One last bake session for the year Apple Pie (full sugar so no macros sorry) made with an oil crust I doubt I’ll eat any of it. And it was vegan right up to the point I put an egg wash on 😩

What is you favorite one from the BariatricPal Store?

Yes! This has happened to me also. For me it was usually after a procedure, when the seasons changed (too hot to eat) or just not really hungry. But your nausea maybe a sign something else is going on like food intolerance or stomach bug. I would reach out to my team if it lasts longer than normal.

My plan required: 64+ oz of sugar free fluids (mostly water) 60 or more grams of protein 30 or less grams of carbohydrates (depending on the sources e.g. vegetables vs grains) with less that 15 from added sugar 20 or less grams of fat (depending on the sources e.g. cheese vs oils)

Are you able to drink any protein shakes/broth/water? That might help a lot.

I’m right there with you! I don’t think my sweet tooth truly ever went away but dumping curtails many shenanigans. But I also go through food phases. I’ll love something for 2 months then never want to see it again. 😂 I tend to share all desserts with others or “buffer” dessert with a vegetable intensive or low calorie meal. Honestly it does as much for me mentally as calorically. I need chocolate on a monthly basis. Let me know if you find a solution!

GERD after VSG is a possible outcome, but it doesn’t effect everyone. Don’t be alarmed, your team will know what to do. Once it’s confirmed to be GERD and not something else (like diet, etc) your team may suggest using PPI’s again and dietary changes.

Sweet potato mash with Sautéed Kale (I may have over estimated the amount and macros)

Good looking cod! How were the sweet potato puffs made?

Omelette + Sweet Potato + Kale 😍

Looks really good!! I will try this soon because I have 3 blocks of tofu in my house watching me order takeout 😂

Kale & sweet potato w/chickpea masala I did not finish it all so I will eat the rest for dinner

Congratulations!!

Congratulations!

This *might* be the famed food coma. Early post op, food tolerances can be unpredictable. Is this happening after everything you eat or only certain things? Also let your team know is it persists/becomes more frequent.

Nice jacket (I vote we call it “Vegan Friendly Leather”😉)

What a fantastic turn of events! Congratulations

My revision was for GERD not regain so I can’t speak to that, sorry. What I have heard is that the weight loss from VSG to RNY can be slower and lower but every body reacts differently. I initially lost about 10/12 lbs but I have bounced back into my pre surgery range (I was already at my goal) I am happy to say that the symptoms of GERD have not come back so I’m very happy about that.

Congratulations! You look fantastic at any age 😍

Thanks! I ❤️ Medical journals

You may have to wean yourself off the fun foods until you feel better about having them. If you are eating chips, try to take 1/4 the amount you are eating now and substitute the rest with vegetables that have the same umami (I never thought I would get to use that word 😂) or similar texture. Sweets are a little bit harder to substitute but perhaps try fruit because if the natural sugar vs something artificial until you can wean off completely.

You could try to estimate based on your goal weight https://www.kleinfeldbridal.com/2020/02/24/wedding-dress-sizes-101/ my best guess/estimation for this dress: Are you losing rapidly? 8 Are you losing slowly? 12 my best overall advice: 1. Ask the consultant/tailor for the exact measurements of the dress in every size from 18 to the smallest and ask them choose based on your goal weight. 2. Pick a size in the middle range size and ask how hard/easy it would be for the tailor to alter it up one size or down a few sizes. 3. Find out the exchange & refund policy. Keep close track of your progress throughout the year and change your dress plans accordingly. 4. Altering something to be smaller is *almost* always easier than sizing up 5. Congratulations in advance

Congratulations in advance! Tips: Don’t buy too much in advance and absolutely never compare you’re progress to anyone else.

Thank you !
