I wondered the same thing when I was fresh out of WLS so I never really ate liquidy soups. Now that I'm a little ways out I'm more relaxed about having liquids and solids together. I still don't eat and drink at the same time unless I begin coughing/choking. But I will sometimes drink until I begin eating or not wait the full 30mins after eating to drink again (and sometimes I wait hrs between each)

I'm still convinced that virgin weightloss surgeries have a different level of restriction than revisions but don't worry about it, success can still be achieved. Try to move slowly through the foods to check for food intolerances vs a structural issue such as stricture. Good Luck

I think the streets were cleaned after the protests. But I'm happy that my small city didn't destroy itself instead there were murals painted on the business that boarded up their glass

❤ CONGRATULATIONS ❤

Try a heating pad/hot water bottle for the neck pain 🏆 CONGRATULATIONS 🏆

IMHO ... Take your pain meds on time everytime so the pain doesn't catch up with you. If the pain meds are not helping call your team for a different choice and if your pain worsens over time instead of getting better let them know ASAP. Good Luck!

Thanks! Can't hardly wait for your journey to begin 😍

Turkey & cheese wrap w/ mustard, salad & banana peppers I used these wraps 😍 Fork for size reference

OMG Thank you 😍 I started saying i wanted plastics 2 yrs ago and had to clue/plan where to start. I'm so happy so many others helped with questions and those that joined me and paved the way in our Sophomoric class like @Sophie7713 @sillykitty @ms.sss @rs @mousecat88

I am still swollen and recovering as I am only 12 days post op (I think 😊) but a few pic to show progress so far Before and After Scar line 5 days p o (looks scary but healing well) lots of bruising this time scar easily hidden by underwear And if my Surgeon ever suggests I need more work... 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Since this summer is probably going to be *complicated* and I didn't think i would get to fully enjoy it, I decided to finish (for now) my plastics journey. Initially i lost weight during quarantine by following a few exercise routines. Muscle tone was improving but looking in the mirror i was not satisfied with how my skin was laying on my body. I realized i didn't need to be thinner but tighter and after major weightloss or WLS, major skin tightening is nearly impossible to do with surgical intervention. I decided i also want a fuller rounder behind after all to look more balanced. I decided that i NEEDED a BBL. So I set on the very hard 😂path to gain about 10-15 lbs. My surgeon reminded me of our earlier conversations about mt skin laxity and refused to give me just a BBL without skin lifting /removal. He even warned me that i didn't even have enough choice fat (abdominal stubborn fat) for it anyway, My problem was excess thick skin 😒 We moved ahead with the back lift with some minor fat transfer and he was right. My results are transformative. I need to stay at my higher weight for a few months in order to allow the fat that was transfered an opportunity to live and grow. But i honestly look better now that 15lbs ago and my clothes still all fit the same, mostly. Apparently loose skin is a drag on your clothes sizing.

I actually went out in real clothes two days in a row (to support local businesses) Going to the cafeteria and apothecary 😂 and to go to the farm stand

We stopped by our local urban farm and grabbed dill, lavender, sage, scallions and asian greens

These look perfect 😍 Now I want pancakes

I mostly feel bored with eating, sometimes it feels like the VSG full pressure and sometimes it feels like everything could come back up with one more bite.

Ask your team about iron & b12 supplements

Somethings move through quicker than others. I find eating very very slowly, not just chewing a lot but also stepping away from my meals to do other things helps measure my fullness. Unfortunately my full, filled or satisfied sensation comes around 15 to 18 mins after eating. Quite annoying really 😒

😂😂 Grab some 😂😂

It's likely just sliding through

❤ Welcome ❤

IMHO... Listen to your surgeon. GERD *may* get worse then you'll end up with a bypass anyway. Good Luck ❤

Welcome Back Kat ❤ Seems like you've done everything you can... Time to reach out to the Doctor especially with vomiting and pain. Let us know how it goes !

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook
