Thank you, Arabesque. So great to reconnect. Missed you! A crazy past few years... YES, I do look forward to the ability to dance waving arms unencumbered by weight + jiggle! The boys say hello. Any fun new outfits to model for us? Once slim new arms are healed... I do look forward to wearing these favorite cotton toile dresses with fitted arms without jean jackets. Yay!

Thank you, Lily. Congratulations on your surgery early 2024... 95 pounds off! How exciting. How do you feel? It has been a game changer for so many. ;]

Thanks Tea... Happy weekend!

Hi Summerseeker - (BTW, lily of the valley is my favorite flower!) thank you for reaching out. Thursday's surgery went well, and now begun the healing process. Somewhat sore, but tolerable and sleeping well. Even with compression garments (also had a reverse mini abdominal lift) - I can tell my arms are so much slimmer. Yay! The big reveal will be next Wednesday at follow-up with surgeon. Pain + various medications are keeping me comfortable.

🤔Does anyone have any advice for tomorrow's brachioplasty surgery... Down time? Function of your arms, hands, etc. the first week? Comfortable sleep position? Not sure what to expect? Many thanks! Sophie

😜😋Happy Fourth of July holiday weekend to our USA members! And, those across borders... do celebrate along with us with something really yummy! We are celebrating with Chicago styled hotdogs along with hubbies strawberry rhubarb pie. Threw in a healthy salad for good measure!

Hubby grilled this tomahawk steak Father's day. It was amazing! We are enjoying the leftovers this week. Pair it with homemade broccoli and cauliflower salads - for a lighter touch side dish. Can only tolerate about 10 tiny bites of beef at a meal.

I love rice, too! - Cannot tolerate but a few bites. I really miss brown and wild rice mixtures. ;[

Continue to keep us posted - if he makes the cut! You look wonderful...

Southern style dinners for the ladies! Plenty of delish leftovers...

Works of art, indeed!

YES! Let's do this... East or West coast!? I vote for California ;]

My Happy Birthday dinner + lunch Memorial weekend celebration with some of my favorite people! Love turkey and dressing outside the holidays... And, dessert nibbles shared by four. Green Tealeah's lemon custard honey cake (gluten free) was to die for!

It does get better FD... WE PROMISE! Stay the course. Your rewards will be abundantly worth every stage (I liked the mocha and chocolate mint Premier Proteins) to normalcy as a healthier, happier, slimmer you! Go back to earlier pages on this thread to find stages that may be encouraging to you.
