My problem areas are my breasts and tummy, followed by arms and thighs. All of which can be hidden under clothes. I’m having PS in January to address the boobs and tummy just for my own vanity and I want to wear bikinis! I’ll take the loose skin over fat any day though!!

Another tip is to take your time eating, and stop eating the second you feel restriction. Don't swallow another bite. I have even gone so far as to spit out food that was already in my mouth b/c I felt restriction. It's that extra bite of food that tends to cause the pain (at least for me).

I’m not usually a fan of 100 calorie packs, but these ones are great. From Aldi of course. lol! Not too much nutritional value but very yummy and satisfies sweet tooth. Also pretty filling (which I don’t usually find to be the case with 100 calorie snack packs). -
Love to see long term success stories!!! Thank you for the inspiration!!!

There is a Chinese brand called Cheji, and they are all over ebay and Amazon. I swear they are as good as the high end brands when it comes to padding, etc. They are really inexpensive too!! Also, the more you ride, the tougher your sit bones will get!

Congratulations on your success, and thank you for the inspiration!!!

2 weeks out from surgery got the green light for soft foods
ChubRub replied to newmeapproaching's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Greek Yogurt, Ricotta cheese bake or ricotta w/ vanilla extract if I want it sweet, scrambled eggs. As for protein shakes, have you tried Fairlife yet? They are really good, My fave is strawberry banana. -
Looks great. Love the purse too!

Thanks! Thighs are a mess though (loose skin). Hoping LBL will fix it a little. In the meantime, I'll get tighter pants to compress it all in!

Surgery TOMORROW! SO nervous! Hospital must haves
ChubRub replied to Itsmehab's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Phone, charger, and chapstick was pretty much all I needed! You will basically sleep for 18 hours, then it will be time to go home! LOL!! -
Yesterday and today’s outfits. I’ve discovered my new look is tight pants with a flowing top. Accentuate the positive, and hide the jiggly bits. Lol!

They go by your starting weight!! My surgeon said I could lose as much as I was able to prior to surgery. Good luck!!!

Thank you!! I am feeling more comfortable in my own skin every day. I still have 10lbs to go, but I just hit "healthy" in the BMI range, so I feel like I'm playing with the house's money!

I took multiple naps per day for the first 2 months! It's normal!! Enjoy the naps!! LOL!!

What are you thankful for this week? - 8/31/2020
ChubRub replied to Pandemonium's topic in The Lounge
I'm grateful that my husband and I are able to work from home during COVID. I'm grateful for the extra time I've been able to spend with my children. I'm grateful for my health, and for my new body that's able to keep up with the active person that has always been inside me. -
Happy to finally join this thread. Wish I was wearing something more glamorous for my first post. Heading to Aldi. Lol!

Choosing between surgeries
ChubRub replied to Chrissylynn80's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I chose bypass b/c I had a history of GERD, and knew the sleeve would only make the GERD worse. Happy to say I'm GERD-free since the bypass! It's weird to not carry TUMS in my purse anymore! -
