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

Did you use specific abbreviations etc?

She may not think flour, eggs, bananas, etc. are things you and the rest of your family cannot have anymore. Especially if she tolerates them well or has tweeked the recipe to make it acceptable for everyone. It may have just been an oversight. I can make pies etc (that seem off limits but they aren't) and simply adjust the ingredients slightly to go regular or super bariatric style. Sometimes the ingredients are so natural amf whole food styled i see no reason to make it Bari specific style. But at almost 2 years out as well i can tolerate those items and work them into my life. Please consider trying confront the issue plainly instead of speculating because your relationship may be affected. Your Mother could be a fantastic resources for you (or cautionary tale) p.s. IF you find out it is sabotage... *accidentally* drop the food in the trash 😁 Good Luck 💜

I plan to try the things (I can have) too!

I feel like my life is not conducive to white pants...elementary teacher and mom to two little boys 🤣 Don't let anyone steal your white pant opportunities !!! Just don't let anyone touch you 😂

Depends of the Surgeon and they will let you know ahead of time. If it's done its usually placed while under general anesthesia so you won't feel or see it happen.

Maybe negligence not sabotage... Only you would really know BUT I would suggest telling her EXACTLY what you do and don't want. Clarify everything so no one is in the dark about the new family diet moving forward. Adamantly saying no to non-Bari friendly foods people offer isn't rude its self preservation. Good Luck 💜

Google: Telogen Effluvium for more info on why

💜CONGRATULATIONS💜

I can't wait to go to my State's Fair! So much to do and see!

I agree. I even gave up coffee permanently this round just to be safe.

I used it off and on for about 6 months. It tastes similar to the other natural sugar free sweeteners. However I began to have a tingling mouth so I suspected an allergy or sensitivity so i don't use it often anymore

Prior to my first surgery almost 2 years ago: ~ 250 lbs Revision 1 week ago: ~ 157
