I like how you celebrate, I'm definitely going to get a few new pairs of shoes! Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

OK you just gave me hope I'll going to google lifting and create a plan get when further away from 200lbs , I can't stand cardio anyway Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

yes you're right I'll try to be more patient , I didn't gain it all in three months can't expect to lose it at that rate. I just HATE how expensive bras can be. I get them from Lane Bryant and they don't always stand up to washing and drying despite how much care I take to protect them (and I refuse to wear dirty undergarments ). I'm seriously going to look into the bra brands mentioned in this thread Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

I agree I should have taken more full body pre op photos I have like 2. I may start documenting with photos starting now Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

OK so I'm stealing this one right away Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

Oh how wonderful! No more babies for me But for sure I plan to practice [emoji41] Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

I think I had a few unreasonable expectations, I thought I would instantly have boundless energy and my silhouette would reshape itself. I'm just the same mellow yet slightly smaller version of myself, but I'm not complaining. I guess I'm wondering if everyone goes in and comes out the same person (aside from the new diet ) Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

You are too kind! Thank you so much. Can't wait for you to join us on the "losers bench" Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

Congrats! You are doing great ! I just made it to Onederland (199) my highest weight ever was around 270. I began this process at around 250 and on surgery day (11/7/17) I was 238. Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

OK so I thought I lost a few cup sizes... Nope I went from a 44H to a 42G, and that's with 50 lbs of weight loss ... Le Sigh Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

Leave it blank and talk about it only if it's brought up Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

2 months is a long time to stall in the beginning, what has your surgeon or nutritionist said about this? Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

Can you give us an idea of what you eat and drink in a typical week? Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was in pain until my port was removed (10 days post op ) then almost instantly I felt better Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

OMG I remember those days... I made it as easy as possible by using technology Breadmachine, crockpot etc. Now my children are in charge of some of the work! Yay for teenagers Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks! I was looking for a few around the web but I didn't like what I found. Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

Premier caramel shake added to coffee Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

Turns out when I did the maths I was stalled for about a month, how are you doing now? Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

Amazing thanks ! I'm going to try the cold vegetable dishes Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

I no longer tolerate certain items, they run right through me. When I feel overdue, I eat them and then almost instantly I'm fixed lol Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

Some surgeons forbid the use of straws ever again. I hear it's about gas some say makes you drink too quickly But for me It's the only I'm going to get cold fluids in. So far no negative effects for me but I would never advocate for people to disregard their doctors orders so I added that disclaimer Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app

I didn't totally go back in and reboot the stages, I just added things back in from previous stages like adding protein powder or shake to hit chocolate or oatmeal. I'm still doing shakes every day and this may remain forever in my routine (I'm only three months out btw) I was able to commit to creamer or half and half forever so it's a nice trade And by using it in coffee I easily reach Protein goals by lunch where as before I was struggling at 9pm trying to get more in. And now I maybe able to return to my previous vegetarian lifestyle (ovo lacto) in about 2 months when see my surgeon again which is my first goal now Sent from my N817 using BariatricPal mobile app
