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.

I'm a sleever. I *think* I had dumping once (and once only!) after drinking some lemon soju back over Christmas. It came about 5-10 minutes after drinking it (wave of nausea, need to barf, then was in the washroom number-two-ing for about 30 minutes). Yuck. Didn't do that again.

CHAAAALLLLENGE!

OK, I'll bite, what's happening on Thursday?

It's not just you...I only really drink hot water now; I may take sips of cold water if its in front of me, but I can't drink as much of it as I can when its hot.

Surgery: VSG (just a little over 5 months post op, still losing...) Starting weight: 146.4 Goals: Get to 135 lbs (which would mean a 100 lbs loss for me since October!) && increase strength training time/amount. Right now I do maybe 20-30 mins twice a week, I want to do more. #1 Something I'm proud of today: I am getting so much better at remembering the steps in Zumba. I didn't feel as stupid as I normally do this morning at class.

omg i'm so looking forward to putting on a wetsuit and not having to choose from the men's selection because none of the womens' sizes fit me before.

AAAAwesome.

Im sorry you are having a crappy time. Did you consider maybe seeing another Dr/getting a second, third, fourth opinion?

wow. looking good, lady. congrats on your weight losses so far ♥️

Again, thanks @GreenTealael for taking the time to organize and manage these...I know it takes time and effort and its appreciated ♥️ I didn't do the daily participation this month, but I DID read it almost every day and kept up with everyones updates. Despite my non-posting, I did complete the "No Junk Food" challenge (its really my natural state anyway). And I did get into the 140's...I finished off March at 146.9 lbs, (a loss of 11.2 lbs for march )

So exciting! 11 lbs is not far to go. I'm about 26lbs to goal and and started looking at PS options...I can't decide what to do first...how did you decide?

...oooh and I guess will this one too...🥴

Will check this out, thx for the tip...

You are only 5 lbs to goal!! (at least what's stated on the sidebar)...that must feel amazing 😁 My hair had started to shed around month 3...so I chopped it all off and it looks less thin now...hopefully it starts to come back soon...
