In the bathroom you can always light a match and put it out afterwards... Unfortunately since my ds surgery I have to go at work a lot and this helps the odor without spending so much on poopouri and sometimes spraying doesn't cover it. I am still searching for something to help with flatuance spray just mixes with it. I eat very clean actually and things like spinach and other veggies make me do this. Also the salad dressings, I only use enough to taste it. Hope this helps some! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Hi all, I am 4yr post op from the ds. When I started I was over 500 lbs(515ish), now I am at 198-200 but feel like I am stuck.... I am definitely getting over 110 grams of Protein a day, working out vigorously (I feel anyway), tracking my food with time of day and mood, but I feel like I should at least at my goal by now. How much have you been able to loose, and are you happy with it? I have made myself feel like a failure.. Any suggestions? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Thanks for all the great feedback!! I will try the nectar again I tried a lot of things right after surgery and maybe my tastes have changed since... I am just trying to get back to 100grams Protein a day... Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

So I am 4 years out and trying to get back to the basics.... Have any of you tried the Isopure (comes in glass bottle) that are flavored? I saw coconut, grape etc. just wanted some input! Also have you ever made Popsicles out of van Protein, almond milk or coconut milk, and fruit? Outcomes? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

You look GREAT! The body image issue is a huge problem for me as well... I still see myself the same as I did before, not sure how to break from that cycle. Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

I have this issue, but I haven't figured out how to love myself with it... I'm actually not at my goal weight yet, but feel like my excess skin on my tighs, hips, and tummy could be part of that... Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

That is very true, legally they cannot say anything to you or ask for specifics or tell you when you can or can not have it done...

You should speak with your hr department.... generally you want to apply for FMLA to be certain your job is protected... also in my case anyway my short term disability doesn't kick in until day 10 so I had to use sick time for those days Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App

Zucchini noodles for sure! Unless you're trying to make lasagne then I've used butternut squash or Zucchini before... spaghetti squash is more like a sweet angel hair or smaller to me Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App
