Hey Jen: Did you ever suffer from acid reflex? Have you had rice? I am MOURNING the idea that I may not enjoy eating sushi again!! I LOVE sushi! Have you tried Margaritas again? how about wine?
Congrtats. you;ve done great. I had gastric plication done Jan 27th and am still struggling with getting enough protein, havent found a protein shake that doesn't put my gag refluz into hyper drive. Have you had this expereince? And what protein shake have you found that is tolerable???
Congratulations on your success!! I love watching your updates! I have learned so much from you..I 'm having VSG surgery in March. Thanks to your updates, I'm no longer anxious or nervous..I actually feel ready right now!! :") Thank you so much for allowing us to share this amazing journey with you! YOU ROCK!!
For the scaring I read about shea butter, the purer the better. Apparently it's great for stretch marks too !! Aaaaand it's very cheap on amazon! You look great, cheers !! :)
You look awesome! I can't believe the change in just 5 months. You look sooooo much younger! I commented awhile back about being scared to death of this process. I began the process already, but then let fear stop me. I just called the surgeon's office today. I am going to try pushing through this fear and move forward. I want to be on the other side....where you are!
Great job, you look amazing! I have a question for you on your portion sizes. You were saying you can eat about six oz's. Im just about three mos post op and can only do 2-3 oz at a time still. Were you always able to be a little bit more or did that just gradually happen over the past few months? I would like to be able to do a little more each sitting so I can get my daily protein requirements in easier.
@ginasno1 Yeah, it was a slow increase of how much I ate over time. I didnt push it though. I think at a certain point I just felt comfortable of how much I am eating. The key is to eat SLOW, chew well and small bites and waiting 2 minutes between bites.
It is amazing to see how far you have come in five months. One more week until my sleeve. Thanks for all the videos that have inspired me along the way!
Jen You look great. Thanks for posting videos, I have watched all your video and have gone back and watched again when I am at your stage., I am on week 4 now so I use your wisdom and have really enjoyed the segments on what your have been eating.Please keep up the good work.
Well, Well, Well....what to say Skinny! You are looking fantastic....and so happy! Glad to see/hear you are doing so well!!!! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!
Oh and I've been putting scargel from riteaid..but im sure you can use mederma or a mederma like brand at your local pharmacy! It has really been working for me!
OMG Jen - you look absolutely fabulous. 175 is so within reach for me. I'm looking forward to it ! You look so great... you've had great success in a short time. Amazing!!
Ohhhh Slim!!! I am choked up watching this video. I am so proud of you! 175lb and size 10 is my goal size (right now...we'll see when I get there ;-)) ....
You are having a fantastic journey!!! Blesssing to you!
@Weigh8nomor Awww you are so sweet, I choke up watching others videos too. It is just so wonderful to see everyone's progress and grow into much more happier, confident people. You are coming along too, size 10 here she comes. Go get it!!
I love that - do not have self limiting beliefs. :) you DO look fab. jen. merry christmas to you! i heard that opening up a vitamin e capsule and putting on your scar is really good for it...but i haven't tried it. take care!
@losingitwithrebecca That is something I have learned on this road, self limiting beliefs....we only do as much as we think we can do...but there is a whole other level. Thanks for the VIt E tip :)
Jen, you're looking great!! 176 is fabulous :) Your face is NOTICEABLY thinner -- aren't you just thrilled?? I'm so thrilled for you -- congratulations Jen :)
