Mango with fat free whip cream. Can someone tell me why I feel guilty about eating a mango 🥭😔

Yum!! I think it might be coz mangoes taste sooo decadant and delicious, they are high in carbs, but sooo yummy!

Boo! Do you have a regular waffle maker? If so, just double the recipe (1 cup cheese, 4 eggwhites) to make one large waffle. If you don't have a waffle maker, you could always try revolutions rolls too!

I don't have one unfortunately, but will probably get one after my surgery... will be a bigger one though, don't think we have the small ones here... shame as they dash mini is so cute!

Congrats! Great work

Simple salad for today's lunch. Would have loved some of those dates on it! We are painting and re-decorating my home office + studio this weekend while marinated pork carnitas are slow roasting in oven for our Cuban supper tonight, as a DIY reward! LOL. Adore authentic Cuban food having spent many years living in Miami/Coral Gables. Did set designs for Miami Vice show, too. Anyone remember the original show with Don Johnson? When Billy Crocket went undercover to penetrate the drug cartel... we did his character's ultra-sleek luxury modern home on Biscayne Bay. Long days on set design we'd order Cuban take-out delivery. Yum! Feeling rather sentimental these days... Thanks for letting me ramble on. ;]

Your salad looks yummy as always Sophie.

Wow.. cool Beans on the Miami Vice connection, I was just talking about that show a few months ago loved the boat they used to throttle around in

Carnitas is sooo yummy!

Sheez we get ripped off down here in Australia... $67 - $127 on Amazon Aust for the same thing, AND it has the US plug, not converted for Australian power.

No Chaffles for me!!

Hello all you beautiful people. It’s been a while. I’ve been in nothing but workout clothes the past few weeks. I have to go into the office for a couple of things this morning so I finally put on real clothes. I’m ready to be back at work. This working from home, being teacher, and having hubby home all day ( he was put on furlough 🙁) has been really stressful. It’s been rough. I hope you are doing well, I’m ready for all of us to get back to normal. Have a happy and healthy day everyone.

Looking wonderful KaysMommy... I think you look thinner than before the lock down.. how did you manage that!! lol

...and here is one more. I am especially pleased that my butt has some minor protrusion in this dress, instead of its usual pancake look. #squatsAreMyFriend

My PS swelling is still hanging around on my lower tummy, but it is getting smaller....slowly.

Yay!!! She's back Welcome back, we've all missed you!!

Love all your new outfits, the green dress though.... ummm yeah Hello.. how you doin? Hahaha...

It is a very elegant dress actually, I hope you get to wear it somewhere wonderful soon.

Amazing job!!!

Awesome job!!! Well done

Holy Cow!! you do look amazing Well done and keep up the great work!!

ps.. I also love that Top Gun T-shirt

Everyone looks great as ever, even in lock down you're a stylish bunch

*sigh* plenty of time off right now... but no elective surgeries being performed here in Australia, so I am still on the wait...

Has anyone heard from ms.sss?

Congrats Mikey, you've done very well indeed.

What fun that you guys had breakfast... as ms.sss said... total Win Sophie!!!! If you had Bobby with you we could say.. you got all the hot guys!!

Amazing! you look gorgeous and whilst you looked happy before you really sparkle now!!

Freaky feeling I am sure! You are so tiny!!! But sounds like you have a good handle on it...🤗

Bet you those chicks were too busy being self conscious about how they looked to even think about anyone else in the room... those types rarely think beyond themselves lol

Congrats Jake, you're a freakin inspiration!!!

30 days post op

Now past the 4 week mark - I really notice a difference! Feeling mostly "back to normal" and will continue to wear the compression garments another 4 weeks to total 8. I am thrilled with the results! Assessed current wardrobe today and seem to be settling nicely into XS/S tops, size 8 dress and 6/8 slacks in petites. Most interim clothing will need to be donated. Other basics go back to seamstress. Appetite, bowels and Water intake have returned to normal. Do not wish to loose anymore weight. Looking forward to moving into spring as the new stabilized me after an intense 16 months of bariatric research, planning, scheduling, gastric sleeve, nutritional and lifestyle adjustments and lastly, plastics. It's all good. So very thankful for the opportunity to have halted the obesity cycle.

You look amazing Sophie! Love all the outfits, these are my faves though

Bobby <3<3<3

Amazing Sophie you look incredible... your surgeon did an amazing job...

....those boobs though AwwwwwwSum!!!

I got 4 tops/blouses from Shein too this week... wasn't really happy with any of them tbh.

Sizing inconsistent, thin cheap fabric on 2 of them. Thick stiff fabric on two others.

One very gappy over my large bosom, and would be very low cut/ exposing without pinning or sewing it up.....another the buttons have fabric fastening loops which leave a vertical strip of no fabric and bare skin, definately not as pictured, nor work appropriate.

Weird ... still worked out at $15Aud each top.. so it was worth trying, but only 1 is wearable for me.

Congratulations!!!

Brutally honest opinions needed!

New compression gear has arrived ... but is this still too much tummy?

High profile meetings next week and I'm struggling with hiding both my boobs and my belly

Hot dang girl... you really look very much like an awesome woman! The belly is fine and boobs look magnificent.

The important thing is how does it make *you* feel? If the meeting is super important and you are uncomfortable for any reason that is not ideal, so evaluate on your own feelings.

I think you look gorgeous and nothing less than stellar, you are a very hard judge on yourself!

Hey @Arabesque

Thanks for stopping by my thread!

Yeah it's going well so far, but this weekend is going to be pretty big with a few events to go to over the long weekend... will try to behave, but will probs put some of the weight back on.. >.<

I wish I would have one or two glasses of wine at night after work haha.. if so it wouldn't be a problem lol
