So envious, I have yet to be able to find this at any local Aldi 😭

I didn't. But I had almost no abdominal pain from the surgery whatsoever.

You are being judgemental. Alcohol is just empty calories, to you, but why do you think there is anything wrong with someone enjoying some good wine with dinner, or beer while watching a game with friends, or savoring a well made cocktail? As to the OP - my experience is similar to @ms.sss. I drank rarely during my WLS phase. I didn't want to add the empty calories and slow down my weight loss. Once I got near goal I added alcohol back in. Now at 2.5 years out my alcohol consumption is pretty similar to pre WLS. Alcohol definitely hits me harder and faster, but is nothing unmanageable. But I attribute that more to being 1/2 the weight I was pre WLS then anything specific to my sleeve.

I think I golfed for the first time 5-6 weeks post? Nothing too surprising, I was quite exhausted, and didn't play the whole 18. Pretty much what you'd expect having had recent surgery and while consuming very few calories.

Heading out to happy hour

Sooo hot ... cold food only Sesame Noodles No afters, ate it all

That's not the point for everyone. There is misconception that some foods make you fat, and that healthy weight individuals don't eat those "bad" foods. When the reality is it is (mostly) about finding the calories that either keep you losing or maintaining weight. Also for me, and I sure for others as well, it's about finding a balance of foods that don't make me feel deprived.

If you check her post history, you will see no one here was an "a-hole" to her. She received some genuine advice.

Got to disagree with the statement that good surgeons only do one procedure at a time. Most surgeons do multiple procedures at one time, including very reputable ones. All surgeons have maximum surgical time limits. In the US it is generally 6-8 hours. I suspect that is why your surgeon does one surgery at a time, his surgical times are abnormally lengthy. For instance I had a lower body lift and breast augmentation in the same amount of time you had knee and calf lipo.

My scar progression is red > purple > pink > white line I'm 8 months post plastics and my scars are in the light purple to pink stage

I had no problem handling spice at any point post op. I would say though that Tteokbakki, Jjangmyun & ramen probably aren’t practical choices early in post op. You’ll most likely have a lot of restriction and won’t have much room left for theses items once you fit in your protein. Good news is Korean food has lots of tasty protein options, so as long as you can tolerate it you should be able to enjoy familiar flavors

Comfortable for the long drive home 😫

Last night of vacation

I had no pre op diet at all, but did have bowel prep the day before surgery. This was for the VSG

Long dress and jean jacket. It’s like we coordinated 😂

Vacation is winding down

I have no attachment to Built Bars (protein bars are not my thing), but I didn’t read anything damming in that article. I’d have to see the evidence in the lawsuit to determine if the company is in the wrong and is undeserving of my business. (For instance, I would never purchase Genepro due to the evidence in the lawsuit against them, and Genepro’s lack of response to the suit)

I like Protein H2O. I can’t detect any protein taste.

Thai food today! Chicken Pad See Ew, Roti, Beef Massamun Curry over Rice

Still vacationing

That looks fantastic. Looks very thin and well placed. Making me reconsider if I should get mine done while I have this quarantined time to heal. 🤨

Aldi!!!! 😍

@MarvelGirl25 Oh, serious food porn this morning 😍 I love Philly, I think Reading Terminal Market might be my version of heaven. But, but, no Chilly cheesesteak? Is that even allowed? 😳

Fish & Chips 😃 (I ate the roll before the before pic obviously)

Keeping with the yellow theme, albeit slightly wrinkled 😂
