Breakfast at my place is a toss up 😁 One day it's a salad or this sandwich the next can be pretzels and a cheese stick. Quarantine is wild

I'm excited to hear how they are !

By myself because I couldn't find a sugar daddy 🥺🤣

*250 cals *20 g protein *2 net carb breakfast sandwich Same recipe as before (including the bread splitting technique) but with deli turkey this time *I didn't weight the turkey so it maybe slight more but not less than 2ozs so I rounded up

Yes 2 weeks at a hotel can be very costly but is that the last follow up date for seeing your Surgeon again? Perhaps he can accelerated it to 1 week post op and then again at a Little further out. After I returned home from my initial Plastics in January I HAD to attend a family function ~2 weeks later so I wasn't even 1 month post op. It was a 3 hr ride each way and it was totally manageable (but I didn't have to drive myself thank goodness) We did have to stop 1.5 hrs so I could stretch and walk for a few minutes as recommend

Hi! Prior to Plastics I went to my primary to let her know what I was planning and loop her in! It didn't take much convincing since she was a fan of Plastics and had a BA herself (I absolutely ❤️ Doctors that you can bond with and treat you like a real person) My primary became my secondary touchstone for my Plastics journey, orfering labs or meds if necessary before and after surgery. My Plastic Surgeon and I were in constant communication and all of the early home follow ups were virtual & by phone call. If any true emergency arose, I would simply have needed to go to a local hospital. Easy. I could have also flown back to Miami for follow up at anytime if their was an unmanageable issue but I decided to wait (the initial wild uncertainty brought on by COVID) until May to follow up in person and go for round 2. Turns out that telehealth & virtual visits became standard for a lot of physicians this year (including my Bariatric Surgeon) so in retrospect I am comfortable with the way it was all handled. Hope that helped ❤️

Huge thread on IF and it's (anecdotal) efficacy

It is NOT too early. Congratulations ❤️

Welcome to Club Diamox ( joking I hate the stuff, even if it is necessary) You could be retaining more fluids since you are off the diuretic so perhaps monitor your sodium & fluid intake to see if it makes any difference. Also constipation can mimic gain (physical weight from foods ingested vs physical weight of waste not excreted) so whatever will relieve that issue would be helpful to see the scale move again. When it comes to probiotics the strain/species of bacteria maybe just as important as the delivery style. https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/probiotics-may-ease-constipation-201408217377 https://www.bustle.com/p/the-3-best-probiotics-for-constipation-17940859 From my personal experience I fare better if my probiotics come from foods like yogurt (Lactobacillus Acidophilus, et al.) and especially kimchi (Bifidobacterium bifidum, et al.) vs the widely available gummies that were just Bacillus Coagulans https://wildbrine.com/types-of-probiotics/ Also I believe it is very important to consult with your physician about which stains/species to take/avoid and safe amounts because some have been known to build resistance to certain antibiotics https://www.google.com/amp/s/theconversation.com/amp/kombucha-kimchi-and-yogurt-how-fermented-foods-could-be-harmful-to-your-health-126131 Good Luck ♥️

Congratulations , hoping the pain fades quickly ❤️

Have you considered using a post surgerical binder? Here's one, but also check the BariatricPal store to see if they have something similar: https://www.amazon.com/StrictlyStability-Bariatric-Abdominal-Support-Compression/dp/B07NQ3LF1F/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=plus+size+abdominal+binder+post+surgery+women&qid=1602388759&sprefix=plus+size+ab&sr=8-11 Get well soon and Congratulations

♥️ CONGRATULATIONS ♥️

Every time I see you in this jacket I love it more and more ❤️

Happy Friday Everyone 🤣😍

When I had VSG, maybe 5-10 mins for liquids, 15-30 solids With my RNY, immediately for liquids, 5-10 mins solids

Yes!

Your team may require labs soon (if they haven't already) to get an idea of vitamin/mineral levels. Some of the more common vitamin/mineral deficiencies that can cause excessive low energy andake you feel pretty run down are A, B's (B1 & B12 in particular) D, potassium & iron. But can also be chronic low level dehydration and just overall lack of cals. These all usually have easy remedies Hoping you feel better soon ❤️

Thanks ♥️

Thank you! I made it ❤️

There are less expensive versions but I couldn't link them for some reason

My weight tends to normally fluctuate +/- 5-10 lbs. I usually have to regiment myself by eating boring foods (protein 🤣) if I'm up and party foods if I'm down. One thing I have not done/will not do is try to out exercise my fun food phase, I just cut down on them since I know they are the culprit. But also lots of people have gained from stress, and this time has been very stressful. Good Luck ♥️

Although I have a pretty substantial reserve of this bread I'm still rationing 😂 Joking. I have been doing this since the I started buying this bread. It's too thick for me to eat 2 slices in a sandwich so I only use 1, here's how: Lightly toast both sides then cut with a sharp serrated knife * I also added log into (which I never do anymore) to show what a zero *net* carb & 150 cal breakfast sandwich looks like

Congratulations ♥️
