    Protein Ramen! Well it was not for me but I did have the broth so I’m counting 30 cals but 1200mg of sodium 😂

    I like granola more than cereal too. But I really like crunchy cereals and for a short period right after WLS I ate a lot of fiber one bran squiggles with yogurt.

    After WLS (when I still drank coffee) I used to brew pumpkin spice coffee and add a bit more spice to give it just the right flavor. There are also sugar free pumpkin spice syrups. But I also stopped drinking anything that wasn’t skinny at Starbucks until I eventually stopped all together.

    4 yrs post VSG to RNY

    My weight remained around the same but I had a revision at my goal weight. Also my surgeon was modest with the length of my bypass (less than 150) because he was adamant that I shouldn’t lose more much weight (his preference from his experience- YMMV) For me, It is not the same restriction as the VSG. The VSG was a mid chest tightness like something was stuck. RNY feels like a lower abdomen fullness of eating way too much. I always try to stop before I get to that point. But I can eat pretty much the same amount with the RNY as with the VSG. I hope that helps ❤️

    This is probably the first time I’ve seen anyone post milk and cereal! 😍 Who else is eating their cereal in milk?

    Facing Fears

    Which part are you afraid of? The surgery itself, lifestyle afterwards or something else? I don’t know about your experience, but for me the repeated lumbar punctures for IIH (plus the ever looming possibility blindness) were far worse than surgery. Good luck on your next appointment!

    I think we are all eating the same stuff. I’ve had way more cherries this summer than ever before. And my BF just had smoked salmon. A scratch made Belgian waffle! I made it with Greek yogurt and collagen powder. Anyone else taking collagen? How do you hide/incorporate it? I usually add it to a Chai latte or London fog.

    Weight loss shots

    I think a lot more people are using them than will admit it openly. There’s still a lot stigma around obesity treatment outcomes. Whatever your choice please don’t be afraid to tell your team when you start a new medication.

    I have mostly given up on ice cream but I had to try a little bit in this cute vintage shop. Kid sized double chocolate chip.

    A month away from a lower body lift

    Congratulations! Only advice I can think of is to request your medication prescriptions at the preop appointment and fill them that day so you won’t have to wait. I had very good experiences and received great care during my stays at recovery houses in MIA.

    This sounds exactly like something that would happen to me!

    Ugh allergies

    I use Benadryl for acute allergic reactions. Oddly my lifelong seasonal allergies disappeared about 8yrs ago for no reason at all.

    I’ve actually purchased vemondo products! Unfortunately my local Lidl just closed permanently.

    At what point are you "back to normal"?

    Extremely glad I did it. I’m really happy with my results and I have zero regrets.
