Its the Walmart wall of mirrors 😂

Hi there, I was able to have VSG through NYS funded health insurance. Anyone else have the same insurance or situation and want to share tips or stories for future patients? Or just want to ask questions? Lets do it here!

Yogurt and BFs side of grits that no one wants 😂

I firmly follow this rule But Ask your Surgeon/Team when/if you can... Good Luck 💜

I would suggest making dietary changes prior to surgery so its not a big shock to your system/lifestyle. Google Telogen Effluvium for more info on hairloss

Damn. Am I the only one that DGAF? I will wear whatever I want, whenever without care as to how my loose skin, arms, etc *might* look to others I'm super satisfied with my clothed body these days and buy a size I know I can fit. Summer is gonna get the body I give it

Soooo true. My looser clothing (dresses) makes me look 20lbs heavier if i don't cinch at the waist with a belt

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Looks so effortlessly beautiful 😍

So causally cute! Which beach? What state are you in Brazil? I have a friend in Natal/Fortaleza and cannot wait to get there!

I barely ever sweat anymore (except as a symptom of illness)and I'm always cold... 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆Looking FIT🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 B- Side Question: What are your favorite foods? I'm partial to tea, nuts, melon, yogurt, leafy greens, salmon and pastries (always) 😂

💜CONGRATULATIONS💜 Try to focus on the immediate days ahead- recovery. Life will get back to normal fairly quickly and then you can decide what path you want to take with your permanent lifestyle. The effectiveness of this surgery will all be up to you alone. Not going to lie after surgery I thought I would NEVER eat certain things again (because I couldn't or just wouldn't) .It was ambitious & unrealistic, for me. I worked regular and substitute foods into my lifestyle... Often choosing the sub over the traditional version because the differences in tastes weren't noticeable but the effects in my weightloss was (fave alternatives: burgers/sandwiches without bread, wrapped in lettuce instead; sugar substitutes, General Tso tofu, light icecream, CAULIFLOWER PIZZA 😂, etc) I try to consistently make the better choice, indulge sometimes and remain mindful about the bigger picture. Socializing around food is ok but there are so many other things to do. Influence your friends to try new things.

im totally getting an Airfryer now...

Sorry you are feeling this way 💜 However its your surgery day now and exciting things will follow soin. Try to forgive them and focus mainly yourself and amazing journey you are embarking on! Sending positive vibes your way ⚡

Ricotta Bake ! Ricotta , egg, spices ... bake Made for my BF (sauce and cheese) , mine is plainer LOL

First follow up with Surgeon: Doing well so we advanced my diet to soft phase (eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, ricotta, etc) Port sites healing well, walking enough, drinking fine etc. Told no smoking drinking alcohol, lifting things over 15 lbs. (Don't do any of this anyway 😂) Side note: Asked the question about prevalence of GERD in VSG patients and was provided with the info that he counsels patients who are considering the sleeve that there is a ~30% chance of GERD developing (~30% chance of no development, ~30% chance of it being reversed through VSG) if there was any history of reflux. I didn't have Reflux regularly prior to surgery only during my first pregnancy He said about 1/3 of people *may* develop it after VSG. I found that really interesting... Has anyone else been provided this type information? Anyways here's the food ive made/tried so far: yogurt, cottage cheese and ricotta bake (everyone else's version featured)

Hahahahahaha

Tents!?!?!?! No more camping in the clothes!

💜CONGRATULATIONS💜

💜CONGRATULATIONS & SAFE RECOVERY💜
