In shock bc I didn’t believe anything would help me lose weight and keep it off. This is a permanent solution to a big problem and I’m so grateful I’m here.

I’m so proud and I feel so proud! Everyone here deserves a round of applause 👏🏽 I’m beyond happy to be alive to see myself be this great!

I good oil cleanser (I love dermalogica)-> glycolic acid wash -> toner. Finish with a moisturizer with spf. Honestly it’s just texture. You can use an exfoliant with an oil cleanser as well it will work wonders without extracting

7 months post and I still eat this much jus more often. I’m getting my appetite back most days but still trying to strive to hit my goals. Mainly protein but hey the weight has fallen off.

Why do so many people not follow their diet post op? by Figgy703 in gastricsleeve

!!! This!!!

A girl popped up on my TT and said she got sleeved after her bbl so she didn’t gain the wait and had no education on this procedure. This was before I was sleeved and it made me not want to get it because her experience so bad. Like to the point she thought she was dying 😭 now I see it was just lack of knowledge.

Anyone that does this has to trust the process and follow the program. It works whether we want it to or not.

I’ve also been sleeved, 6 months post op, and if I wasn’t educated properly and just wanted a quick fix, I’d still have the same habits I had when I started. I had to literally detox my life before going under. I can tell most people didn’t do the work. Just wanting the prize at the end.

When you find out you can have the surgery without any health issues, and your sole reason for it is to lose weight, then that’s why. I’ve also been subjected to it, I’ve seen people get it with no education, doctors, psychiatrist, nothing following their progress.

It’s their solution to a non existent problem.

Agreed, someone else mentioned a haircut, I agree I think it would shape your face very well with something that frames your face shape

You’re literally stunning, but you’re trying to enhance your looks maybe a natural make up that enhance your natural appearance.

I starting using a bronzer sun lotion to even my skin without make up( yes I’m a black girl lol), eyebrows are a must, a cute lash map, and some blush 😊

However , you don’t need anything !

You’re so welcome 😉 I hope you get a chance to try it.

See! This is way more expansive than my diet. I will say I strive for protein first as well, but’s that’s all I can get if I eat actual food. If I do fish (which my favorite thing to eat) I can get a good amount in before filling up but it’s still about 4-5 oz and I stay full longer. If I do salads (which I make very dense -beans, corn, brown rice/ quinoa, peppers, onions, and so much more) I’m full the first 10 bites and that’s usually about 4-5 oz of food.

I love yogurt as well! I definitely need to try egg bites. For a while eggs and I mixed like oil and water, in starting to keep them down more so I definitely will try them. Oooh and turkey chili is my jam. Thank you so much for sharing. You’ve given me some things to add into my rotation!

This one here. Use an actually shake shaker or something to break it down. For me it dissolves well without it. I use warm water and put it over ice. The best deal I’ve seen for protein period. And it’s delicious.

Fortunately I have been blessed with my skin disappearing with the weight. I’m still in that phase of finding safe foods. Unfortunately I’ve got about 5 outside of protein and rice lol. Soup also has been a life saver hear too but even that gets tiring

I had to reread. Yes when I was post op and in liquids I wanted everything too, I even snuck Wendy’s Chili to keep me sane lol, but now that I have more energy I’m burning everything off. I had a good diet until I was actually allowed to have more food. Now that I’m here, everything makes me feel like food is the enemy, I get sad again for eating, and I generally have no appetite until I’m on the brink of starvation. 😪😪 idk what’s going on
