    Post Op Bra Size

    I tried on a few from VS and they seem forgiving and sturdy so you shouldn't have a problem even if you lose a few extra lbs

    Post Op Bra Size

    I went from a 44H to a 38DD! I am satisfied with buying less expensive bras at $10 from Walmart or wherever vs $60 from Lane Bryant. When im finally at my stable size I'll get fancier lol and buy from Victoria's Secret.
  4. Thanks! @FluffyChix the chicken was meal prepped a week ago and frozen( BBQ style on food before and after thread), I blanched broccoli normandy and that's all. For the soup I just added the chicken, vegetables and water. Instant soup! @sillykitty I can't imagine spending that much and not sneaking food out in a Ziploc in my purse 😂😂😂😂😂
  5. I think as long as you have more good days than craptastic days, it balances out...

    Over eating

    You may be eating alot more food than most at your stage with alot of ingredients. This will add up very quickly. I suggest cutting all portions in half or trying to stick to simpler foods without sauces. Also it may be helpful to look for alternate types of the foods you like, low carb gluten free, low/no fat. These tend to have less cals. Weigh/measure your nuts because they are usually at least 160 Cal per 28-30 grams, that can be a whole meal replacement. You need more water/fluids, but less coffee. Triple your water intake and watch the kilos fall off. Honestly everyone is different but at 10 months out, I don't even eat this much. Check in with your NUT/team to see where they want you to be. Safe Journey!

    Sugar addict anyone?

    Reformed sugar addict here, I subbed out the majority of my sweetners with stevia, etc. I hard core read labels for sugar content and type. Chocolate must be at least 80% cacao, most desserts are diabetic friendly and I eat regular desserts only on special occasions in very small amounts. Never going back to sugar like before...
  10. Sick. Thanks NYC... But I did eat so here's photos, same thing for two days. Made soup from the original meal. Worked out. What's missing is yogurt, peanut butter and chocolate. I say at about 1000 cals both days. Endless amounts of fluids to try and cripple this bug. Going back to bed.
  11. 10 months post op, 160s.

    Sick (first time since surgery) because I spent time around too many sick people recently, totally worth it.

    But now I'm wondering what flu season will be like 😓

  14. Yes relax, Try and let food be just food now, with no control over you. Try to eat most things very moist and don't take unnecessary chances. Try to let go of those negative thoughts about the past and concentrate on the present and future

    For all who need a kick up the butt!

    I was getting this surgery by hook or by crook... I was not falling down at the mercy of insurance companies. I don't know who does but they should fight harder/smarter...

    Can we talk about staying hydrated?

    Early on it's harder but setting reminders and goals make it possible. All fluids count toward your hydration goal but water is superior and essential so you need the majority of it to be pure additive free water. I found drinking hot items like tea, coffee even broth went quicker than pure water making it easier to real the goal. I'm currently 10 months out and can drink like before surgery.
