My house too! Lol

Revision is tomorrow! Super excited and nervous. Good luck to everyone who is getting surgery this week!

Museum and crepe family outing with 2/3 of my children. My bf ordered this monstrosity which I wanted no part of My vegan child ordered a large bowl of fresh fruit, I ordered a London Fog and had this much of my other child’s crepe suchard

On Monday I had my lap band removed, my hiatal hernia repaired and gastric bypass done. One night in the hospital and back home at 7:45 the next evening. Not a ton of pain but managing with gabapentin and Tylenol with oxycodone available. Right after, I felt I had eaten 3 Thanksgiving dinners, that is slowly going away. I’ve stuck to water and decaf iced tea with one Muscle Milk shake. I’ll do more shakes but preferably not those horrid BA meal replacement shakes. Staff at Fair Oaks Hospital were the most awesome group of people I’ve been with and I’m very grateful for them and my doctors. Now I need to learn how to properly feed my new postage-stamp-sized stomach. Thanks for reading!

Everyone comes back to chips…eventually

Me too!! It's getting real! 🎉

🤣😂😆 For me it's travel, surgery, houseguests and holidays that result in an immaculate house. 😆😂🤣

I am scheduled for May 18th and I am super excited about it.

Congratulations!

One thing I try to be really conscious of is avoiding "dieting". I believe fad diets, eating too little, etc... can destroy your metabolism and I think that was part of my problem pre-surgery. Years of yo-yo diets meant my metabolism (aka Calories Out) was destroyed. I am really trying to not do that this time around. I did have a little weight gain over the holidays and am trying to eat around 1700 a day with working out and the little I gained is slowly coming off in what I hope is a healthy way.
