I can never tell unless something in the menu gives it away! Griot or any French/patois words -Haitian, “Ackee”-Jamaican and “Doubles”- Trinidadian. But this could be pan Caribbean! edit: I see the blurry “authentic Jamaican” on the sidewalk sign 😂 -

Incretins like GLP-1, GIP, DPP-4 were isolated in the 1980s, these mimetic have been in trials since the 1990s and received FDA approval in the early 2000s for the treatment of Diabetes. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6497767/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5707151/#:~:text=First in man studies reported,36)amide in human subjects. What’s new is the technology (delivery, longevity, combination), indications for obesity, insulin resistant, metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular issues, PCOS and even addiction. The consensus is that these medications are long term. No need to worry about what happens if they go off of them because they are intended to be a life long commitment for most (but so is WLS). https://dom-pubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dom.14496 As far as support with lifestyle, Wegovy (FDA approved for obesity) offers a support program https://www.wegovy.com/coverage-and-savings/get-wegotogether-support.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIh6Tc2Ynm_wIV1TjUAR3YdgGuEAAYASADEgLARfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Also Weight watchers just bought one of the biggest telehealth prescribers of this class of medications https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/weightwatchers-buys-telehealth-platform-sequence-ozempic-wegovy-rcna73753 I’m all for new tech and there hasn’t been any major breakthroughs in the management of obesity that works this well since WLS. Many candidates for WLS may never pursue it, also many WLS patients battling regain may not be eligible for revisions. The access to a pharmacological route that works is an amazing step in the right direction and I’m absolutely on board with the advancement of the science in this field. -

Milk and cookies My daughter plant based/vegan again 🙄. I tried some of her cookies but they were very calorie dense so I’m not interested in trying them again. -

Sounds like either “food coma” or you’re chewing a lot which (congratulations!) counts as exercise -

And so it begins...day 1 of my pre-op liquid diet...
GreenTealael replied to SleeveToBypass2023's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Because I didn’t want to do it 😂 Thats my hands down honest assessment. It was like “been there, done that” I didn’t think there was any real need for me to experience it again. But I completed it because it was required. -
Mounjaro side effects
GreenTealael replied to jstec2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Most people who use it need to supplement more often with electrolytes. -

Same. I did not enjoy the preop diet the second time around. -

No! Please don’t make better choices because of peer pressure. Lol. Make bad choices for me, I want to live vicariously through everyone on this thread. My food choices are like this because I generally don’t like food anymore 🤡 -
Ok I think it’s time you went through all of you forgotten treasures and show us. 😍

Yesterday’s food (only the things I took pics of but there were other foods throughout the day) Parfait w/peach, blueberries and strawberries & Salmon pate w/ crackers, baby lettuce and baby carrots (ate about half) Total calories for the day was about 1600. I never track total calories anymore but I often spot check certain meals to see how much protein I’m getting. It was wild to see that I tracked about 60g protein but over 100g carbs. I’m not limiting carbs by any means but the fiber content was well below 28g so I know I could have made better choices (I’m look at you muffins and biscotti 😂) -
