No clue what actual my capacity is ... no doubt smaller (but I suspect its similar to my VSG because I had a stricture then) but it was all the lettuce. I got bored lol. Delicious but boring and tiring to eat so I stopped. I have often thought OMG do I eat too much? But I think that might be a WLS community thing (the desire to eat the least possible=successful surgery=better outcome) I eat different amounts of different things at different times. But in comparison to my strangers, fam and friends I eat almost nothing.

IDK. If we are classifying obesity as a disease and metabolic surgery as the cure then shouldn't it be available as an option. Tons of radical life saving treatments are performed on children without their permission or understanding of future ramifications. I'm not certain I could watch my child suffer for years and years if there are better options available

Ok another *sandwich* this time with Sausalito turkey breast which I do like tons TONS tons of afters (but I put it away & forgot to take a pic 😥) What you can't see under all of the lettuce is cucumbers, cheese and everything bagel spices Also these puffs are pretty AMAZING not overly cheesy salty etc

Every journey is radically different and yours has been sufficient for you , keep at it and don't give up 💪 💙CONGRATULATIONS💙

Hi ! I agree with EVERYTHING above Also I will also be running a November 2019 challenge that will focus on diet/lifestyle clean up. This REALLY jumpstarts weightloss for most as you pay more attention to the thubgs you let return that add extra cals. Watch for that to be posted soon! You can do this!

At 5 days post op it could be gas, reflux, healing/movement of the organs, etc or hunger (but you cannot eat anyway, so let's just call it thirst 😉) Hydrate (water, tea, protein shakes etc) and stay on plan. You can do this! And contacts your Team if anything changes. Good Luck 💙

Help is on the way !

I agree !

The first 3 were all simply off /wrong fit. Ill/well fitting clothing will make you look totally different

Ok. Do y'all have the mental space to let me vent about a completely ridiculous WLS first world problem? Yeah? Great ! I *needed* a new coat. (Long-ish story but my wonderful Cole Haan coat that is dry clean only - I washed/dryed multiple times which is not usually a problem but ... I left it in the dryer too long and it shrunk. Oops 😔 So one of my daughters will get it unless I lose 15lbs) I went shopping and these are the coats/sizes/ranges I tried on: Smalls- which were just right or too big Mediums- which were too small or too big. Larges- which were slightly loose or too big No rhyme or reason to sizing these days Here are are some of the abysmal results: Side not: why the **** does this fitting room have a Michael Westmore FX lighting budget... I look like a Ferengi?!?! Whatevs 😒 So I went to a different store and did finally find something to make sense of all this sizing madness. This is a medium, which is my true size these days. I also bought high riding boot because FOMO 😂

Hmmm I can wear a 34-36 band , 38 is running big You are definitely wearing too big a band size

Got it! Perhaps then you could experiment by going to the bubble tea shop and requesting a sample of the pearls to see if you *like* it and if it sits well with you, maybe try making it yourself ( but a less calorically dense version) https://www.amazon.com/Tapioca-Bubble-Ingredients-Additonal-Variety/dp/B01IEG35TO/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=bubble+tea+kit&qid=1572137990&sprefix=bubble+tea+&sr=8-6

Hi! Can you craft a sugarfree substitute? As a rare treat (quarterly 😂) it *may not* pose a problem but if it becomes a weekly habit, its a lot of cals to drink (A generic cal count - likely on the low side) And a few articles to review: https://www.hungry-girl.com/newsletters/raw/604-the-411-on-boba-and-counting-calories https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5217910/ But I would also like to add that we're all adults here capable of freewill and the choice is always yours Good Luck 💙

Could have been the combo together. Try them separately (hours or days apart) on a weekend to test your tolerance or avoid both until you feel up to it! Good Luck 💙
