    Damn right & I would love to go braless, but can't imagine that being in the cards!

    Mine is very similar to yours. I'm almost a month post-op & they are healing well!.

    Did you have surgical tape put on? I'm almost 4 weeks out & just had the last one fall off. Different surgeons have different styles. You look great & I'm glad you are not in pain!

    I made this last night & absolutely love it!!! My recipe was a little different - smaller amounts & no egg, so a smaller portion & fewer calories, but basically the same. I baked at 350 degrees for 20 mins. but I might try broiling for the last 5 mins. So delicious! I think it will be my new fav!

    So true! I am almost 1-month post-op & have been plugging along. I was swollen in the beginning & did not check my weight again until the end of the 2nd week. I highly recommend that you give up the scale for now. It's a time to heal & not to really lose (at least someone said that to me & I liked it). Hang in there!

    Life Taken Away

    And more hearts & hugs ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗😌So sorry I can’t even imagine!
  8. I’m so frustrated in your behalf! Sorry you are not getting the necessary info from the ones who are supposedly know their stuff! Here’s what I learned: RNY 70-90 grams of Protein daily VSG 60-80 grams of Protein daily 64 oz of water daily (more if can & exercising) I’m suppose to be aiming for 600 calories daily (I’m about 3 weeks post-op). You are not done losing!!! You’ve got this & I’m glad you found this site!
  9. I love bullet journaling! I am not using one for this, but I probably will start now that you mentioned it. I do use a medicine/vitamin tracker that is pretty darn impressive (bullet journal style) but I keep it on a clipboard with my vitamins. I also received a very nice journal for Xmas from a friend. I changed the cover, added some washi tape & added my days before surgery, surgery day & post-op days. Each day I track (also use Baritastic App), I have the date, days post-op, doc notes, quotes, funny observations, recipe ideas, or products that I've heard about. I look forward to seeing what you do with yours. I agree, as much as I love the apps, there is something wonderful about paper & pen!

    Refrain from strenuous sex?

    You’ve got this! Remember to focus on the big picture & it will be worth it! I also think the pain is quickly forgotten. I’m on day 8 post-op & I’m feeling really good . I know how to get up & down, or pick up something without pain now. Yes, still healing, but what an opportunity to allow your body to rest and heal. The pain causes you to slow down & take care of yourself - how awesome is that ?! I never think I am that big, but obviously I’m big enough that surgery was a valuable tool. You’ve got this!!! I’ve not yet heard of anyone who has regretted this once they’ve healed. Don’t let fear stop you from making your health better- you are worth this!
  13. You should be so proud!!! You look great!
  14. This is the one I use also. So far I've added it to my pureed soups, yogurt & sometimes I'll just add it to my water. It seems to taste better than my powdered choc and vanilla.
