ms.sss

oops. baked before i read this. 😐

#6 Bake Cookies for a Friend. Chocolate Chip Cookies (the REAL kind) for my BFF and her fam. Of course, Mr. and the Kid smelled them and insisted on keeping half the batch for themselves and eating them for breakfast. Damn their athletic metabolisms and bottomless-pit-stomachs! This is what is left. I assume they were delicious (they certainly smelled nice).

*smacks lips*

...the seaweed snacks are missing....

I'm a little over 5 months post op and I carry the following everywhere I go: beef jerky, a day's worth of vitamins & a thermos. Earlier when I was newly sleeved, I would also carry around a mix bottle with a scoop of protein powder in it, and fill it with water if/when I needed it.

omg i have to do this.

2 NSV's at my checkup today: 1) my body fat percentage is 31% which puts me in the "acceptable"/"average" range for women. yay! 2) i have a thigh gap (of sorts)! had to take off my clothes and stand with my feet 6-8" apart, and lo and behold light could be seen shining between my legs (ok, that sounded weird).

Wow wow wow. 111 lbs is 6 months is AWESOME. Congratulations!!! I hear you about sizing...its so inconsistent among stores. But its fun to shop now, isn't it?

#5 Take a long deep breath. Done. 😁 That was easy. Went to my 6th month post op check up today with my nutritionist, nurse and social worker (3 weeks early, as I had to reschedule my appts), and all's good so far, other than that my NUT wants me to eat more carbs/fibre as she would like me to poop more, she didn't talk about calories this time, which was different. Lab work done a well, but won't get results until a couple weeks.

A pre-plastic-surgery Leah Remini...which is weird because I'm asian.

EDIT: I see you posted this on another thread, so I removed my original response so as not to have duplicates

#4 Exercise: Went to gym after dropping the Kid off at school, did 20 mins upper body strength training with free weights (arms, shoulders, back, chest). Then went to Hot Yoga (1 hour) Later tonite, after the fam has dinner will do my daily 5km walk around the neighbourhood.

You. Are. A. Beast! 😮

The length of time it takes me to eat. Sometimes i just want to hurry it up already (at which i will get rewarded with some awesome foamies), and other times I just want to just say F it, i dont want to keep having to eating this. I’m always the last person eating, and I feel like I’m drawing attention to myself, amplified by the miniscule portions on my plate.

Yes, pics pls ❤️

Boo. The kid had too much homework tonite, so operation lash lift will have to wait until maybe the weekend.

Try not to be so hard on yourself...everyone steps off plan at some point or another. Chalk it up as a mistake and go back on track Hope you feel better soon

I would kill for some chicken hair right now.

I'm 5'1", and lost 7.4 lbs in week one post-op. (I actually lost more on week one of my pre-op diet: 8.8 lbs. Go figure)

I had a the sleeve. My hair started shedding at month 3. I had really long hair, and I felt like the weight of it emphasized the thinness at my scalp, so I chopped it all off and it looks so much better (i.e., fuller). I just passed my 5 month mark, and while I don't notice any further thinning, I don't notice any new growth yet either. I guess I'll just keep my hair short until it does start to grow back *crosses fingers*.

Ooohh i did a class on this at a bachelorette party. Was so much fun...go out and buy yourself one of those hip scarves with the metal bits that make clinky noises...they induce the sexy feels

#3 Learn Something New: Ok, so I'm tired of spending money on eyelash extensions. I love them, as I don't feel the need to wear any mascara or eyeliner when I have them on. I wake up in the morning and bat my eyelashes in the mirror and feel beeee-u-ti-fuI (everyone should try it at least once...I did and was hooked, and I only get the natural looking kind, not the thick "glamour" ones). Anyway, I am an eye-rubber so I tend to rub those babies off prematurely and have to get refills, so the $$$ adds up (the Kid, on the other hand, managed to have her first one last for almost 4 months - she is definitely NOT an eye-rubber). Anyhoo...so today, the something new I (actually the Kid and I) are going to learn is how to do lash lifts (i.e., lash perms) on my eyelashes with this kit I bought. I had lash lifts done before I was doing extensions, and the results are pretty good, not as good as extensions, but good enough; lifts are also less expensive than extensions. But...if I/we do it at home, its even cheaper! Cross your fingers that my lashes don't get fried. Or fall off. Or I go blind.

#2 Start a Journal: Like @seaforest, I only tend to journal when I'm feeling sad or angsty. So gonna pass on this one. B-Side : Who still uses Protein supplements to get to the daily goal? Me! Me! I have a scoop of Dutch Chocolate Isopure Whey Protein powder with 400ml of water almost every day usually mid-afternoon.
