What's on your Menu today (PHOTO FRIDAY) RNYers?

You are having plastics next week? Congrats! It is so worth it....

Happy Friday.  Late post again for me.  Court appearances really cut into my posting time!

DQOTD - I would say I'm more sensitive.  I would love to steer everyone to my surgeon, since my surgery was such a life changing experience.  But I would never say anything. What I will do is go out of my way to show someone MO common courtesy.  Engage in conversation, or even just offer a smile.  I know what it's like to either be invisible to the rest of the world, or the subject of scorn.  If I can offer an alternative, I will.

Plan - not sure.  It's a small pouch day (still not used to saying that . . . I was sleeve girl for so long!), so we'll see.

B: Deli Roast Beef (I measured out 2.89 oz and didn't fini****)

L: Chicken and broccoli (3.31 oz of chicken and broccoli to total 5.86 oz.  Likely won't fini****)

D:???

S: Latte with 4 oz fairlife milk

Totals:  ?????  Likely under 900 cal and over 80g protein.

Edit to add:  I didn't forget photos, but the program is being temperamental.  I can't get my before photo to load. . . .

I am even after you today....so much to read through.

Great pictures Daisy , pretty and such a nice person...Happy and healthy!

Hi.  I'm new on the forum, but have occasionally checked in to learn about WLS earlier.  I'm having surgery on Wednesday (10/26).  I've been on the liquid shake pre-op diet for 6.5 weeks for so (due to my size they require 7 weeks).  I'm down 80 pounds since I started this journey back in late May.

Today's menu is 5 shakes (Core Power is my chosen poison, with a Slimfast high protein shake for dinner).  I'll also have some tomatoes at dinner.  I burned out of every other raw vegetable by week 4.  I can't wait to eat anything else ;)

I'll check back in after I get home from the hospital around this time next week.  Have a good weekend everyone!

Hugs to you all and have a great weekend!

PS.....Looking for that perfect bacon food porn for Grim, minus the mater

Hey Girl! You look cute as a button! Arun looking fly himself! You 2 look so good & I'm so glad I got to meet y'all irl!

QOTD- I feel pretty much a little more sensitive to the MO/SMO. Its like in my head I want to run up to them & say I'm one of you! I just look like this now but I am one of you & I get where you're coming from. Of course I don't do that for real, & I stay away from the I want to save you syndrome. Honestly people have to be mentally ready for this whole thing, & for all I know the person I might want to "save", might already be on this path.

I know people on my job wants me to talk to another guy who is SMO & I'm like we talked, but if he's not ready, I'm not gonna force anything on him, plus I wait for him to ask first & he usually does. He knows what I looked like b4 & he knows what I look like now.

But I can understand the want to save or the go tell it on the mountain stance, just don't. You've been there, & you know if you run up on some random stranger with that, you can & probably will get a verbal beatdown, no matter how good your intentions.

I don't have many b4 pictures, but plenty of after ones. Here's one I dug up.

You look great! Wonderful maintenance! You are inspiring.

Always looking beautiful there T!
