Good Luck ❤️

First of all! congratulations on Onederland, you look amazing ❤️ I think people tend to relax once they’ve reached a goal and that’s probably natural. If you have further to go, rest but don’t stop and certainly don’t go backwards if you can help it I have no particular words of wisdom when it comes to food choices except what you eat the majority of the time becomes your diet/lifestyle. Indulgences are the exception not the rule. Whatever you do, try for long term sustainability (under the direction of your team of course) Sometimes indulge in what maybe considered junk foods. I think it’s common. But it’s not super often I eat something I wished I didn’t or wasn’t in my plan. There were just things I was never going to give up. It may have meant I was NEVER going to reach lower weights (but I also don’t bounce around a lot) I’ve made my peace with that. This works for me but it’s not for everyone. Perhaps choose the lifestyle that will give you the results you want and allow you to be happy. Good Luck ❤️

Lunch: turkey and cheese on matzah, chips and carrots (also full-size carrots > baby carrots any day 🤣)

You may have had your first stall. There are thousands of post related to this so you are not alone. It is very, very frustrating and confusing especially when you are being diligent. Some people switch things up like hydration (increase only), physical activity or calories (only increase or decrease with permission from your team) but usually it breaks without any intervention. Good Luck!

I have no experience with this in particular but Is it possible to just change over to the Medicaid Humana plan? Another tip is to call (Medicaid hotline) as ask for a list of providers that accept only Medicaid. Good Luck ❤️

Then I hope for a speedy recovery and less stress for you both soon ❤️

Most surgeons aren’t doing the band anymore so it might be tough to find medical support if you need it. You may only be able to find surgeons who are willing to remove them and revise to a different WLS. RNY and VSG are the most popular by far. Ask your surgeon questions. The choice between them should be based on what’s best for you. Hopefully your surgeon can explain the factors that go into their recommendations and you choose based on research and your comfort level. I would recommend protecting yourself from information overload especially watch “experience” video or reading testimonials. Your experience will be totally your own. I also recommend If at all possible to clean and organize your space to be clutter free so your recovery is smoother (Imagine tripping on something after having surgery or needing to clean your bathroom or mop the floors immediately after surgery). Good Luck ❤️

Wholeheartedly agree

IMHO People have to do what’s right for their situations. If that means not disclosing, their choice.

@ChubRub Proof of scrunchies and my dazzling personality 🤣

I also wore scrunchies (but in middle school) 🤣

I also am not paleo but I like the banana pancakes. Are bananas considered paleo? 2 ripe bananas, 1 egg, coconut oil for cooking. Blend egg and bananas until smooth, then cook like traditional pancakes.

I prefer Baritastic to MFP. I don’t enjoy tracking. I can do it if I need to but I it’s work to me. I used MFP for a long time until I was notified that my personal data breached was twice because of the parent company (UnderArmour) was breached. That’s when I stopped using it. When I needed to track food again I tried Baritastic and found it much easier to use especially the label scan feature (MFP might have this also) I also find the frontend of the Baritastic app more visually appealing.

I opened one of my unboxed sewing machine (I had several but recently gave them away) to alter and hem my daughter’s prom dress 😳 IMG_2737.MOV

Get well soon! ❤️

Good Luck! I liked Isopure Dutch chocolate.

Huge congratulations!

Often I find thirst can mimic hunger after WLS. Try hydrating first (with something plan appropriate and you actually like) to see if that helps. Good Luck and congratulations on a safe surgery ❤️

I hope you and your husband are doing ok ❤️

Amazing !

This.

Oatmeal (rare breakfast) I believe this is a 1 cup glass so about .80 cup serving

The ballon topper i bought at a party store, but you have to assemble it yourself. It really wasn’t that much frosting (60% of a jar used) but it was the whipped type that looks fluffier.

My must have is baby wipes (or any type of wipe) because a ton of people will be touching you but you can’t immediately. Congratulations and Good Luck!

Amazing!
