💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂 20 MONTHS POST OP & MY BIRTHDAY IS IN JULY 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤157 lbs BMI 27❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ WELL WELL WELL WELL WELL WELL WELL WELL updates: I need to be revised to RNY for GERD, etc. Through extensive testing my issue was found to be *mechanical* in nature. Without disclosing too much personal medical information all I will say is would need to continue with mutiple invasive treatments over an extended period of time plus meds w/ a surgical procedure for an aux related issue or fix it all at one time with one procedure. Y'all know what I'm gonna choose, right? Yeah... Other than that it's a burden lifted to have relief within my grasp. Surgery is scheduled for 7/15 barring any complications/surprises I'm already approved by insurance and I'm really shocked/dismayed because it took them just 2 lousy days... I was hoping my case wasn't that serious and I was just being dramatic/hypochondriac. But that approval coming back so fast really has opened my eyes. I should have gone in for this consult sooner maybe? Saved my summer? Whatevs. Already in the dreaded 2 week preop diet. No. Words. Dante's unexplained layer of hell. Reserved for people who met goal but still need to shrink their livers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 but enough whining. Here are lifestyle pics and pics of what I enjoyed while I could... Because liquids for quite a while *disclaimer: + I NEVER eat sauce + I 💚 Kale (fight me) +All Starbucks cups are homemade teas/protein shakes +I do smile more often but not usually without cause because I'm conscious of preventing wrinkles 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

🔼AGREED🔼 This is a Very common concern. In fact I just asked one of my new surgeons last night at a seminar (I'm being converted to RNY) about it because I wanted to get info again for everyone. He said he almost never see it with the patients of any of his various surgeries (VSG,RNY,DS &SIPS) who follow the protocol of the vitamins and protein strictly. He also said hes seen it (usually) occurs between 5-8 months post op and never beyond that if the patient is properly nourished. He recommended adding biotin as extra support. I did a bit of extra curricula research almost 2 years ago now during prep for VSG and came across med journals using LLysine (amino acid) as a supplement for halting hairloss. So I'm doing it, again... Talk to your team 💜

I'm currently loving popsicles sugar free

Definitely check in with your surgeon & try the changes you mentioned and let us know how it works out!!! You may help solve someone else's bariatric mystery

They usually refer to proteins, carbohydrates and fats

*Uncle Jessie Voice* Have Mercy... Since becoming a minimalism enthusiast i have whittled away at my collection of all accessories so now i live by the get one give one rule (or the Ghandi over Beyonce equation 😝) In fact i woke up today and did three loads of laundry to donate to the locate thrift shop. I'm also donating shoes I don't/never wear/wore. But i did just buy two new pairs of vegan (extremely hipster way of saying pleather) sandals that I have been wearing non stop and I 💜 them.
