going to try to get back to daily posting
Hey friends. I've found myself pulling away from the boards because I had an issue with a member or two here and decided to step away for a bit to cool off. The truth is that I miss you guys and I miss the support that I get here. I'm recovering from Plastic surgery, but will be heading back to work on the 5th.
I was struggling with my carb intake, but this surgery really helped to reset me, so I've been doing well. Nothing much else going on, but healing up and enjoying the summer.
Glad to see you Deanna!

I hope your healing is going well. Recovering from plastics was tough for me.
Glad you're enjoying your summer!!

I enjoy seeing your posts and your success! I like how real you are. When I first started my journey over a year ago, I always looked forward to your posts.
This is me. I'm 4 weeks post-op tomorrow and I've lost 15 pounds. Probably because most of my diet is protein shakes at the moment.

For me, my metabolism seemed to be in super-high gear post-plastics. I was able to eat well over 3000 calories a day and still lose. Sadly about the 3 month mark it caught up to me and I had to cut back to my usual maintenance calorie count
