Hi Russ, I did increase my activity on Saturday. However I’m wondering if I may have pulled an internal stitch as it’s now sore when I eat as well as move which it wasn’t before.

Good Reasoning, I Think, come,join me in Bypass Junction where we are Kangaroos for we all have pouches. We think that it is better than being gastric deficent like sleevers who have a 1/4 of their original and digest through a garden hose diameter object. But there are bonus and detriment with both. As the old carnival barker stated " You pay your money, you make your choice" just make very sure choice is one you were willing to make!

I have severe GERD, even with proton pump inhibitors and acid reducers, and my surgeon won't do a sleeve on me because he says the sleeve will make GERD worse. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Picnic on the floor, less distance for the veggies to fall, change things up. When I was a mini'Frust8 I liked eating in a tent made out of sheets and blankets over chairs, but maybe I was a strange little beast.

I am not the same person that posted earlier about smoking a cigar but thought I would chime in. Everyone is different and every situation is different, what might work for one might not work for anyone else. I smoke a quality (not a gas station bought) cigar about every night. I also have my cigar with either a glass of whiskey or rum. I am in really good shape and have done very well after my surgery. I actually ran my 2nd 5K yesterday (my first one was back in May) and finished 3rd in my age group. Clearly the cigar smoking is not slowing me down at all.

Never a more true statement. I should've listened to posts that said don't over buy... now I have a ton left over. Slowly, very slowly it's going away....

As far as protein goes- try a few brands/kinds but do not overbuy, as your tastes may change post-surgery. I loved Premier cookies and cream shakes before surgery, but after, the taste made me gag! I still liked the other flavors- but that one just makes my stomach turn now. So find a flavor you like- buy enough for a few days (3 or 4) post op and hope you still like the taste of it. 😂

I had my revision one year ago today. I’m shocked and amazed at the changes that have occurred this year. My boobs have disappeared, I lost a lot of hair... but more importantly I’m no longer overweight. I still have a belly (and lose skin) but I’m learning to love myself just as I am. I’m so thankful to be on this road. Now I just need to get my butt back in the gym, good news is that it is within walking distance now. No regrets. ❤️

Thank you guys i will most definitely start logging and being a little more health conscious.... @ivgottbelower i eat a lot of nuts lots of it and that may be my issue right there.... imma start watching my portions more as well I’ll try the IF like 2 days a week and see how it works thank u all for your encouragement and ideas i have been feeling so defeated lately thank u

I am happy to answer any questions. From 356 to 207lbs. Who is a happy boy? That would be me. Best decision I've made in my life. Healthier, more confident, better family and social life. Thumbs up all around from moi. Loose skin, hell yeah, does it bother me, not really. It's part of the package. Love y'all, sorry I have not been around a while. I have a life now
