Ha a tabbouleh craving. Made enough to feed an army. Put my hand in photo so you could get an idea how big the bowl is 😉. Sadly my hubby actually picked all the parsley out of his serving. He thought he liked tabbouleh 🙄 but, I guess not! -
AWESOME Arm Video (get rid of flabby arms)

If you want those circles at the beginning of the workout to have WAY more impact, don't point your hands out, point them up. (Straight arms, hands pointed 90 degrees up) -

Yes, the additional fats may have you pooping more. If you're not sensitive to sugars, you might add more fruits to your diet or starchy veggies. The fruits, in particular, are sliders and I know I can eat quite a bit. Maybe some banana or peaches? -

This was always my thought process. May have found a flaw in my thinking!

Lunch at TGI FRIDAYS. This was their $7 lunch deal with a LUNCH-sized cobb salad. It was huge. I felt no guilt whatsoever in eating all the goodies off the top and leaving the lettuce behind. -
I LOVE the snakeskin patterned ones! But we can't see through your shirt!

I think they look cute! All your outfits can't be your most flattering one. Some may not be the absolute best to show off your new figure, but they're still fun and playful. Go for it! (After hemming, of course 😉 )

Correction - forgot a couple of earlier surgeries - 22 total, I think! Uh-oh, hubby reminded me of another one - 26 and I'm not counting any more! I promise!

I counted - I think I have about 17! Looks like my belly got run over by studded snow tires!

Going out to lunch with a girlfriend 😁

Feeling cold, does it get better with time or a forever thing?
Orchids&Dragons replied to 2Bsmaller18's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
No, not just bypass. I was that way with the sleeve, too. I have found that my coldness now is inconsistent. I'll be cold for a while (maybe even hours), then warm up and take off the sweater. An hour later I'm cold again. So maybe I'm transitioning out of perpetual refrigeration? (Definitely not menopause and too far into the process for it to be estrogen releases from all the excess fat.)
