I've had this since the very beginning..I don't do anything but it's not bothersomeOne word..munchies..lolI vape at 0 nicotine..my surgical team had no issues with itMy Dr also recommended the bypass because I was diabetic and there appears to be more success rate with the bypass and diabetics..but I chose the sleeve..it's considered the safest of the two and I know two people personally where the daughter got the bypass and the mom got the sleeve and the daughter has been in the hospital several times after her bypass for dehydration and other complications and the mom hadn't had any issues. Luckily I have had no issues either. I feel great..my sugar is normal and I am off my meds. I also didn't have problem with sugar which is another reason people pick the bypass to keep from eating sweets if they get dumping syndrome. The sleeve also requires less Vitamins for life. My issue was binge eating..over eating even good foods. I chose the sleeve and it was the right choice for me for sure slow and steady wins the race in my book. SW 232 CW 201.4 GW 175I'm buying it at Fresh Thyme Market..really tasty decaf. They have a few different decaf blends.This stuff is the best..great for constipation..relaxes you too and I even find it helps my restless leg syndrome. You can find it in many natural health food grocery stores and Amazon has it too.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal AppI was a smoker..but I changed to eCigs and vapor and moved down to 0 nicotine, 3 months before my surgery because they wouldn't allow me to have unless I stopped but they were fine with the eCig at 0 nicotine. It is more than just bad for your body..it can cause life threatening ulcers in your stomach after surgery. I found switching slowly down levels of nicotine I didn't have any cravings. I also found that just having the ecig and blowing vapors solved my need. You should give it a try..I just say..don't risk your life anymore by continuing with the cigs. You should want a healthy lifestyle after surgery..so I say strive for it in all areas. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal AppI don't drink Protein shakes anymore..after surgery I couldn't stomach them. I use protein Soups likeI love the Triple Zero Greek yogurts, walnuts, Peanut Butter and celery are my favorites right now Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal AppNo breakfast but my first meal isIs she heavy as well? I did not tell my best friend I had surgery because I knew she wouldn't be supportive. She's always been my eating out buddy. One of her other friends had WLS and I got to hear her talk about what a stupid decision it was..I decided to tell a couple of coworkers that I knew would be supportive and my immediate family. I only wanted positive support and although I love my best friend..I wasn't going to listen to her being negative toward my decision..or worse..think she could talk me out of it..so 10 weeks out and she still doesn't know. Somethings to some people just don't need to be shared.I'm cleared to eat it..I'm 10 weeks out but have an awful time digesting it..hate it because I love salad and veggies..
