Bathroom celfie time 😂

Hey WLS Fam 😍 Updates: Yesterday I was my 3 month post op Surgical/NUT visit. I actually had to delay it a little bit as I was still travelling unexpectedly 😌 (I was 3 months post RNY Conversion on 10/15) On 9/6 I needed a dilatation and for a few weeks after it was hit or miss on if it had worked then all of a sudden I was perfectly fine 🙌💃🏆. I am thrilled. Really patience is key. I know its super frustrating to read when youre in misery but sometimes time is what will do the trick. Not every fix is instant. So it appears I scar to an exaggerated level which is why I stricture and it takes time to show up and relax. I'm keeping an eye on this and will know what the symptoms are so if it happens again we'll take care of it quickly. My surgeon is very very happy that during the endoscopy the sites looked healthy. He also very very happy that I have only lost about 5lbs. He didn't want me to lose anymore weight and was adamant that where i am at is where i belong. I agree because when i dropped to 146 ... Mercy ! The skin on my face and neck started to losen. Nope. We also started to document the rashes under the folds of my skin 😉 and he RX powder for it. I suggest everyone get on top of this ASAP if you can... Labs will be processed this week and I'll know what my latest numbers are soon. All food restrictions have been lifted by my NUT. I still don't really eat bread except on very rare occasions. I never eat rice or pasta (was over them since before surgery), I eat starchy vegetables, legumes and roots at my discretion but not in abundance. But bihhh salads here I come

OooooOooooooo where did you get YOURS because one of my teen daughters just asked for Doc Martens and I'm like...

I think these feelings are VERY normal and not often enough talked about. Probably centered around fear of seeming ungrateful or having the great karmic finger pointing and wagging "you wanted it now well you got it"... IDK {An aside}: After my conversion to RNY my boyfriend began to feel this way for me. He was utterly devasted when more & more foods were added to my no go list (I suspect I'm more adaptive than he is when it comes to that and just was fine) You would have thought he had surgery 😒... I digress But i hope you find that this is a safe space to vent (without fear) and when you need tangible help and suggestion there are plenty of people who are kind enough to talk in private too! (see post above)

Can you find a new team?

Usually the best recommendations come from the Surgeon paired with strong reflection on sustainable lifestyle Good Luck 💙

Don't judge me but... I had a follow up surgeon appt today and thought my smoking hot PA might see me so ... He wasn't even there 😥

That is lovely !

Roll the fluids in your mouth for a second before swallowing & Drink electrolytes drinks Get Well Soon 💙

I dont seriously dont want to pay my utility bills but I have to... So autopay. Set a timer/alarm and adult hard. Good Luck 💙

💙CONGRATULATIONS & SAFE SURGERY💙

I just smile, nod and eat whatever I going to anyways. I actually go today for a followup visit can't wait to hear what they tell me to advance to 😂

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ?!?!?!?! 🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗🙏💗🙏

*************💙CONGRATULATIONS💙*************

My pic from the other day was not clear lol this was my outfit And (although you can not tell from this angle ) I lost the battle and dyed my hair ombre dark auburn/black

It's Tuesday! Although I really wanted to I didnt get any fries today when I missed lunch. It was tge quicker laziest choice and I skipped it

I'm maintaining pretty well, no gainz for me 😂

Lentils & quinoa or navy/white/pink beans and & sweet potatoes

Love this look! Where is this dress from?

I ate substitutes sometimes (protein bars, protein cookies, protein chips, protein ice cream, fiber candy, etc) and the real deals in extreme moderation. It has become very easy to find the subs almost everywhere now thanks to the keto phenomenon so I stick to those if I need a dessert.

Try journaling 💗

Then her response is oxymoronic... The whole purpose of the surgery and lifestyle change was to pursue the weight and fitness goals you could I guess transfer addiction could be a concern teams watch for but it could happen at any weight with any activity, IDK No one would suspect my fake eyelash and horticulture transfer addictions... Bare minimum if I'm being honest, everything else is unsustainable for me.

I barely touched them, It took me 2 days to eat those 4 little pieces. 😳 I *can* and *will* eat chicken but i just don't want to 😒 But the potato salad gone... and no protein in it

I think it will depends on a lot of factors.you could feel AMAZING or completely worn out. But you really will not know until after surgery, sorry. If you must plan well ahead of time (for airfares, hotels etc) consider travel protection plans that provide refunds for medical emergencies but speak directly to someone about all of the specifics. During the trip itself I would suggest packing EXTREMELY lightly, taking electrolyte drops/packets to add to water like mio/Gatorade etc, hydrating nonstop, requesting accommodations/special assistance at the airport/train station/theme park/hotel *wheelchair/scooter* (don't be ashamed or feel guilty), take breaks and bring your pain meds too Good Luck💙
