Nice try, but I'm convinced you have bigger boobs, and I have bigger everything else! :lol:

Haha! Well I have foobs cuz the original pair tried to kill me. Lol so they will stay the same but losses in my chest measurement really measure fat loss in my back and loss of lymphedema Fluid in my left side chest. Lol. The PS made me get DD's even tho I wanted smaller ones cuz he said anything smaller would look odd cuz of my size and how wide my chest and shoulders are. I so wish they were smaller cuz I don't have much skin and they are painfully tight.

Well, painfully tight doesn't sound like fun. But the silver lining is they don't have the deflated thing going on, like so many of us.

When I decided to have WLS, I knew that it would be followed by PS. I figured tummy/boobs/lipo for sure. But now I'm reconsidering the boobs a little. I mean they aren't what they used to be, but they're not too bad!

Thanks ... I was actually reconsidering because I've gotten some compliments as of late on them, in their natural state, lol. So it made me think maybe they're not so bad?

I also really, really hate porn boobs (no offense to those who love them!), so I have to really careful about picking a surgeon who can give me very natural ones. So the thought of being stuck w boobs I hate makes me anxious.

Yes small take out but it's a ton of Protein, beef and chicken & I ate some before I remembered to get a pic. I can't handle beef well but decided why not lol. I doubt I will be hungry enough for additional meals. Plus unseen was a bite of cheesecake.

I was hungrier and eating more before IF, my hunger has greatly diminished. I'm just drinking more these day.

Ok, so don't know that I will take pics every day cuz I'm compelled to go in and color correct etc. And I don't have time or energy for that. LOL. Here was today's food. I'd post afters but they were clean plates. The thing about being AR is that I know how much I can eat by now. So I only serve what I can eat. I probably won't end up eating the BS cuz I finished dinner at 8pm and it makes no sense to try to eat again in 1 hour. But I did actually have 3.25oz of pork loin. Cals were well under 500 for the day and Protein was 67g which is fine. Carbs were under my limits as well and fat was fine too. OMG. I'm such a nerd.

Breakfast - Egg White Puff

lunch - Chopped Shrimp salad

Dinner - Roasted Pork Loin with Broccoli

Tomorrow is "Toosday" and is an UD. I will attempt 1000 cals that do not include a bunch of crap. :D

@FluffyChix ....That all looks delicious ....like, REALLY delicious!

I'm also super impressed you can get 67 g of Protein in at 500 cals, with all real food. I can't do it without supplementing Protein Shakes, protein Soups, etc.

One thing about living alone is cooking for one sucked pre WLS, and it just seems ridiculous post WLS.

I hear ya on the cooking for one! I usually cook meats ahead, then we have them to eat with different things. Like I'll boiled a pound of shrimp when it's cheap here and freeze them on a tray then bag them. That way I can pull out 2-3oz. Same with chicken breasts and this roast. It was part of a whole loin. So I cut it into about 4inch sections and freeze them. So they make 2 meals + lunch each. Then I only have to nuke veg and do avo/tomatoes.

If you pair down any carbs to only low glycemic veg, limit fruit til you know if you have room left and go for lean Proteins with almost zero added fat, you'd be amazed at the quantity of food you get for 500 cals!

I will admit that I miss my PP in coffee. Since I have 24cals left, I think I will alter my plan to have a decaff with PP in it as my BT snack. Then tomorrow will just have to delay eating until 11:30am. No big whoop.

Good morning everyone!! How did you do yesterday? Any good word for us?

Yesterday was pretty easy. No hunger or deprivation--but come on, with huge meals like the ones from yesterday--how could anyone feel deprivation? But you know...whah! It didn't have cheese or gooey stuff, and wasn't in the form of a casserole! No Pasta, rice, bread, or potatoes! :( The hell??? :) And it was a "feast day"=holiday. Bet you didn't realize Labor Day was a feast day. Right? LOL. ROFL!

I got all of my walking in -- and beyond, but I was gonna do my core exercises and didn't pull it together to do it.

This morning as expected after a day of clean eating and drinking lots o plain Water, I'm back down a couple of pounds to 163.6lbs. It's not enough of a diff to go change my ticker. LOL. So I will wait until next Monday to change things up for the week.

Today is an UD for me which means I get 1000cals. I'll still keep my basic proportions, but will use higher fat items/carbier items to use up the cals. In actuality according to the diet, my UDs should really be about 1200-1400 cals or more. But I can't bring myself to eat that many cals. I'm so afraid of gaining! So I may have to just take baby steps to get back up there so that I'm doing the full UD/DD rotation and getting the best metabolic benefit.

*Forgot to mention, tonight is trivia night with our friends at a local wine bar. So I will have one glass of chardonnay and "whoop it up" then have iced tea in a wine glass. :) I'm so wicked. I used some of my fat for the cals in the chardonnay.

Also, I will likely be adding my psyllium husks in to get more Fiber and I'll be damned if I'm going to count the calories OR the carbs toward my daily totals goal. LOL. So I'll make my menu, then add it in to try to get higher in fiber. Ohhhhhh the little head games we play with ourselves--and the rationalizations...

09.04.18: Up Day (UD) 1000 cals: 30% Protein (75g); 15%Carbs (38g--total non-net); 55%Fat (61g); 25g Fiber; <15g daily natural sugars

Brekky 1: Decaff; Colace; Miralax

B2: 2 over-med eggs with sauteed super greens trio, broccoli and mushrooms

L: sardines nicoise salad (sans potatoes)

AS: mozzarella cheese stick + roasted almonds

D: grilled chicken; steamed broccoli with butter; avocado/tom salad

BS: Granny Smith apple with FlufferNutter Dip (Vitacost Peanut Butter Slim PB powder + WF Marshmallow Dip)

Vitamins: 2 multis, 1500mg Ca Cit, 18mg Iron + C; 100mg Thiamin; 1000mg B12 subling -- don't count the values into daily totals for cals/carbs. Sue me.

Busy travel day, I don't think there will be any meals for me as my non fasting hours fall during my travel hours. So modified water& tea fasting all day (I use stevia & Protein Shake if I want throughout fasting and non fasting hours, it works for me)

I will use the PP as Creamer if I want any (sometimes I like hot tea English style and iced tea Thai style).

But these babies will be in rotation, mostly Water and green tea. Maybe a coffee if there's a decent roaster where I am in Manhattan...

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
