  1. Hi! Most likely it will come down to what the Surgeon/You both agree is best, what is physically possible and best for your particular situation. Take their advice very seriously but advocate for yourself and seek info out too. Eventually i plan to self pay for any plastics so... Joking joking joking, i lack the musculature for all of that...

    Uncertain what surgery to get.

    The choice is ultimately yours But IMHO My suggestion is if you already have Reflux choose the better bet at fixing it, the Bypass. If it gets worse with VSG you will need to control it with meds indefinitely or revise. And by no means (would i in your shoes knowing what i know) bank on the no hunger thing... You may eventually feel hunger again, some surgeons suggest its inevitable but to what extent varies. ❀ Good Luck ❀

    i also tap on it to listen for reverb or feel the vibration to make sure it wasn't force ripened or really old (mushy inside) other than that i look for the darkest color line. i have no clue if that will determine flavor though.

    I am curious about what they will say or how long it will take to get approval results. i have everything laid out but it will all bank on that in the end.

    I'm currently on the highest dose of PPI amd it's not working , yes revision is the recommendation to solve it completely.

    These are my current Matcha powders (the little one was a gift & i haven't tried it yet) but these are the liquid stevia drops I use the most and I've tried a lot of brands πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ My fat sources are exclusively from dairy, olive oil, sometimes hazelnut or macadamia oil, and nuts. I am going to reduce those as well soon to see what happens regarding dumping but the GERD is an inherent mechanism as a result of my sleeve-confirmed with testing.

    Hi! Did you return to your team for help & tips first? That might be the place to start. But also motivation may be hard to find on your own so maybe returning to bariatric support groups if you've stop attending. Have you attempted to refine your diet again? Perhaps removing the foods that arent on your initial plan may kickstart weightloss immediately. Good luck πŸ’œ YOU can do it πŸ†

    No true change to dumping or GERD but I wanted to give it long enough to prove right or wrong I mix Matcha (green tea) powder with liquid lemon stevia into unflavored greek yogurt Its my absolute favorite variation I imagine it would work with any type of yogurt or substitute

    Because cutting it this way looked so satisfying ... I had to try πŸ˜‚

    I'm back BABY!!! Temporarily anyway... I missed yogurt sooooo much. After 2 months without it, plus doctor's visits tp confirm, the conclusion is giving it up probably won't solve my dumping or GERD so here we are together again at last ❀ Matcha lemon yogurt with nuts and raisins (completely mixed in) before and after

    The Maintenance Thread

    Not a VET or Exercise-r But I noticed the vast difference from when i was strength training after surgery vs. When i had to stop. My skin still thanks me for going had when I did because its tighter in the places I focused on 😭 I also think sustainability and flexibility is always a good idea when planning a fitness lifestyle. I think it why walking& running is very popular. Its why i choose to walk

    6/22: I'm going to try this but self affirmations are not my wheelhouse. I feel silly saying things I don't really believe in or subscribe to. I would rather say something like One Day At a Time or Marvel Universe is Not Real... πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
