Like weight loss before and after photos but of your new diet ! I'm especially interested in before and after meal photos (take a pic at the point you feel restriction) but it can be of recipe substitutions, your refrigerator/pantry/shopping cart/etc VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 167

Big decisions ahead! I think the size you choose should be according to lifestyle and personal style. Do you feel more comfortable with a larger cup size? Are you going for any particular silhouette?Since this is reconstructive will the implants be over or under the muscle? I wish you had more time to think but since you do not, try looking at models with a similar frame as you. As @ms.sss pointed out, cup sizes and band sizes look different than what we think especially when implants are thrown into the mix. Here are pics of me with a wide frame and small bust. The range is 38B and 36B (maybe A) , I had a breast lift without implants (surgeon wanted to place implants in a separate stage, maybe one day but I like being smaller now because my largest pre WLS size was 44G) It’s possible that you may go back to a 32 band size at your lowest weight, 34/36 was my lowest band size ever. Good Luck!

Me! A few years ago i did this, honestly it’s was not nearly as swollen as a TT so i just moved a bit slower in and out of sitting positions. Other than that, lots and lots of pillow for support. Sitting was immediate for me (bathroom etc) but you could alternate laying on your stomach and sitting for a while.

I have clearly watched too much TV in my lifetime: In "Grey's Anatomy," a storyline that features pain when eating often relates to a condition called Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS), where a ligament compresses the celiac artery, causing pain particularly after eating due to the stomach expanding; this was highlighted in a few episodes, raising awareness about this often-misdiagnosed condition.

Homemade Crispy Gochujang Korean Tofu w/ broccoli and cucumbers No calories counted because I don’t want to know 😁 I did go light on the sauce then added a little more on top.

That’s a feast for the eyes oh and the food looks good too 😝

I absolutely did talk about it if I thought things were getting serious because I started dating (again) right after surgery so my weight and eating style was still in flux. But further out it did/does not really seem matter. I am in a long term relationship now but if I wasn’t, I probably would not even bring it up unless I thought it was going to be a serious relationship.

Looking great! Very colorful and fun! I also stay away from looser clothes because I feel restricted by all of the additional folds of fabric, movement and noise they create. But I’m trying to let go of the extreme form fitting clothes too because they are beginning to feel restrictive in a different way.

And you’re already at 2.4mg? Weird. The dose escalation schedule is every 4 weeks beginning at 0.25mg, but either way here’s an interesting article: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/21/health/glp-1-weight-loss-drugs-stop-treatment-real-world-effectiveness

Congratulations and speedy recovery ❤️

Very best of luck to you and hopefully you can ring the bell soon ❤️

Congratulations!

We (I) demand (beg for) more pics!

Looking fit!

When did you start these meds? November?

How so?

Which books are we reading in 2025?

Homemade nutella and whipped cream Blintz for my BF 😍

Pretty little matcha latte from my favorite bakery/cafe

I chose sleeve over bypass because at the time it was considered a safer profile surgery with the same effectiveness. I had other medical conditions I needed to focus on and could not risk dealing with complications. It still makes sense to that past nervous version of me. However this version of me (which needed to be revised from sleeve to bypass from complications from sleeve 🤣) would choose differently. All things considered, All things being equal and if I had to choose again I would pick bypass over sleeve (especially if I was a self pay patient or my insurance excluded revisions).

The maintenance doses of Semaglutide for chronic weight management are 1.7mg and 2.4 mg. If you haven’t reached those doses yet, then that’s the goal before you can determine if it’s not working as expected (which for some people it may not work). What is your current dose? https://www.wegovy.com/taking-wegovy/dosing-schedule.html?showisi=true&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=wegovy&utm_campaign=1_All_Shared_BR_Wegovy_Core&mkwid=s-dm_pcrid_645689011667_pkw_wegovy_pmt_p_slid__product_&pgrid=148965952281&ptaid=kwd-1296426939242&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAABWNcsk_Vrk4rb9ObcxDKFUu6OZHy&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4L67BhDUARIsADWrl7HM5Z15-B65VZSJkFvcsdpvjEpsfTBEfdP0BJGzjFepWdgBossbMHgaAnCxEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

I did not mainly because I wasn’t really hungry. My focus was on hydration and protein intake. I mainly did full liquids/thicker liquids, then I progressed to soft foods at the appropriate time. What is considered puréed on your instructions? It may have been considered soft foods on mine.

Mostly protein shakes, yogurt and soups.

5’ 3” too! But I think my line would say perfectly practical 🤣

This color looks GREAT on you!
