The Aldi Bread and Thin Slim bread IMHO is not comparable except the fact that the both have zero net carbs. Sorry if I that distinction was not clearer 🥺 I tried Thin Skin about a year before I tried L'Oven and I thought it was ok but not nearly as realistic in taste & texture as L'Oven. If I want a traditional sandwich I'd choose L'Oven, if I wanted to make French toast I'd choose Thin Slim (plain white, I've never tried honey) My sister who is not a WLS person also could not handle the gastro effects, must be the type of fiber IDK, but I had no issues Ezekiel bread is really good & I like it because it tends to be hard/dry which I appreciate more than soft bread. Whew! Since getting the zero carb bread, I haven't talked this much about bread in the WLS Community in a long while. I feel like my secret is being revealed & I hope no one is being triggered 🤣

I'm legitimately hoarding my last 2 frozen loaves of zero carb bread so here's a low carb tortilla pizza

I need to try this and the broccoli crust one too 😍

If you are going for WLS, and need to lose weight to meet the requirements just don't tell them you're doing IF 🤷🏽‍♀️ Tell them whatever they want to hear to get over that technical hurdle. If you're doing IF out of habit but no longer need to lose weight to meet WLS requirements then try loosening up and focus on WLS post op lifestyle for now. You'll have plenty to learn and do if you crave structure. Either way IMHO, Kaiser doesn't need to know (about IF) just so they can figure out a disqualifier. Good Luck ♥️

It's common that gallbladder issues occur after WLS. Some Surgeons even remove them as part of WLS to side step the problem altogether. Try to stay in communication with your Team about any worsening symptoms so they are aware and can act quickly. Good Luck ♥️

Hi, Is the vomiting new? Could you previously keep things down but it has become harder instead of easier over time? If you ever experience any increasingly negative physical change, it's time to reach out to your Team for guidance. Otherwise perhaps step back from problematic foods as you may not be ready for them despite expected food progression & eat very very slowly/chew past the point of recognition. Sometimes food is still too big/rough for altered digestive systems. Good Luck ♥️

♥️ CONGRATULATIONS ♥️

Expensive as all **** but... isopure (dutch cocoa was my early fav), syntrax nectar, genepro seem to be popular choices. Also BariatricPal store sells a large variety of protein shake and protein supplement alternatives if shakes aren't your cup of tea https://store.bariatricpal.com/pages/search-results-page?q=protein*

So...I couldn't handle the bread (like I didn't already know that 🤦🏾‍♀️) and payed the price. Here's a low carb tortilla burrito several hours later featuring a fire stick remote for size comparison 🤣

Thank you for checking on me 😍 I am safe (Rochester is quite far from me) but prayers of justice for the victim's families ♥️

Season fish to taste then lightly dust with flour (optional) Place on a nonstick/oiled/parchment papered cookie sheet then bake at 350° - 375° until crispy, So very easy !

Breakfast: Kale + stew + challah (eggless 🤣)

I *rushed* in by seriously considering it around 2.5 weeks before having round #1 Plastic surgery and 2 weeks before round #2 🤣 I doubt you'll move faster than that, but I was ~2yrs post my initial WLS & 6 months post conversion. I was not at a stable weight, but a stable range. So many different paths to Plastics, do what works best for you ♥️

What's next/ the Surgeon's plan? Get Well Soon ♥️

Rosh Hashanah meal (Yom Teruah) Whole wheat challah (rustic), kale & mushroom lasagna (BF's), Jacob's stew (pink bean style - mine) mashed potatoes, oven crisped tilapia & spring mix Not featured failed attempt at peach cobbler 😭

Welcome to the club!!!!

I was briefly in Ocean City this summer too!

All insightful advice above my opinion: Choose peace and happiness (which ever path that may be) Good Luck ♥️

Wait there's a day dedicated to spicy chicken nuggets?

Yellow rice and pink bean stew w/ salad for the BF because he should finally eat like an vegetarian 🤣 I just had the salad and beans

Lordt ... I was going to mention that you forgot to tell us about the huge pepper, then I realize it was painted on the plate... Off to bed I go 🤣

Also consider adding B1 (with your teams guidance) @crystaldawn81 (low levels can cause thiamine deficiency https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/thiamine-deficiency-symptoms )
