A fun group of things! Unfortunately I personally connot use half of them... The food shake mixes look good and somewhat healthy, and my three year old tried the berry one and loved it, but it can't try it because I am currently doing low crab trying to get my post surgery body into the best shape for a bikini this summer (I'll show you that in a bit). Same is true for the blueberry flavored almonds...can't because of sugars! I also have no intention of using the platter sport tampons, first I don't use tampos because every time I've tried I get sick, vomiting and passing out, yuck! And second, they're scented, and I don't really want to stick anything "scented" inside my body.... I'm sensitive enough to perfumes as it is outside my body. I'll let my kids use the coupon for a free Muller yogurt to try, we really enjoy yogurt! But I fully intend to use the bath salts for myself!
Haha, my little buddy was sooo excited to get a box in the mail! "I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes."
Now on to surgery stuff. I'm what 9 months post surgery at this point, and I know I've been horrible about updating! I've been incredibly busy! But I'm definitely working on my new body and enjoying its perks (like bikinis!). I did gain some weight after surgery, not at first, but after a while because I couldn't exercise then Halloween, thanksgiving, Chanukkah, Christmas, New Years, my Birthday, our Anniversary, Valentines....well, you get the idea! So my brother and sister in law discovered a new diet called "The Carb Nite Solution", and we all decided to try it. It's a different type of low carb diet that truly burns fat and not muscle, meaning that the fat loss comes with easy muscle definition and great shape!
So this is a before and after from the first few weeks. I've lost a total of about 12lb and several inches! I'm feeling pretty confident about my post surgery body and am actually looking forward to summer! I still get some swelling just above my scar, but that's sompletely normal until about 12-18months after surgery to completely go away... The swelling isn't too bad, it's just a little "pooch", but I'm definitely looking forward to my stomach staying flat all day, not just first thing in the morning!!
Now as promised, I got a bikini! Actually, two, hahaha. And please ignore my pasty whiteness...
