What's on your menu today (Monday) RNYers?

Good morning! Monday again.. yuck!

QOTD: I never in a thousand years would have thought I'd ever have PS prior to WLS. But I also never understood that skin didn't automatically shrink when we lose weight. I had terrible jowls and a hanging neck because I had a lot of fat in my neck and face before WLS. I also had the awful hanging tummy. I hated how old my saggy face made me look mostly (at least I could hide my tummy under clothes). I went to a PS just to get an idea of the cost. When I realized it was about the same as the driveway we had just put in, I decided I was worth at least as much as the driveway. I am thrilled with the results. I also think that due to the large amount of time, effort and $ I have invested between WLS and PS, I have even more incentive to maintain than ever. Here is a link to a posting of mine with before/after pictures: http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/plasticsurgery/6022445/TT- and-Facelift-6-months-post-op/ I NEVER had a tummy this flat as an adult (my oldest daughter was born when I was 17).

16 months post-op, 8 months in maintenance.

B: eggbeaters and cottage cheese

L: tuna salad, pickles and cottage cheese

D: 1/2 leftover lobster roller filling and grilled veggies

S: cheese sticks, protein chips

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Liz. I still have weight that I want to lose and I already feel so saggy. I wouldn't have considered PS before WLS, but now it is a consideration.

Holy cow! You look amazing! LOL, "I decided I was worth at least as much as the driveway." Woot!

Thanks for saying that!

I am the lucky owner of your old neck and chin Liz!

No way! You look way better than I did!

You look amazing, Liz!

Aw shucks!

Amazing! I've been feeling so old and seeing this is inspiring.

Yes, PS is pretty miraculous!
