👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 22 MONTHS POST VSG/ 2 MONTHS POST RNY CONVERSION 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 ❤❤❤❤❤ weight unknown: on a trip ❤❤❤❤❤ I suspect my weight is in the 150s still as I can see/feel it in my skin but i will not be near a scale for at least another week. Not worried about it. Updates: Developed a stricture and had a dilatation to fix it. No big deal 👏 Cannot eat mechanically separated poultry (turkey sausage, chicken deli meat, etc) my body rejects it. Mostly maintaining despite conversion/complications 🙌 Life is basically back to normal so... Selfies and food pics (boring because variety was halted for bit)

MANY ❤ MANY ❤ MANY ❤ THANKS

I used to cut them in half before roasting so no one had an excuse to dislike them 😂 Is that a roasted lemon too? 😍

Good Morning Beauties! B-Side Question: Did you form any completely new habits pre/post op?

Oh yes! Fall definitely has a scent As a child it used to be crunchy oak leaves, hot chocolate on brisk mornings, pencil shavings and paper Now its baking sweet potatoes, apple orchards, steamy boiling water, wool and leather

They do that on purpose, I swear lol ! "Last one... Just one more... One minute left..." All lies 😂

Numbers 1-5 are within normal range of expected early post op conditions Number 6 needs to be addressed immediately. You need more positive reinforcement now more than ever. Perhaps you look authentic, brave and beautiful instead Good Luck 💜

*Basically* the same (both are calcium) but one is better absorbed post surgery (citrate) Ask your team if it matters in your particular case. Good Luck 💜

Sounds like reflux...

Listen to your Surgeon... If they are trying to give you the best outcome possible, consider it. Good Luck 💜

Salads and temporary contract work (Uber/Lyft/Airbnb) Good Luck 💜

*fitted*

Its actually a maternity dress (I know 😒 but it was on sale for $5) in XS

Thank you! Not too bad actually. I feel like an endoscopy pro now 😂 I have experienced marked improvement already! Good Luck tomorrow!

yogurt with fiber cereal as granola 😂

Thats why plastics is a big thing in our community. *Sometimes* you just cant get all the results you want without a little help. 💜

Go directly to the bariatric surgeons practice you will be using and chevk if they use a dedicated pcp list for process approval. A lot of practices will have something like this set up to help the process along. Good Luck 💜

*Burst In* Am I late !?!?!? No.. Whew 😂 I often altered my clothes as I lost weight insyead of buying new things. No pattern, just a tape measure to compare current size with clothing size then reduce the clothing by the difference (e.g. waist of clothing is 42 minus new my current waist 39 equals a 2-3 inch reduction.) Make sure to measure each part of the clothing that you are altering agains your new size and reduce each area by the proper amount. YouTube will have great tutorials that make it simple and easy to follow along. Good Luck 💜

1. You NEED to go to that follow up. You'll likely need another Dilatation (or two) before feeling relief. The stretch the stricture out with the understanding that it will likely close back down. So they do it a few times. 2. Chronic ailments are lousy and make people feel lousy. Sorry. But in order to heal and get relief you have to ask and answer questions. Communication will be key to finding the right medical approach. I agree that you should write down questions and read them instead of being frustrated in the moment. Good Luck 💜
