  1. Thank you all! I'm in Chicago like heart of the city but work and travel to and from is such a time commitment I would never make it to the gym. I'm going to check out some of the recommendations on videos etc I think ideally I would love to find time in my schedule to take a dance class a few times a week...like ballroom, tap and jazz would be great! I danced when I was younger and would love to get back to it !!

    Shorter than I thought!

    Isn't it funny how we know our weight down the a tenth of a pound but sometimes not as sure of our height..... I'm still in shock over my "little" revelation! Lol
  4. Lol no worries about the stalking! I'm usually not one for selfies but find seeing pics of myself makes it more concrete mentally. The shift from an obese person to one that's almost "normal" is hard for me still.

    Thoughts

    Be true to yourself and you can never go wrong! Personally for myself I thought "well I have lost so much weight prior to surgery maybe I don't need it" Then I came to my senses and realized I haven't been success on my own in the past so why would I be successful long term now?? Long story short I was true to myself and had surgery and it's quite possibly the best thing I have ever done! Definitely the best thing I have ever done for myself
  6. Congrats on the loss! I feel your pain! I took a selfie on Easter in the car on way to Easter dinner and I about died! My neck is hideous!! So I now vowed only selfies looking skyward! Lol But I can't wait to see if this treatment works and I may be on board too!!

    This can not be correct! (Bra talk)

    Sports bras are the bane of my existence! Kaitlynm have you tried CWX or enell? They fit well and make bras that have shoulder straps not the Y back. The Y back bras kill me because they creep up and hurt my neck...I only wear ones with regular bra type straps but sometimes they are super hard to find

    I'm glad I'm not the only one in need of smaller bras!

    Unflavored protein with jello?

    I do it all the time! Check out the recipe section on the unjury site, they have a great recipe
  10. I took photos but not creative ones. I also did them in a bra and underwear for maximum effect ..which is great but not if I wanted to post them on these boards! [emoji4] In hind sight I should have taken some in clothing also .....lol

    *Ughh* LOST MORE WEIGHT ON PRE-OP THAN POST OP !

    And take measurements! Some weeks the scale doesn't move at all for me, but every Sunday I take measurements and that's where I see the difference!

    I have to laugh because I'm super excited that I can now find my sizes on clearance racks..Large/ 14 I thought yeah, that means cheaper bras too! WRONG! Lol I may be a 36 but it's a 36F so nope I'm still going to be shopping online! Lol Eh, win some, lose some I guess
  13. Lol that was hilarious! Super excited for you!! I felt the same way when I realized I could cross my legs! Appropriately without the leg on top sticking straight out because of all the extra fat on my legs!!

  19. I had a veggie burger patty for lunch today and thanks Dr Prager for the yuk feeling! Never ever again! I so want to vomit just to get rid of it but since my sleeve vomiting is not my forté. So what foods have been evil to you that you have sworn off ??
  20. So my scale, brand new bought end of January I might add has math issues! Yesterday my weight was 193 Today I am 192.3 My scale said.... +1.2 lbs EXCUSE ME??? Sorry boo but I'm my world that's a Loss!! Anyone else need to check their scales "math?" Mine is nutty or maybe just cruel! Lol
  21. I eat lemons almost daily But I have never tried the peel! Lol No issues but I take a PPI daily also
  22. Ah, more evidence how BMI is a bunch of crap! Lol
  23. Lol you think I would be a better "scale parent" and know who my scale is hanging out with! At this point I think summer school might be inevitable [emoji1]
