    Food Before and After Photos

    The original recipe is from a UK fitness magazine: 2 cups natural peanut butter 0.5 cup agave nectar 2.5 scoops vanilla protein sea salt to taste a bit of water 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 cups of 70% or more cocoa dark chocolate (I used maybe a bit more than 1 cup and it was definitely enough to coat them) --- I used date sugar and vanilla flavor drops in lack of the original ingredients and had to use a bit of almond butter because I didn't have enough peanut butter at home but want to try the original recipe soon. They look definitely different in the magazine. More a bit like ball-shaped peanut butter cups while mine look more like cake bites. Maybe I used too much water.

    Effect on families

    So the real problem here is the mental/psychiatric issue that went untreated and not WLS itself. And yes, mental diseases can destroy families.

    ROFL. You're looking at red bell pepper and carrot bread. One slice with vegan apple/onion Leberwurst and the other with mustard and vegan Fleischwurst.

    gastric bypass side effects

    None. I have side effects but they were all mentioned.

    I love fivefinger shoes. However, the really light and flexible ones are neither for cold nor wet conditions. I think their ballerinas are adorable.

    3rd times a charm!

    I'm having revision to RNY as well (plus hiatoplastic and gastropexia). I'm going in on February 25th. I was satisfied with the MGB for over three years until my hernia came back.
  11. The problem with GERD is - there can be very serious longterm complications because of it as well. Deciding for revision is tough. How much damage to the esophagus did the EGD show? On how many anti-reflux meds are you now? Do you wake up in the middle of the night? Does the reflux bother you during daytime as well? These are all things that need to be taken into the equation when deciding for revision.

    Oh, I'm wearing only "sensible" shoes as well. Usually barefoot shoes or shoes with a 0 mm heal drop, even if they're a bit more cushioned than a barefoot shoe (e. g. Inov8, Altra, Merrell, Vivobarefoot, Vibram). A heal drop of 6 mm already feels like a kind of heal to me (I have some trekking shoes with this kind of heal drop, it seems to be impossible to get one with a 0 or 3 mm).

    Stomach stretching

    I've only heard of strictures treated, sorry. You weren't very heavy to begin with, a BMI of 35. On top of this you've lost weight quite fast. What does your nutritionist say? The gastroenterologist? How do the labs run, including vitamin panels? How bad is the liver function already? During my last hospital stay for adhesiolysis I've seen patients admitted to receive TPN because they were malnourished and dehydrated since they couldn't eat enough (still very overweight but anyway).

    Watches are not for time reading anymore, duh!! (For that we have cell phones, ROFL.) Watches are jewelry. 😁
  16. So your weight is at about 200 lbs now? Why do you believe that you can't back to where you were and stay there? If you think that it's too soon for revision, then well... it's too soon for a revision! No, seriously... if you're not experiencing symptoms like e .g. serious reflux it's really hard to decide when it's time for a revision or if a revision makes any sense at all. There is always the risk of another surgery and results regarding additional weight loss or losing regained weight can be quite poor depending on the procedure.

    Ok, maybe watches are more of a guy's thing? (Flash your watches here, please!) I own more than one Holzkern watch though and several of their bracelets. I have a Suunto watch for sports but that's definitely not a watch I would wear like jewelry.

    So... anyone into... Watches?
  19. That might be exactly how my husband feels about tempeh.

    I've blocked quite a few people over the years and guess what? The absolute majority of them is gone by now anyway.

  23. I actually like the more "chewy" texture better than that of real pasta, lol.

    The Parkas are both waterproof. Down/Primaloft and GoreTex. They're definitely lightweight compared to their size but not packable. They need room. Maybe you want to invest money in simply a GoreTex shell and size it up so you can layer? I got a bit tired of layering so I wanted something that goes down to the knees and doesn't require wearing more than a light sweater and jeans beneath even in colder conditions. Plus I wanted something that looks more urban style.
