Torani makes a sugar free pumpkin spice. I bought some from their website.

Congrats, you look amazing! I can't wait to be as successful as you are!

Nothing unusual? How many people on this board alone are chanting the mantra "lean protein first"? He also recommends e. g. eating at least four servings of fruit a day, dig into lentils and beans and to drastically limit dairy and to limit animal protein in general. That's quite different from the standard WLS diet that seems to be recommended.

Congratulations! You look really happy! Nice work!

Oh wow that's awesome you were able to go home the next day!! I made my account and added you 🙂 ohsleeve10

I have an 11 year old and I was going to tell him I was having a simple procedure on my stomach. I’m hoping that he doesn’t get to anxious. He’ll be busy with school and friends so I think that will help. Not a bad idea to have your daughter sleep over at your sisters. That’ll take her mind off of it to do something fun! Good luck!

LOTS of folks report flavor and texture issues post-op, lots report those get better as you heal and your body has a chance to recover. Check into Tespo vitamins, or the patches (super controversial, but I've been using them for 8+ months now and my labs are all coming back good and stable)

500 calorie limit at six months out from surgery?????? Am I getting this wrong? I can see 500 in the first stages after healing from surgery, You should be at higher calories at this point. Contact your surgeon's office dietician to check calories and diet instructions. You may find more food enjoyment with increased calories and trying new bariatric recipes and real food (you should be off shakes by now)(shakes never make me feel full or satisfied) Nutrition can still be flavorful. Google bariatric recipes. Log your food to insure the calories and macros total to fit you plan at the end of the day.

Bariatric pizza recipes Sugar free pumpkin pie parfait If you are cooking for your family. They can eat what you eat. Example chicken fajitas let them have the tortilla. Nothing wrong with our families learning to eat healthy. Kids take on what we model to them. Side note: This is not talking about your situation at home. I have my own opinion on cooking separately for family members. Especially if it's foods that will temp you and derail your program. I would not cook for anyone that can't be supportive. I would set out cereal and milk, lunch meat and bread, frozen dinners for them to microwave. If they want a home cooked meal it will be healthy. Ok off my soap box. I would love to hear back if your office increases your calories. I also want to know how you feel about your food world after trying new foods and recipes.

My sister-in-law had RNY over 10 years ago and she is still doing really well. Of the two surgeries, RNY is the gold standard and has the best results long term. You never hear of someone going in for a revision from RNY to sleeve, just saying.

Vitamin water zero xxx is pretty good (subjectively speaking)
