Condolences to you and your daughter on your loss.

This is super exciting! Is your husband as excited as we are ? 😂

OMG thanks for posting the packaging! I used to be enchanted with the idea of everything I need in one place (Walmart). Now it feels like a labyrinth and I'm tired before I even get there. I tried pick up/delivery once but there were so many substitutions or unavailable items I had to cancel the order.

Turkey Bacon, Cheese and Avocado Wrap. It was originally just going to be turkey bacon and cheese but I forget I needed to finish an avocado I opened. If I make it again I would go without the cheese or less avocado. It's relatively high calorie compared to what I was aiming for but worth it.

Great. Now I have to go to Walmart again this week 😂

I love small booklets 😆 Yes I have seen and dealt with it. I mostly try to ignore it or choose very carefully where I want to participate. I'm trying to give everyone a *little* grace these because we're all having a rough time in some way. I think we're likely to see patterns of general negativity rise everywhere especially when times are tough. The simplest thing can be to leave those negative platforms. That may be the right choice for your happiness and well being. A harder path maybe to try and push out the negativity. Positivity can spread just like negativity, but it takes more effort to cultivate. Viktor E. Frankl's writes in his memoirs of the Holocaust, Man's Search for Meaning : "For the world is in a bad state, but everything will become still worse unless each of us does his best." This always stuck with me. I couldn't understand how someone who experienced the very worst of human behavior could find peace again (if you read the book he outlines his philosophical theories). I hope the forums (and world to a greater extent) become positive and enjoyable again ♥️

Congratulations 🏆

My suggestion is to use a heating pad with auto-off timer instead of a blow-dryer (too risky). I use a heating pad/heated blanket/heated bed sheets nearly constantly since surgery because I'm also ALWAYS cold.

Which brand?

Ok these are pro level tortillas 🔥🏆

FINALLY! 🏆😁

You can water the shakes down to taste. As long and you drink the full amount it will satisfy your protein requirements. Bonus is it will also work towards satisfying your hydration requirements Good Luck ♥️

If you're not in a rush and your Surgeon believes you can wait, why not try? But please remember GERD testing can tell you how severe your situation is and how quickly you need to act. Good Luck ♥️

If you were already approved, talk to your team to see if surgery can be postponed vs cancelled.

I barely felt anything from my lift too. All of the pain was from the TT which definitely still felt painful at 1 week post for me. I went home around day 8 or 9 and after 2 weeks I felt much better.

I think it's very similar. I think the progression through the food staged are the same. You may experience dumping or not. You may initially loose weight from the surgery but you can maintain your weight if you are diligent (or gain weight if you are not careful) You may also have a different type of full sensation (or lack thereof) Recovery may be similar to your first WLS or slightly faster (especially if this will be done laparoscopically) since it will correct a problem. Good Luck ♥️

Sorry, it must be painful. Get Well Soon ♥️

Any bariatric specific vitamin is a safe choice since they are formulate for the WLS community.

I think everyone should subtract the last year from their age 😂

For me : Original WLS of VSG - tightness or pressure in chest/esophagus/throat , inability to take "one more bite" and no interest in finishing. Conversion to RNY - Bored with eating followed by heaviness in the lower abdomen, slight tightness in throat after a while, disgusted at the thought of "one more bite".

I have analysis paralysis 😩

No catheter for me ♥️

Eggplant parmesan (from local restaurant) with avocado and salad. I have no clue what the real cals are so I chose the highest for the category but I ate about 75%.
