Bottom line is if YOU are happy with your rate of weight loss (and ur labs some back satisfactorily) then u don’t need to change anything, really. You know yourself best and can tell more than us strangers if this is a slippery slope or not. Some can handle it and keep it in check, others may have more difficulty, and should consider refraining. P.S. I ate almost 2 cups of mushroom “chips” for dinner the other day, so yeah, it happens, lol. BUT: I’m 2+ years out and in maintenance for over 1.5 years. Good Luck! Edited to add: oh, and to answer your original question: no, I didn’t eat these types of food during weight loss phase.

I have been exercising more than I have in years, and I really wanted a fitbit, so I am gifting myself one for Christmas. I haven't made a final decision which one yet, probably versa 2 or 3, but that is my post-op gift to myself this year. Do you have anything you are wanting or gifting yourself this holiday season?

I had the panniculectomy portion of my tummy tuck covered by insurance...so basically I just had to pay for the lipo and muscle tightening, which was probably around 30% of the total cost had I had to pay for the entire TT. I am in Canada though, and this was covered by provincial insurance, and the requirements to qualify may be different with with U.S. based Monila/Medicaid. ...Just did a quick google search and it seems Medicaid does cover panniculectomies, but the rules vary by state. Best to call and find out for confirmation. Good Luck!

His comments make me very, very concerned that you are in an emotionally abusive relationship. You have been reasonable and talked things through. He has had a chance to "get it" and he's not taking it. Please, for the sake of your own healthy future (both physically and mentally), be careful. If you don't feel like you can leave, at least get into counseling with someone who can help you sort through your feelings and support the positive decisions you can make. I recently ended a 25 year marriage that included (mild) physical, verbal, emotional, and financial abuse. Life is sooo much better. Even the hard parts like the basement flooding are easier without having to work around him and be criticized the whole time. If you decide to leave, I promise, there will continue to be life, joy, and happiness afterwards. Good luck! Sent from my SM-G950U1 using BariatricPal mobile app

Scrambled eggs are soft, so they go down easy, even though they still need to be chewed thoroughly. I’d only do one egg though. I started them on week two and they were a pleasant change from protein shakes.

Thank you. I needed this. I feel like it is not moving or moving extremely slow. I know there is no one size fits all. I just wish I knew what size fits me.

Not the only reason but a huge factor for me is the control of GERD. My surgeon told me that RNY was originally done for ppl with stomach ulcers + to treat GERD. Then surgeons started to notice how much weight loss occurred in ppl after the surgery

Well reading YOUR post was LIGHT for me!! You Go Girl! With your beautiful outlook and can-do-spirit, I know good things are about to happen for you! Thanks, and Congrats on you!!✨

The mind is such a crazy thing and I think that’s going to be the hardest thing for me. Plus years of habits and coping mechanisms. I keep reminding myself... I AM worth the hard work it’s going to take.

While your body is healing it's also releasing many hormones which could cause a temporary imbalance. As your body normalizes (as best it can) so will your hormones. If you still feel out of sorts, contact your surgeon and he may be able to give you something during this period.
