ms.sss

Smokes! You’ve done phenomenally!!!!!! Congratulations 🥳

Well what a coincidence! I bought Mr. one of those outdoor pizza ovens for Father's day so this definately going to be tried out this weekend!!! thanks!!!

Dusted off my running shoes and a pair of running pants this morning. According to my fitness app, it has been 118 days since I last went for a run (yikes!). Finally went for one this morning, and whoa, I'm outta shape. Got winded after like 20 mins so we spent about an hour "resting" at a lookout instead. LOL.

its been a while...been busying myself with some long awaited patio and pool time, the weather has been awesome, and our area finally opened up outdoor dining! yay! @kristieshannon: that red top and jeans outfit make you look super slim. and i love love your jean jacket/dress outfit. I would totally wear that, sunglasses on head and all. @starladustangel: congrats on the smaller sizes! time to get some slimmer-fitting clothes to show off the new bod @GreenTealael: funny how adding a scarf to an LBD makes the outfit look so much more shi-shi...and expensive, lol. Your side-a$$ curve is va-va-voom @smarks: hubba hubba! I'm going to steal that crochet duster of yours. @WishMeSmaller: wowza! even with the swelling you are looking fab. the boobs! and of course your legs! more bikini shots pls. are you feeling better these days? @Ellie64: um, that "halloween" dress should see more days than just halloween...you look great in it. @Dtrain84: lookin sharp as always. happy belated birthday!

I ate “normally” right up until the 2 week pre-op diet, so i didn’t lose (nor try to lose) any weight. I did lose 11lbs during that 2 week pre-op diet though.

In the beginning, I set a goal of 120lbs because this would put me smack dab in the middle of a "normal" weight range for my height. By the time I got down to 127lbs, I decided that was enough as I felt I was looking too thin. Now fast forward 2 years after reaching modified goal of 127, and I now weigh 112 as of this morning. The funny thing is that I actually don't think I look as thin/gaunt now as i did at 127 lbs two years ago. Soooo...I think that weight loss and/or maintenance goals in terms of total actual weight fluctuates over time because the distribution and composition of those pounds may look different at different times. I think. These days so long as my clothes don't start feeling tight I'm good, lol.

Love the foods! Do you make your own kimchi???

You can still be a strong, independent woman who flirts with bartenders 😉

I hope you find a way to stress bake sans the stress. It all looks so good but this one has me salivating 🤤🤤

Was cleaning out the (very cluttered) basement and unearthed a couple of boxes filled with clothes from my old university days! Found this gem which used to be my fave clubbing dress back when I had much bigger boobs. I don’t think I have the balls to wear this out of the house now (its pretty skimpy! Esp from the back), but truth be told, I was feeling all that and TWO bag of chips walking around the house in it earlier!

You look so good! This dress is super flattering on you. Im actually going to enjoy vicariously living through you as go on dates and (hopefully) post lots of date outfits!!! Fab-U-lous 😍

...Also, don't forget about some exercise to help things firm up a bit (and stay that way-ish). The weeks/months immediately after weight loss phase I thought I was pretty flappy/gaunt/saggy pretty much everywhere. The plastic surgery 6-7 months into maintenance helped alot of course, but I also think the regular exercise I was doing during that time was also a factor. Case in point: my inner thighs were much firmer-looking around 3-4 months into maintenance, but now, after several months of minimal exercise, I am alot flappier there again. Sigh. Although I am about 3-4 lbs less than what I was after plastics 1.5 years ago, so that may also be a factor?? *shrugs*

Lol, im totally a potty-mouth too! My cursing rivals the great Samuel L. Jackson on some days 🤣🤬🤬🤬🤣

HOE. LEE. SHYTT. 😳😳😳😳 You look EFFING amazing in those perfectly fitted jeans!!!!!! JEE. ZUS. YOUR. LEGS. There aren’t many people I am legitimately jealous of (because I am just so full of myself, its actually quite difficult to accomplish lol)...but you and your legs def make the list. WOWZA.

We were driving out and about today, and had an impromptu lunchtime picnic of Fish n' Chips with Mr. this afternoon at some random park. I ate almost 1/2 that halibut fillet in the box and maybe 10 or so french fries with gravy...am estimating 300 calories for what I ate. Mr., on the other hand had 2 fillets, all his fries, my remaining 1/2 fillet and both our cole slaws. Its funny, cuz it wasn't that long ago that I could probably have eaten as much as he did, but now its like unheard of.

Am tip-toeing again to artificially add to my height...! Went "farmers-marketing" with Mr. this morning...also tried to do a mini-hike in some woods, but I was wearing flip-flops, so it didn't last long. P.S. I am realizing that alot of my clothes look the same...cropped fitted tops, tight pants, solid colours in black/grey or blue/khaki/ or white (or denim). Methinks its time to do more shopping and expand my wardrobe...

I still nauseous from time to time (i'm 2.5 years out) but its always because of too much sugar. Even worse when its too much sugar on an empty stomach.

Hi! Welcome to forums! You will find a wide range of answers to this one as everyone is sooooo different. With that said, I lost 11 lbs in 2 weeks. I had 2-3 protein shakes a day, and nothing else. Also, I started off at 235 lbs on day 1 of liquid diet (5'2" female, was 46 at time of surgery)..oh, and I didn't lose any weight prior this.

Humph. I like my tenders fully clothed lololzzz. How did they turn out??

Today's salad lunch (though there are barely any actual greens in this thing, lol) Romaine, carrots, cucumbers, figs, apples, feta, cranberries, pumpkin seeds, ginger-green onion mix, pan-fried chicken and grilled salmon 417 calories for the whole thing. Ate about 1/3 of it, will definitely be eating the rest later.

Speaking of fish skin...picked this up at Costco this morning. I haven't had this particular brand before, but i've had the flavour...YUM. It's crazy high in calories, so probably not for those in weight loss phase:

5'2" (technically just a little under 5'1.75", lol) and I started out at 235lbs at the start of my 2-wk pre op diet. That put me at BMI 43. Got to BMI 23 (i.e., goal) at about the 7 month mark. I'm 2.5 years post op today and sitting at BMI 20. Here are my progress pics during the first 2 years....
