@AmberFLCant wait for the update!

Hey everyone everyday is a Win..in the baratric world we know everyday we have to either get fluids in, eat enough protein etc, ...what is your win for today? My Win is being consistent on my bariatric journey and movement, I have made it a goal to move almost daily!

@ShoppGirl the good thing about life and having the tool is we can always reset. Identify what needs to change and then start changing. Like yesterday I was like girl your eating to many sunflower seeds for some reason I like to drive and eat them before you know it I'm through the entire bag. So I'm not going to buy them anymore. I can always reset. Trust me I understand you, this journey is not EASY.

8 months post opp today ALL I can say is WOW. My win is staying consistent on this bariatric journey; obesity is a lifelong disease. Every day I have to be intentional. I can say I have fell in love with eating with intention. I have fell in love with the fact that the foods that I eat now nourish my body when I was larger I was eating all kinds of crap.

You go girl! Looking great!

Reporting a Win! Ya girl have not let's say in years been able to get away from the 16, 18, 22, 24 Wide Jeans in years!!! Whoop Whoop bring out the HORNS shopping today and I am NOW in I guess you would say regular sizes 😂😂...No plus attached. I've never had these many jeans to save my life. You know when you are larger you rotate your favorite pair of big jeans over and over!

@NeonRaven8919 that is awesome! Winning!

I think it's always Good to talk about GRIEF and anger. Yesterday I was driving around Houston Texas running errands and the overwhelming grief took hold. If anyone has visited Texas you know our food is TOP tier so much seasoning so much flavor. I grieve not pulling in the drive thru after shopping. (Taco Bell, What-A-Burger, Shipleys Donuts)! I GRIEVE OUR ever so plentiful TACO TRUCKS at 2am where I would order 10 street tacos and a burrito with the red/green sauce I grieve boba TEA I grieve the comforts I grieve just being able to drink alot at one time. Who knew that a few sips of water could make you so full In noticing the griefs you become aware of how addicted you were to the food and the feeling. Sighs*

I'm so tired of this gurgling sound when I eat! About 8 months post opp VSG. Makes me not want to eat. Grieving my normal stomach then again my normal stomach allowed me to eat to much 😡😡😡😡

I'm so excited when US bariatric hotties do something HOT for ourselves! I'm with ya consult Jan 2nd. I'm shooting for some big Full C's medium profile with silicone. I got tons of pics of boobs in my phone ha. What size are you going?

@AmberFL Good thing about new months or even the next day we can always RESET! Awesomeness. Meal preparation is definitely a win you are setting yourself up for success. I am so excited about those boobies! Let us know how it goes!

December Win and Reset thoughts: a win is not being small and cutting those who want to dim your light off. Letting go is also growth. #winning by cutting people off 🤷🏽‍♀️ Loved this post!

I would say that I've always been easy on the eyes I'm not sure why people feel uncomfortable saying they are attractive. Im a very blunt person. I noticed when I was much larger even with being easy on the eyes the MALE gaze was not as strong as it is now. Sometimes the Male Gaze was none-existent to be honest. The old me (date 5 and break all 5 hearts) wants to resurface. It astounds me now how men will literally make a 360 in a store, gas station, they could even be with a significant other. Where was this male gaze when I was hitting 313 pounds? What does this say about men and what they presume as attractive? How does your current spouses/boyfriends feel about your weight loss? Any breakups?

I don't know if any of you experienced this WIN but my WIN is actually looking small in photos. Photos are tricky, I still hate taking pictures, I am soooooo not photogenic. Recently we took pics for my mother's birthday and I was like damn girl you look small. Photos can make you look large ALL the TIME, but I guess I've finally crossed over to the lighter side.

I love this @AmberFL! You will have fun shopping! Girl this is so Beautiful! People don't understand how hard it is Pre WLS to find jeans. Well atleast it was no fun for me! Jean shopping is so much funnier now!! #yourwinning 🏆.

@summerseeker that is a Beautiful WIN 🏆😊. I chuckled a bit at the "grey hound" ribs comment. I feel you 100%...I walk around daily thankful for science. If it was not for medical science we would not have this awesome tool. #winning

@Justarwaxx Winning major WIN! 🏆

thanks! I'm so glad more studies are being done. Such a multifaceted Dis-Ease!

I never In my life heard the Words Cottage Cheese used so much until I entered the Bariatric community. MY GOSH cottage cheese never was what I called a tasty cheesy treat lol. As time went on I see that cottage cheese packs a lot of protein and I have slowly started to enjoy whole Milk cottage cheese. How do you use cottage cheese? What are your recipes? Do you even like cottage cheese? lol it is an aquired taste for sure 😂😂

As we know MOVEMENT can be an important aspect of the bariatric journey! I credit a lot of my rapid weight loss to the fact that I love movement. Movement is freeing, it helps the mental as well as the physical. What movement do you do daily? What movement do you enjoy? How often? Post pics if you like!

@NeonRaven8919 Love that! That is definitely movement 🏆.

@Bypass2Freedom I am so excited to hear that! Im not sure why I get excited when people report their movement 😂. I am glad your body is cooperating with you now! Winning 🥇

My favorite topic SEX ❤️😊

Welp Ladies and Gents my poor Fanny pack is hanging on for dear life: I walk/run every morning and I have it as tight as it could go! Lol I will have to see what else I can find online. #Winning 🎖️🏆

@AmberFL ohhhhh I forgot I'm excited about your boobs lol! Thanks it's hard but REAL....soo Only water 😩💪🏼
