  1. You should push for the science behind it from your surgeon the next time you see them, then make the decision on if it's a big deal to you or not. They say it's for various reasons but you really want to hear it from the person who altered your anatomy, then challenge them...they are the pro. I challenge doctors *all* the time, but ultimately consider their medical opinions as valid and I'm portent when I finally come to a decision... Safe Journey!
  2. Still IFing lol, today only a 16:8 because celebrated my 11 month post op with a good friend by having brunch. I had a some of a Belgium waffle with eggs and turkey sausage (rarity, not likely to have encores), the rest of the meals were simply protein bars and coffee as we had a very busy day together. Noticed today that I'm definitely still the same weight as when I altered a shirt a while ago, maybe last month, but it's much looser. Hmmmm. Also I've been told that I fake or hide my weight well, as in I look lighter than the scale indicates... Something to consider.
  3. Oh! All i could think of was 🎶 somewhere over the rainbow🎶 when I saw this... Enjoy life, do 10 jumping jacks, grudgingly have some kale, partake in *cardio*, eat a carrot, stress less- Balance... Aloha!

    Dating

    I am the same way. I get so bored so quickly. And idk what’s wrong with these men out here that think Netflix and chilling is a date IDK but I'm not going for it ... To be fair, he seemed like quality, just for someone else...

    When will the hair loss stop?

    The virus usually become more dormant the further from infection, but Abreva is FDA approved and proven to shorten healing time. Other natural remedies that work well are not usually topical or as swift acting so those require planning and consistency.

    Favorite restaurant meals post WLS?

    I usually get a naked turkey/or vegetarian burger (burger wrapped in lettuce instead of bread) or just tea and coffee when everything is too crazy. Ask for calorie info if it's not provided, that should help guide your decisions

    how do I make myself try new foods?

    Go simple at first. Variety can come later. Try to focus on the best quality of what you do like. Start with steamed broccoli in the bags with Gordon's fish fillets instead of fish sticks. Then work your way up to higher quality unprocessed foods like fresh cooked broccoli and pan seared haddock/cod/pollock (what fish sticks are made from) Safe journey

    Amazing. CONGRATS! Try Seltzer until you can get to the point where you drink just water.

    Month before surgery - what changes did you make?

    Not food related: Cleaned and organized my entire house (like I was move out ready) so anyone could easily find anything I needed if there was an emergency.

    How to Start Meal Prepping After Bariatric Surgery

    I completely enjoy meal prepping because I'm am lazy and like instant things. I do, however, struggle to find containers that I want to reuse more than just a few times. I've tried them all. The plastic ones seem to absorb flavors/odors. The glass ones are to fragile or heavy. The metal ones leave a flavor to the food. I'm being neurotic, I know. Any suggestions?
  19. Lol did you crash a wedding just to get a piece because you'd win the thread... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
