I can’t wait for soup season!

👌🏽

I have definitely experienced this. I tend to eat a lot more more vegetables on these days.

Definitely let your team know this is happening. It seems like it will be trial and error for you to determine what foods do/don’t sit well with you. Avoid the ones that don’t for now. Perhaps try to keep your foods simple for a while (one ingredient) to rule out sensitivities. You are still in the early days so it could just be temporary intolerance. One other cause could be foods that are digested too quickly (everything you mentioned is very slippery smooth) may affect you this way. Feel better soon!

Definitely see a OBGYN , don’t be shy to ask for hCG labs and an ultrasound to confirm.

How could they leave you behind 😭?

Everything looks perfect 😍 I’m always in favor of positive change (let us know when you open a bakery!)

How was the mashed cauliflower? Looks just like mashed potatoes!

My middle child is vegan again 😩 I need supports group for the amount of cooking I’ll need to do now 😂 #help

Went to a Pumpkin patch with my kids. This is one of our family traditions and I’m glad they are “too cool” for it yet.

A Long charger cord (why are the outlets in hospitals always so far away?) & personal wipes (many people will touch you and you aren’t bathing) I think the tendency to make everything around WLS exciting or an “experience” can make us overthink. I would take the same sort of things that I would need for an overnight trip somewhere inconvenient 😂 nothing nice or valuable

Echoing the previous posts - Sounds like structure. When I had one the food would come up without any resistance or prompting. Contact your team as this usually isn’t something that resolves on its own.

Very typical and not talked about enough. However you can still feel fullness just of a different kind. Occasionally I can still feel the VSG restriction with very solid things. But now it’s mostly a lower abdomen heaviness and disinterest in the food that warns me when I’m done. Be patient and you’ll notice your signals eventually ❤️

True!

Gas stations now have protein shakes, boiled eggs, yogurt and nuts. These will help in a pinch. You’ll do great, just use the bathroom as often as you can (don’t wait or hold it) Congrats on the move ❤️

I got the same thing just in fraction form. Is there even a possibility to log that odd /low amount ?

5/6c but why even bother 😂

No , this is when I remember food the most 😂

Finally remembered to log a meal (in the middle of eating)! It feels like a burden even though it’s easy 🤦🏾‍♀️ Egg in a basket iDK what I’ll do if they stop making this bread. It’s so good and basically all fiber.

One underrated tip I was given: Add more fiber. I was told to try to get at least the daily value (28g I think). I was nowhere close to it. So now I use clear unflavored fiber supplements that I can add to drinks because getting enough fiber from food alone can be challenging. I also like high fiber foods like L’oven Keto friendly wheat bread (Aldi brand) and higher fiber vegetables/foods (when I remember) https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/should-i-be-eating-more-fiber-2019022115927

Congratulations!!! Taking a lot of full length photos to help document your progress is very helpful

Weight loss with the ESG tends to be slower and lower. If you are still having a very low rate of weight loss (lower that expected by your surgeon) by the next surgeon appointment, please express your concerns and don’t hide the true weigh loss amount. If you still have lingering concerns request an endoscopy to check the suturing.

Happy Belated Birthday @Kris77
