TBH, I'm not really hungry, I just seem to be having a wicked salty meat-y craving at the moment, and I'm doing something about it, ha. 27g of beef jerky + the lone slice of bacon leftover from the fam's breakfast this morning that none of them wanted to eat because it was too burnt: 120 calories total. Plopping in front of the TV to eat it all:

Yep, its that same Burrito. 🙄 Day 3 of working on this sucker and its pretty soggy now and probably unappetizing for most, but whatevs, I need to eat something. At least this is the last of it, and you (and I) don't have to look at at anymore. More Frank's Red Hot and sour cream: same estimated 230 calories. Ate it all.

First, how is is this Pho pic looking even more delicious than the first time you posted it?!?!?! Second, glad you got your hands on those wraps. I will continue to sulk in my Canadian Corner over the lack of access to cool grocery items. Third: I've never thought of getting a home use KBBQ !! What a fabulous idea. I have been in the market for a Japanese yakatori grill for years...after we went to a party once and our friends had the cutest little tabletop grill to cook for us. But I'm not convinced its the best to have charcoal burning indoors... Lemme know what KBBQ grill you end up with!

Ah, the tube boob. They are fine when they are "rolled up" into your bra (as mentioned by @catwoman7, lol), but kinda annoying when set free. Two words: Breast Lift (or Breast Augmentation!). Put all the money you would have spent on eating out in a jar (or better, a high-interest/return investment) and you'll end up with the funds for your choice ❤️

Bwha-hahahahahhaha. OMG. A long time ago I sent a pic to my daughter from a change room to lament how my back fat was oozing out of a dress I was trying on. She thought it was my cleavage.

Salads are ALWAYS exciting. Did you make the dressing?

for some reason, it didn't register to me the first time I read these, but: 1. @NovaLuna, you went from a 54 inch band to a 38?????? That is AMAZING lady...an effing 16" loss in your torso circumference is mind blowing (and you're not even done yet!). I can't find a "bowing" or "i'm not worthy" emoji so let's just pretend I inserted one here: ❤️. 2. @GreenTealael, I had to look up what an H was...that's a QUINTUPLE D 😳. Your back must have been made of steel....your boobs look fab now, so whatevs! (but whoa).

Ugh, I had terrible back AND hip pain starting around 1 month post op and it lasted for a few months (maybe 2-3 months if I remember correctly). I too chalked it up to my bones and musculature adjusting to the weight loss. It went away eventually...hoping yours does too ❤️

OMG, if they were candied onions, they would've been better...but they were just plain old fried onions...lol. I made sure to get the right container this time, thank goodness.

Couldn't find enough binder clips so am holding the material in the back myself and got The Kid to take my picture (she thinks I'm wacko). Doesn't look bad, eh? Decided I'm going to go get it taken in and have the sleeves removed (or maybe just tightened? they look a little matronly they way they are...) And then I'll have yet another dress that I can't wear anywhere! P.S. Check out my boobs! Gotta love how squishing them makes them look bigger, lololololzzzzz.

Eating my leftover burrito, 1/4-ish at a time. Added a few healthy splashes of Frank's Red Hot Sauce and a tbsp of sour cream: estimated 230 calories (ate it all).

LOL, yes, I meant "when you were bigger", sorry! As for determination of body types/shapes, I don't think it has to do with where the majority of your fat is located vs. your overall proportions. For instance, my measurements are 33.5(bust), 26(waist), 34(hips), and my legs seem to be the relatively fleshiest/densest part of my body. Based on these measurements, I should be a rectangle. BUT my shoulders are 36 (which have like zero fat on them) and this makes me an Inverted Triangle. In my neurotic research, a lot of calculators out there seem to ignore the shoulder measurements, which is weird, because the width of one's shoulders influences the overall visual shape. Take a gander at this article if you are bored: https://www.whowhatwear.com/how-to-find-body-shape-calculator This one is an easier read, and is Oprah, and she knows EVERYTHING...lololololzzz: https://www.oprah.com/style/whats-your-body-shape/all

Pics of last night's Brownie Batch Baking. I subbed half the required sugar with Stevia, as I'm thinking I am making too much dessert these days and I may be inadvertently fattening up the fam. I didn't end up eating any last night (but the fam sure did) as I opted for wine instead for an online party we attended. I did just have one of the peanut butter ones this morning and it was YUM...can't even tell it has 1/2 fake sugar (next time I'm going to go 100% Stevia): guestimating 100 calories

I'm 2+ years out. Mine got much better, but didn't totally go away. I'm used to it now (along with my burping and hiccups, lol)

Unfortunately, from what I understand, there is no real way to spot-lose or target fat loss to a specific body part, other than plastics. Generally, the first place you gain weight, is the last place to lose (while the rest of the body continues to get smaller). For me, its my legs. Even though I am pretty small (overall) now, my legs look bigger compared to the rest of my body. When you were smaller, was your bulk mainly in your midsection?

OMG. I wore a bra to bed to keep them in place. And to avoid the dreaded under-boob sweat. Yikes.

...double, triple, & quadruple AGREED

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

PSA: For those interested, write this down, as I had posted this info previously and it was removed 😥 (this may be removed as well....)

btw...i need more information on this item, pls!

Takeout for dinner tonite. Chicken & Steak Burrito w/ cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, red onions, jalapenos, cilantro, guacamole, corn, salsa & hot sauce. I meant to eat half of it, but I ate the first little bit way too fast and got the oh-too-familiar pressure in my chest. By the time the pressure went away, I was no longer interested. So unless someone in the fam eats it, it will be my meals for tomorrow (Plus I wanna save room for the brownies I'm currently baking in the oven, ha) Estimated calories for 135g: 200 calories.

I just used Google Translate. lolololzzzzz

K, I really intended to write up a post on my 2 year anniversary (back in October!), but just never got around to it. I did make/update a little "progress" pic collage about a month ago, that again, I had meant to accompany a better-late-than-never anniversary post, but yep, just didn't get around to it. Anyhoo....this pic has been sitting in my albums for over a month now, and since I honestly have no real intention to write up an anniversary post (I'm like 2 yrs + 4 months now, lol), I'm just gonna post it here so it doesn't go to waste: 2 weeks pre-op: 235.0 lbs Surgery Date weight: 223.1 lbs Goal Weight: 127 lbs (7 myths post op) Current weight: 113.9 (this morning) P.S. I'll try to do a proper anniversary post at the 3 yr mark...lol

can't wait to see some pics (if you are comfortable with that, lol)!

Its been over a year since I bought a bra (eff you Covid)....I just took my measurements and according to those, I should be wearing a 30C. At my biggest, I was a 38DDD. Collectively we all could have pooled our lost boob fat and opened up a soap store.
