Good question! *Maybe* start a separate thread so a lot more people can chime in without flooding this one ❤

Ask your Team. But, in the early days post op *perhaps* focus on a maintaining a caloric deficit to maximize weight loss. Peanut Butter is very calorically dense. Most tend to eat more that a single serving because its usually not weighed or measured accurately. If at 2 weeks post op you should be consuming ~600 cals (confirm amount with your Team), peanut butter will be 1/6 -1/3 your intake for the day. Good Luck ❤

Hahahahahaha, nope this is just the pose that makes my hips stand out 😁

Homemade bread (white wheat flax) specially made for Purim meals 😍 I eat less and less bread these days

Congratulations😍

Sit on a lower level or lay down with the baby 😍 If I remember correctly the restriction is to prevent hernia from developing.

Compared to... Where? NYC? LA? Mexico? Colombia? Dominican? Turkey? Abu Dhabi? Or which combination of procedures? Breast aug/Tummy Tuck? Breast aug/Brazilian butt lift? Lipo/Tummy tuck? Brazilian butt lift/Lipo? Breast aug/Lipo? There are a lot of variables in consideration of price. My surgery was not very expensive (to me) considering that I am very satisfied ❤ Below a link to surgeons chiming in on the matter https://www.realself.com/question/mommy-makeover-cost

Depends on the surgery but yes. With VSG you may have a reduction in hunger, strong restriction initially controlling caloric intake per eating session and *pyloric valve remains intact. With RNY you have a smaller stomach attached directly to the intestines so initially you may have reduced hunger but mostly caloric and nutritional malabsorption, *pyloric valve and below is bypassed until the intestines reunited lower in the digestive tract. Duodenal switch/SIPS/etc. You will have a mixture. The anatomy of VSG higher in the digestive tract before a complex rerouting of Intestines lower in the digestive track with a mixture of restrictions & caloric/nutritional malabsorption. *Pyloric valve controls frequency and timing of the emptying of stomach contents into intestines ABSOLUTELY all of these surgeries can be worked around/cheated on by overconsumption of calories/increased frequencies of meals/etc which leads to major regain. Sometimes this stretches the newly revised stomach but for most it's the excess calories long-term that's the real problem. For most people these surgeries are just jumpstarts to better habits or changed lifestyles to maintain the weight ❤

Looks so good😍

Yes!!!!

Ahh sometimes forget! Tastes like gouda and mild swiss mixed together (to me anyway)

Regular colby jack on Joseph's Lavash flat bread 😍

Grilled cheese and cucumbers

I'm proud of you 😁

I can't even remember!😳 1-2weeks but it eas summer so popsicles/Halotop(😁)/soup/tea were my saving grace

Oh! When you mentioned staples I thought large incision. Hoping it goes quickly 😌

Hey! It's commonly believed that the majority of weight loss occurs in the dietary changes vs exercise. But if you want to keep motivation high, try chair exercises until things improve (IMHO save your knees or what's the point really if it will eventually begin to hurt to stand or walk because of over exertion) Your relationship status/type *probably* will not matter much to your weight loss journey unless it's toxic. But (once again) IMHO you must focus on yourself exclusively for a bit in order to set yourself up properly for the future (ingraining good long term habits/coping skills for the life challenges that will surely come) Good Luck 🌈

👋 Hey Québécois 👋

How large/where is your incision? Can you have soup yet? After my revision I dropped more than 10lbs so quickly I looked terrible & I began to have loose skin in my face /neck 😖

Its currently 11°C with an estimated high of 20°C today in the North East US But by Wednesday the low will be -1°C 😳

OOTD that I will pair with sneakers, sweater & leather bomber jacket
