    Modesty question

    You get it girl! I considered buying shorts with a 7” in inseam. But even then, I just couldn’t do it. Maybe one day!

    Modesty question

    I bought shorts for the first time in at least 10 years. Started with 4 in inseam and now I wear tiny booty shorts to HIIT and 2.5” inseam shorts. I have bad inner thigh stretch marks but I don’t care! I worked my ass off (literally) to get the legs I have and I’m certainly going to flaunt them! Bought my first swimsuit since pool physio in 2007. It’s a 1 piece but I’ve had 4 abdominal surgeries, one 3 months ago (hernia repair) plus have loose skin so a bikini won’t ever happen.

    I’m officially six months post op (RNY 11/7/17) and couldn’t be happier with my decision to have weight loss surgery. It’s been an uphill battle with finding new meals and keeping up with diet and exercise but this new tool that I’ve been blessed with has made it a lot easier and I’m confident that I will go on to reach my goals.

    Finished with the dietician!

    I did my 6th and final visit with the dietician Thursday! So they are submitting ASAP and I should have an answer from insurance within 2 weeks. Excited and nervous. I've been very busy and stressed at work and so I'm not looking forward to finding time to take off but my office manager is great at working with me. I'm a dental hygienist so basically we are just recheduling a week's patients, because I'm already booking appointments for December and January so there's no way around it. I can't plan my life 6-7 months in advance! Anyway, just wanted to update everyone. Looking forward to having some surgery buddies when I know my date!

    Hey May sleevers! You hit the stall yet?

    I did nothing to break it. I actually expected it cause it was my third week and there’s always the infamous three week stall. I just rode it out. i lost 22 lbs. from my highest in 3 weeks prior to my surgery date (includes 2 week liquid diet) I lost 19 lbs. from surgery day. I have not gone to gym yet, plan on starting tomorrow. I know the scale will jump a bit due to working out as well

    Protein

    Oh, you'll get more input than you can imagine! Everyone's got a favorite When I need to get a lot of protein in, I go for the Premier Protein shakes. They're quite sweet, but they add in beautifully to decaf coffee, or chai tea. You can even stir them into oatmeal. (If you add to hot drinks, let the drink cool a bit first or the protein drink can curdle (YUK!) Some people thin them down so that they're not so sweet. I drink Protein waters on the way to work in the morning. That knocks the first 20g off my to-do list every day. They are also sweeter than I'd like, so I dilute with about 50% water. Hope that helps!

    I would talk to your psych doctor about the issue of your meds. (Are you planning to be on these meds long term, is there another med? Could this dose be less at some point down the road etc.) You could definitely lose 100 lbs. with either surgery. And I agree with the other poster about GERD. Many people are getting revisions due to GERD
