Give them a try but the moment you see signs of a deficiency use standard vitamins and check in with your GP to run labs. a lot of vitamin deficiency are dangerous, can't stress this enough. I've been told NOT to use them by my team but i am super curious about the efficacy, other patch delivery mechanisms seem to work, i.e. nicotine , why not this? if the vitamins are in them at all i guess is the issue...

Oatmeal is allowed on some plans at varying stages ( mine was stage 2- introduced during full liquids-purees as a very loose consistency) and sometimes never. Double check with you team to make sure they mean never again or just not at your current stage, either way follow your plan for the best possible outcome. Safe Journey!

I committed to drinking filtered water ALL DAY no gimmicks well... i am chasing it with espresso

can we see some before pics and some crumbs after lol

ahem, for me!

Only at doctor visits, where they have accurate scales and when it will be recorded, not trying to drive myself crazy because I drank 132oz, urinated 52oz, ate 1/2 cup of watermelon this afternoon, but excrete this morning , my sodium intake is slightly elevate, also todays barometric pressure of 29 ,while Jupiter is ascending during a waning crescent moon and the ice shelves are melting causing a 1℅ increase in sea level across the world. No thanks.

I was in considerable pain for 3 weeks then nothing. It gets better. Walk, use that stupid spiro-whatever-breathing-meter, and take whatever pain meds you need. Safe Journey!

AMAZING

Thanks!

important before and after Just because I *can* drink coffee does not mean that I always will... (shhh blonde you didn't hear that, I'm coming back I promise) Here's an alternative for y'all out there

Morning smoothie 1cup frozen blueberries, 8oz unsweetened almond milk, Matcha powder, chia seeds, SF hazelnut syrup Took 1 hour to drink

I'm 9 months post op, immaculate recovery, for me it was worth it but I had no complications. My motivation also was not looks. So every additional benefit was like icing in the cake. Health once lost or gained (regained) can change your life like you've never imagined.

Hey there you could double up on bras but if the front isn't the problem try a compression styled tank top. Super fitted , works wonders!!!!

This is a very dangerous road to go down, but only you know if you are willing to do it. Making physical changes for someone else when you are not comfortable doing it is not a very good idea and can lead to more problems than resolutions. But i will say this strong and lasting marriages are not usually made or broken on bra size.

Maybe but don't change anything until your team advises you to take the prescribed PPI ( if you were given one), push hydration to the Max (remember it doesn't ave to be just water ,just cal free sugar free and on your plan) and its really helpful to stick to a schedule to train your body and mind

I suggest eating the purest uncomplicated food from the menu, like lemon butter salmon, black bean soup and garlic and herb chicken ,etc. you can estimate what is in it. But things like any house pasta sauce, seafood stews and crab bisque and creamy saucy chicken dish ... Proceed with caution! They can vary by recipe and restaurant , ingredients will be hard to nail down . Eat at your own risk... I did (it was dessert) at a very fancy French restaurant and paid the price , I have a sleeve and unfortunately I can dump.

Boiled eggs, string cheese, deli meat, edamame, hummus, protein chips

Belong to any religious, professional or social organizations? reach out to them to see if they can help, especially religious... Or care.com to hire a caretaker for the day...

!!!!CONGRATS!!!! SAFE JOURNEY

Some people never like we the hunger sensation altogether. There are ways to reduce it. Sometimes stomach acid mimics hunger so make sure its not that first (take your PPI) , next make sure its not thirst (often feels like hunger) last make sure you are not eating things that prompt a hunger sensation, high sugar, high carb and even high vitamin b 12 ( found out from another member) Do a bit of research, check your routine and Speak with your team about ways to keep real hunger at bay.

Hi, Congrats on everything so far!!! Meet with a surgeon for a consult but they will likely try for a conversion to either RNY or DS (SIPS) , VSG was originally intended to be a two part surgery for super morbidly obese patients with the first part being the VSG to reduce the weight enough to safely continue with DS. VSG worked so well many patients never needed part two. This may be something to discuss with your prior team or a new one but from what I hear it's rare to redo a VSG. SAFE JOURNEY AGAIN!!!

Nice to see such variation, secretly adding tips to my menu !

YOU CAN DO IT!!!
