it’s actually roomy. And back then I thought I was fat!

Gorgeous! Seeing these kind of dresses is making me crave summer. I can just see you sitting on a tropical beach at sunset in that blue dress. Your waist looks tiny!

Do y’all get in ruts with food? I’ve had the same thing for lunch every day for a week. Still enjoying it though! Deli turkey wrap made with a carb balance tortilla, turkey, light cream cheese, and a sprinkle of everything but the bagel seasoning.

That is bizarre! I snapped about 6 pics, looked back and they all look like that. There is a regular strap-not sure why it looks like it’s missing !

Yes. While not ideal 4 days isn’t going to make a big difference in the grand scheme of things. Enjoy your trip!

A couple days.

I also had major plastic surgery post weight loss:a tummy tuck with muscle repair & lipo to my flanks, a breast lift & augmentation, and an arm lift. I took three weeks off work and felt well enough to go back at that point. My PS was Jan of 2021. My breast scars are invisible, the TT scar has lightened up significantly. The arm lift scars are still pretty pink, but I’m ok with that. I’m so glad I took that next step.
