🔔Welcome Welcome🔔

Food still tastes the same to me but only slightly too sweet or salty because it usually is (if i didnt make it myself). That's enough to make me not enjoy it. The only condiments i have used since surgery are maple syrup, tomato sauce, mayo, mustard and liquid aminos (almost always in recipes)

I didn't really workout until 4 months post op when i joined a gym. Prior to that it was home exercises, walking and jumping rope. I only walk now but plan to lift again once cleared to minimize my plastics budget.

Yeah decided to stripdown/modify my green drinks after surgery

Oh no! please dont hurt me Kale 😭 I would be devastated I'm newly revised as well and I had a few shaky moments over the past week with foods i was fine with prior. I cannot have cream based soups anymore. It makes me too quesy. Luckily i dont need them. I know think any super fatty food that isn't a nut may bother me. Also the smell of foods are heightened as well. Otherwise ive been taking it *somewhat* slowly and eating the foods im used to. I'm curious about vegetables/leafy greens as those are my loves.

Yup that was me at Wholefoods. Being super duper heathy. And granted it is by some standard because its not soda but i realize from experience that you can't/don't quite see it until you diligently need to track everything.

I used to put peaches and cream in my Matcha (we're on a break 😭) but not strawberry yet... I'm still in the 150s so no big deal How long is your bypass ?

My Team never gave me a goal number just a BMI to initially get under 29/28. So any number in that range was fine. It's still considered overweight but I was told (by my very hot PA of Scottish decent) that people in the range of 26-28 BMI live longer according to studies (I never actually looked it up because I wanted to believe him and still eat pastries)

Thanks! I hope my muscles stick around i haven't gymed in a long time. Im also thinking i dont have the large bone structure i thought i did... You know the lie you tell yourself when youre overweight... I'm just big boned 😒 Maybe also im having luck with sizes because i don't wear pants... I do wear workout gear to sit around of course 😂 Tons of excess fat and skin - I have it too. My most problematic area is my midsection, i need plastics ... hard core... *pun intended* I'm trying to figure out if i can have a mommy makeover ×3 because I still have a pregnancy shape 151 months later 😒😂

I wear most of my clothing fitted so S/M Maybe I'm only hitting all of the vanity sizing stores but i don't think so because im consistently able to fit my kids clothes

Hmmm i think i want a DEXA scan now, these are some of my sizes

Check with your team/insurance policy to make sure your approval will not be affected by weightloss prior to surgery. Otherwise, they may suggest you start now anyway. Congratulations in advance 💜

Losing weight (after WLS) does happens through metabolic and dietary changes However Raising your basal metabolic rate, strengthen of fascia and prevention of muscle atrophy can only happen through exercise (strength training in particular) That's why its usually prescribed as a part of a comprehensive plan. Humans need to move. Dr. V had *some* points (especially if exercise becomes punishment for food crimes) but there is a notable difference in the physical shape you'll be in if you do/don't exercise I've experienced both sides to the coin

I have done a modified version from the start (~2 oz of pp in coffee 1x daily-breakfast) It helped ease me into the lifestyle and I was able to do it for 5 days straight my first go Ive also done purer fasts wet and dry. What I noticed was the dryer the fast (consumption of no calories or liquids) the faster hunger dissipated and the quicker I lost weight (so I reserve these for religious & medical reasons) These days I have given up coffee entirely 😭, but my tea has a little cream in it. I did IF by accident yesterday and ended up losing 2lbs overnight (likely from water weight but TMI: im in the luteal phase of my cycle where I traditional gain lbs) HAPPY FASTING EVERYONE

Also a correction I only could find 8... The others must be hiding.😂 I'm definitely getting silicone sheets to help fade them.

Find the manufacturer(s) of the med and call to see if thet can offer help if you cannot afford your meds

I have 10 😒
