Nice try, but I'm convinced you have bigger boobs, and I have bigger everything else!

Haha! Well I have foobs cuz the original pair tried to kill me. Lol so they will stay the same but losses in my chest measurement really measure fat loss in my back and loss of lymphedema Fluid in my left side chest. Lol. The PS made me get DD's even tho I wanted smaller ones cuz he said anything smaller would look odd cuz of my size and how wide my chest and shoulders are. I so wish they were smaller cuz I don't have much skin and they are painfully tight.

Well, painfully tight doesn't sound like fun. But the silver lining is they don't have the deflated thing going on, like so many of us.

When I decided to have WLS, I knew that it would be followed by PS. I figured tummy/boobs/lipo for sure. But now I'm reconsidering the boobs a little. I mean they aren't what they used to be, but they're not too bad!

Stew Beef, chicken, sweet potatoes, mixed veggies

West Indies food

Only meal for today (oh and cheesecake) will eat between the hours of 2-8pm

@GreenTealael that looks super delicious!

[FluffyChix 17,415]

@sillykitty I think you should totes get new girls. Mine is pretty atypical. 🙂

@green tealael that looks so yummy!! So is that a small takeout container and that's all you will eat today? I've said it before--I have restriction envy. I feel like I eat like a horse!!! 😦☹️😢

Thanks ... I was actually reconsidering because I've gotten some compliments as of late on them, in their natural state, lol. So it made me think maybe they're not so bad?

I also really, really hate porn boobs (no offense to those who love them!), so I have to really careful about picking a surgeon who can give me very natural ones. So the thought of being stuck w boobs I hate makes me anxious.

Yes small take out but it's a ton of Protein, beef and chicken & I ate some before I remembered to get a pic. I can't handle beef well but decided why not lol. I doubt I will be hungry enough for additional meals. Plus unseen was a bite of cheesecake.

I was hungrier and eating more before IF, my hunger has greatly diminished. I'm just drinking more these day.

LOL. What's toosday?

Hope the colonoscopy went well!!!!

[FluffyChix 17,415]

Ok, so don't know that I will take pics every day cuz I'm compelled to go in and color correct etc. And I don't have time or energy for that. LOL. Here was today's food. I'd post afters but they were clean plates. The thing about being AR is that I know how much I can eat by now. So I only serve what I can eat. I probably won't end up eating the BS cuz I finished dinner at 8pm and it makes no sense to try to eat again in 1 hour. But I did actually have 3.25oz of pork loin. Cals were well under 500 for the day and Protein was 67g which is fine. Carbs were under my limits as well and fat was fine too. OMG. I'm such a nerd.

Breakfast - Egg White Puff

lunch - Chopped Shrimp salad

Dinner - Roasted Pork Loin with Broccoli

Tomorrow is "Toosday" and is an UD. I will attempt 1000 cals that do not include a bunch of crap.

[sillykitty 10,774]

@FluffyChix ....That all looks delicious ....like, REALLY delicious!

I'm also super impressed you can get 67 g of Protein in at 500 cals, with all real food. I can't do it without supplementing Protein Shakes, protein Soups, etc.

One thing about living alone is cooking for one sucked pre WLS, and it just seems ridiculous post WLS.

[FluffyChix 17,415]

I hear ya on the cooking for one! I usually cook meats ahead, then we have them to eat with different things. Like I'll boiled a pound of shrimp when it's cheap here and freeze them on a tray then bag them. That way I can pull out 2-3oz. Same with chicken breasts and this roast. It was part of a whole loin. So I cut it into about 4inch sections and freeze them. So they make 2 meals + lunch each. Then I only have to nuke veg and do avo/tomatoes.

If you pair down any carbs to only low glycemic veg, limit fruit til you know if you have room left and go for lean Proteins with almost zero added fat, you'd be amazed at the quantity of food you get for 500 cals!

I will admit that I miss my PP in coffee. Since I have 24cals left, I think I will alter my plan to have a decaff with PP in it as my BT snack. Then tomorrow will just have to delay eating until 11:30am. No big whoop.

[FluffyChix 17,415]

Good morning everyone!! How did you do yesterday? Any good word for us?

Yesterday was pretty easy. No hunger or deprivation--but come on, with huge meals like the ones from yesterday--how could anyone feel deprivation? But you know...whah! It didn't have cheese or gooey stuff, and wasn't in the form of a casserole! No Pasta, rice, bread, or potatoes! The hell??? And it was a "feast day"=holiday. Bet you didn't realize Labor Day was a feast day. Right? LOL. ROFL!

I got all of my walking in -- and beyond, but I was gonna do my core exercises and didn't pull it together to do it.

This morning as expected after a day of clean eating and drinking lots o plain Water, I'm back down a couple of pounds to 163.6lbs. It's not enough of a diff to go change my ticker. LOL. So I will wait until next Monday to change things up for the week.

Today is an UD for me which means I get 1000cals. I'll still keep my basic proportions, but will use higher fat items/carbier items to use up the cals. In actuality according to the diet, my UDs should really be about 1200-1400 cals or more. But I can't bring myself to eat that many cals. I'm so afraid of gaining! So I may have to just take baby steps to get back up there so that I'm doing the full UD/DD rotation and getting the best metabolic benefit.

*Forgot to mention, tonight is trivia night with our friends at a local wine bar. So I will have one glass of chardonnay and "whoop it up" then have iced tea in a wine glass. I'm so wicked. I used some of my fat for the cals in the chardonnay.

Also, I will likely be adding my psyllium husks in to get more Fiber and I'll be damned if I'm going to count the calories OR the carbs toward my daily totals goal. LOL. So I'll make my menu, then add it in to try to get higher in fiber. Ohhhhhh the little head games we play with ourselves--and the rationalizations...

09.04.18: Up Day (UD) 1000 cals: 30% Protein (75g); 15%Carbs (38g--total non-net); 55%Fat (61g); 25g Fiber; <15g daily natural sugars

Brekky 1: Decaff; Colace; Miralax

B2: 2 over-med eggs with sauteed super greens trio, broccoli and mushrooms

L: sardines nicoise salad (sans potatoes)

AS: mozzarella cheese stick + roasted almonds

D: grilled chicken; steamed broccoli with butter; avocado/tom salad

BS: Granny Smith apple with FlufferNutter Dip (Vitacost Peanut Butter Slim PB powder + WF Marshmallow Dip)

Vitamins: 2 multis, 1500mg Ca Cit, 18mg Iron + C; 100mg Thiamin; 1000mg B12 subling -- don't count the values into daily totals for cals/carbs. Sue me.

Busy travel day, I don't think there will be any meals for me as my non fasting hours fall during my travel hours. So modified water& tea fasting all day (I use stevia & Protein Shake if I want throughout fasting and non fasting hours, it works for me)

I will use the PP as Creamer if I want any (sometimes I like hot tea English style and iced tea Thai style).

But these babies will be in rotation, mostly Water and green tea. Maybe a coffee if there's a decent roaster where I am in Manhattan...
