I am bored, let's talk.

??

How is everyone doing? In general, with pre-op goals, post op? Anything?

Anyone around Baltimore, MD?

I mostly want to like salmon for the health benefits. I think I’m going to give that one a try again.

if you have an air fryer, it makes a world of difference in the taste. I will also do it really low and slow in the oven so it doesnt have that fishy-oily smell to it. Salmon cakes are really good too.

My new shirt!! I’m wearing it on Monday and will take progress pics in it too!

I’ve seen this shirt on Etsy and Amazon! I had one made that said “Straight Outta Gastric Bypass “ ?

I saw that one too! My husband bought this one for me because I am kind of a Taylor Swiftie.

Did you really look it up? I’m curious where it came from. I’ve never heard it before.

I am at work, so didn't have too much time, but after reading some stuff about the freezing temp of it and why your nose runs....? I decided another time....

I am doing well, happily surprised at my ease of this surgery and the process so far! I seem to be loosing weight quick (my surgeon and nutritionist agree) but I am not trying to get accustomed to it because it will eventually slow down. I just have a lot to loose so it is moving quicker for now. I am for now, just enjoying the ride!

Looks at your progress of your weight loss.....71 pounds down since March is ALOT. Was there some weight loss post op? I worry I wont lose alot? I dont know why lol. I spoke with my Dr yesterday and she says most standard weight loss she sees post op in sleeve patients is about 30 lbs. She said she predicts I will soar past that as I have lost 14 lbs in 9 days....YAY......Congrats on your progress!! You are doing Awesome

My friend bought me this for my surgery.

Like 30 pounds, period?? I think you may have misunderstood that number.

No, as a general guideline I suppose. She said most lose more than that but as a general guideline that amount seems to be the average lost in 4 weeks post op (Im guessing for lower BMI ppl probably but who knows). Of course each person is different.

Ooh you mean within 4 weeks. Ooh okay. I thought you meant overall. I was like ummmm I think that’s a bit conservative.
