Miralax. I put a scoop in my coffee and that helps when I get that way.

One of my neighbors (96 years young!) is recovering from surgery. Baked some Peanut Butter blossoms and chocolate Andes Chip Cookies to help cheer her up!

dinner last night. I ate ¼ - hubby had the rest. Love seeing salads, Green Tealael!!!! I eat one salad a day. Scoop of chicken salad in the center. Fresh, daily Fiber, greens, Protein and fruit essential to maintaining my sleeve. Avoid most processed sugar, salt and chemical additives that

Fellow short girl problems here, too! Haha. Welcome to Shrimpsville! Casual, warm, comfy (bottoms really work like support stockings for the bad knee and leg circulation issues) for errands and house site yesterday. Love the pockets! And, of course, they are much too long... so just wrapped them into the sneaker. It's exhausting to always be going to the seamstress for alterations! And, these were on a great sale - I wanted them to remain a bargain without additional alteration costs! Look too silly???

Yeah, the lighting sucks in my room. Here is a pic with the website model wearing it. Its hard to see in the pic but all the flowers are embroidered with sparkly sequins...

Its a private party at an event venue so as of right now we would only have to wear masks when we are outside the assigned room (i.e, bathrooms or other shared spaces), so that's good. No one is allowed inside the building unless they provide proof of full vaccination anyway. Pretty excited AND anxious to be indoors with so many people for the first time in almost 2 years. But who knows...we may get a Covid turn for the worse come winter and it will get cancelled anyway. Le Sigh.

@wishmesmaller
Velvet is a really hard material to wear and look good and you did it perfectly!! I’m so jelly of all of you gals with long legs!!!
You look amazing!!

Ok...this is the last of my most recent batch of online shopping orders. I promised myself that this will be it until at least after xmas...we shall see if I am a woman of my word.

I have a relatively fancy party coming up in the January and I couldn't resist adding yet another option to my slew of options I already have to wear. Help. Me.

@ms.sss no I know that pic wasn’t you but I’ve seen pics of you and you have the legs for that outfit for sure!

Yeah, lighting in my bedroom is not the greatest when its a cloudy day, lol.

Here is a pic of the dress on a model from the website. She's probably like 6 feet tall so the dress fits her better. The hemline and the sleeves and shoulder seams are way longer on me, the fit around my neck gapes a little and its quite loose at the waist where the bodice connects to the skirt. Basically its overall on the big side, but this is always an issue so I'm used to it. Ah, short girl problems.

As for the pencil skirt, yep, decided i'm keeping it and getting it taken in. I may try doing it myself...lol

Hey! I didn’t have bypass. I was sleeved. But I wouldn’t try to chug anything ever. Small sips/regular sip is what I always do.
I’m not sure if bypass pt feel restriction. But I will tell you head hunger is a real thing. I’d turn the channel when you see something that temps you or distract yourself with some type of activity, book, go for a walk etc
Learning how to do that is important I think. At least it was for me. Figuring out whether I just want something as opposed to actually hungry for it. Good luck to you! This app/forum I’ve found to be super helpful since my sleeve 3 years ago.

I work in the OR. I took two weeks off. Just be careful when moving patients over. Take the feet and let someone else do the sides.
I felt great a few days after surgery. I know it’s not always the norm but I had a pretty easy recovery and I was thankful for it. I hope you do as well. PM me anytime

Venturing back into egg territory! I give eggs up often because I don’t think I actually like them but they are considered a Breakfast staple.

Fluffy scrambled eggs, vegan sausage and French bread (not my plate as usual)

What is everyone’s favorite egg style?

The perfect opportunity to go do more shopping! Right? You definitely need an animal print in your wardrobe, ms.sss!!! This was the dress back when I was still losing at 135 pd - size 10/12. Have not done arm surgery yet. The skirt is at settled 118 - size 4/6.

Animal print shoes count too, for the fashion show! Fun.

That’s sounds a perfect job for you @Dtrain84 as it ties into your previous career as a police officer.

What a lovely photo of you & your daughter @kristieshannon. Her lace dress is so pretty. And I agree - you do look alike.

Had another visit with the hand therapy place today & decided to wear this slim fit panelled dress with cowl neckline & pouch at the hem. Skirt is very fitted though the hem restricting my stride so I had a real wriggle walk happening as I strutted down the street 😆 It was 5 weeks yesterday since I decided to add extra Protein to my quiche busy slicing a chunk off my thumb & it’s just about fully healed now (was still oozing a little from one spot until yesterday). Just dealing with some hypersensitivity & dry peeling skin. You can just see a faint line from the skin graft. I was so excited last week as I was finally able to put on a real bra for the first time - I just couldn’t do the hooks up before then without causing my thumb pain & discomfort. Such a silly little thing but boy you need your thumb for soooo much.

Very nice indeed @kristieshannon. And I’m not stunned it’s a size 4. You’re very slim. How did the date go?

Congrats on the new job, @Dtrain84. What does it entail?



Bought this rib knit skirt & top back in winter & finally wore it last week. And surplus it’s navy! The skirt has one of those sneaky high splits that you don’t notice until you sit down & hello. It’s actually higher than the 2nd pxt shows - reaches to a couple of inches below the knicker line.
