Yesterday Sunday, March 1st Maintenance : 5'2" / 1.33 yrs PO Sleeve / 115.0 lbs ---------------------------------------- Went to an Italian buffet for Mr's grandma's Bday. Its really not worth it for me to eat at buffets, nor was I really interested in the spread that was on offer, so I opted out of eating and drank 2 vodka caesars instead (I ate some garnish! hahha). Mr. joined me in solidarity and skipped the buffet and just had a couple beers himself. Its funny cuz some relatives commented afterwards that the next time we get together for buffet, they are just going to order drinks too, LOL. ---------------------------------------- 9:00am - 1/2 skinny tea latte 11:00am - 5 chicken wings + 1tbsp hot sauce 3:00pm - 2 vodka caesars (each one had a gherkin + a mini pepperette as garnish...which I ate off the first one, but my nephew ate the garnish off the second one, LOL) 7:00pm - salad greens w/ vinaigrette + 1 oz orange segments + 3 chicken wings + 2.5 oz pan fried chicken in bacon fat 10:00pm - 3 chicken wings + 1 tbsp BBQ sauce + 1/4 of a cherry shortbread square + 2 fl oz Amaretto --------------------------------------- Totals: 1371 cals - 76g Protein - 99g NET carbs - 58g fat ---------------------------------------

What the?!?!....and in swoops Sophie for the-come-from-nowhere-WIN. All hail Sophie queen of the world, LOL You guys look GREAT!!!! I'm so jealous!!!! Can you photoshop me into that picture???? Edited to add: See next post...😎

Ah, I didn't realize you had a TT too! Ok, so yeah, laying flat will be difficult I took my first shower 1 week post op (gross!) with the help of Mr., only because he was afraid I would pass out. After that I showered by myself, but he hung around in the bathroom to keep an eye on me "just in case" for a few times. I got really tired in there really quickly, so i brought in a little stool that I would sit on while I showered. It helped alot. I probably would have been able to cook for myself by end of first week, I just chose not too, LOL. I milked the "take care of me" attitude the fam had for me as much as I could. I took me while to be able to reach up though. At around 6-8 weeks, I was still asking them sometimes to get stuff up top for me, or I would use a stool to get up and reach high stuff. I would say I am maybe 75% normal now. I can reach everything with no help nor pain (but I can still feel tightness in my arms. I can stand totally straight up and get up from a seated position without stiffness, but I still feel tightness below my incision, specifically on my pubis. I feel like skin there is so pulled tight! In terms of the "muffin top" I too started wearing the binder over clothes. I wear a compression tank top (spanx like), then my abdominal binder, then my underwear, then whatever pants are the menu that day. Oh, and then I put on my arm compression garment. The arm garment is too big for me now to offer any real compression, but I wear it anyway. Maybe the other TT folks can weight in on their recovery. I think mine was/is on the slow side. P.S. Listen to your doc and dont push yourself to do more. I did and totally regret it.

@KaysMommy I love your photoshoot outfits!! And your hat! Love it. @BayougirlMrsS Side profile lookin' hot! Your tummy is so F.L.A.T.! Is that the buck 40 shirt? @Sophie7713 You need to tell me where you got that jacket, please. And does it come in grey or black????? @Charlie-Ann :

Oh no! I was at that party a couple weeks ago. It's not so much fun...LEAVE! That's pretty good that you can hit the horizontal level so soon! But I hear ya on the fact that alot of things are difficult without the full use of our arms. I know you already know this, but it does get better. I couldn't lie flat in bed for along time (maybe 6-7 weeks post op), but that was because of my tummy tuck, not my because of the arm lift. What is preventing you from laying flat?

Sometimes I make good choices late-night-snacking choices, sometimes I do not, LOL. And yeah, I've always been a horrible sleeper/insomniac/night owl. Even before wls surgery. But it was worse back then because I would snore and wake myself up or have to get up and pee 5-6 times a night. At least now when if/when I go to sleep, I can stay asleep longer than an hour. My problem is getting to sleep.

Salad, raw veggies, cooked veggies, Yogurt, cottage cheese, berries, chia pudding, eggs, nuts, nut butters, avocados, beef jerky, soups.... ...or whatever leftovers you have in the fridge from the meal you couldn't finish earlier, lol

Nice STEMS. 😍

The building across the street is a community centre. The Kid learned to swim there when she was teeny tiny! And of course you can come visit anytime, even with your tattoo-less arms and plain socks ❤️. And if you are really jonesing for some snow, then you are in luck...we were dumped with 15cm of the stuff since I took that first picture. That 8:30pm snow bank that Mr. created from shoveling our driveway is almost taller than me (and he still has to shovel some more!) I cannot wait for spring.

I drink sparkling water all the time, since about 2-3 months out. No probs for me.
