Thank you ???? slenderization.. I love that word

I see it too! You are pear shaped like me. I noticed the weight moved slower off my lower half! What is your experience? You look great!

yesss the pear lol. But yea if it wasn't for my jeans becoming loose I wouldn't be able to tell. My thighs still seem huge to me. I see a little excess skin there .. Not a lot but yea I do feel like the bottom half is going to take awhile ..

Yep, the hips don't lie! That's what I tell my husband lol. Being pear shaped has it's advantages! You are progressing beautifully.

yea I hope to have some left at least a little lol my hubby loves them..

Wow! Look at that tiny waist!

Thank you. Gotta keep working. ????

wow! You're only 5 weeks out and you look absolutely fantastic!!!

Thank you so much.

Ok lol. I was like "this is not a plus size girl who's plus size?" I get it now.

lol yea, it's so hard for me to slowly get out of that plus size frame of mind. It's all I knew and although I have much more to go . Most of my "plus sized clothing don't fit". So I know there is progress my mind just had to catch up.

You look amazing. I can tell a huge difference in your arms and shoulders. Keep up the great work. I hope I look this great.

Thank you. I can only tell cause a lot of my favorite jeans size 16 and 18 aren't fitting anymore. Bittersweet. I plan on upping my cardio.How far out are you?

Taco salad sounds good what do you put on that

Your weight loss is very noticeable. Keep up the good work!

thank you so much it's hard for me to notice I still have a long way to go .. But this is a good start.

I think I'm missing it...

missing what?

I eat chicken bowls and lunch meat and cheese roll ups, I also eat fish sticks every now and then shrimp and broccoli..

So I'm a little over 5 weeks out and although I'm still learning, I feel great. I still have a issue seeing myself as plus sized but today changed my mind. Here's why

August 27 I was 199.4 I haven't weighed myself so Ima go with that goal is 160

Mine was due to my Vitamins lol. I usually brush after lol

I will be about one month out on Saturday. And I know it should take me around 20 or 30 mins to eat. The longest it takes me is 15 mins the fastest is 10-11 mins. Any tips to help me? I've really been trying, very hard but I still eat fast.

I'm on soft foods right now. Here are the things I've been eating:

Meatballs with marinara

Baked salmon

Shrimp (GREAT source of protein!)

Deli meat and cheese rollups

Deviled eggs with string cheese

Chili (homemade and Wendy's)

Trader Joe's BBQ chicken Teriyaki

Trader Joe's Shiitake Mushroom chicken

Chipotle Burrito Bowl (no rice)

Qdoba Burrito Bowl (no rice)

we have the same menu lol

My team told me not to eat them .. To much carbs and they might "get stuck" leaving you very uncomfortable. I've seen people say eventually they have them again but that's years out. Everyone is different.

Request sent

I'm following now

I am also having headaches Tylenol

thanks everyone Tylenol helped but I feel the headache is right there waiting for me lol I hate headaches

What can I take for headaches this early .. My head is pounding ..

I love legging????????

I have a question . I had a cup of dry corn flakes do you think that will prevent the surgeon from doing my gastric sleeve surgery which is tomorrow ?

my doc said nothing after 6p the day before surgery. What were your instructions..?

I just had my sleeve surgery on the 27 of August and I'm doing alright I guess. I miss my favorite foods so much right now! Hungry, but I'm drinking more then eating because the food makes me nauseous. I'm on stage 2 and I cannot wait for stage 4. Is the coughing normal??

coughing? What type of coughing? Does it hurt? I would call the advice nurse

You can have rice I can't wait lol I was told rice is a no no..

It's not that rice is a no no. Eventually, you will have room in your stomach for rice. Right now, you should be concentrating on getting all your Protein in. Protein first, and veggies if you have room. I am not sure when you had your sleeve surgery.

Rice expands in your stomach. So be careful. You can eat a small amount, and get really full as it expands while it's sitting in your little tiny stomach.

.. Thanks yea I have a ways to go I'm only 18 days out. I am still trying to focus on eating slower lol.

@@lachellove it's silly, like I'll start feeling down for no reason. Then I'll be excited for the future. It goes back and forth. I feel like there's more to it then just the surgery itself, I am staying with my parents because I have a 16 month old and I can't lift him for 6 weeks. So I'm not recovering at home. My parents are awesome but I miss home & my hubby. So I'm sure that plays a lot into it. Plus, it's hard to feel so restricted sometimes & eat the same stuff. However, this week should be easier as I can add yogurt, cottage cheese and scramble eggs.< /p>

. Yea I see what you mean I had the same roller coaster emotions..but I'm home so it makes it a little easier it's when my hubby and kids leave and I have time to think.. It will get better for us both .. Very soon ..
