????????????????? I can't even afford to sit around and look like me anymore

Definitely Sopa & Sancocho but try to make them lower calorie, Pollo Guisado but no mangu and plantanos until atleast 4- 6 months out (ask your Team first, it may slow down weight loss early on) I would definitely skip arroz con anything until you reach maintenance.

Now I want to exercise , but...

I have the same one

What is the machine in the photo?

Me ! I'm a food voyeur, as I still can't handle everything and probably never will But I thought it might be a bit too much to ask people to take pics while biting into food so I can live vicariously through them ??

Sooooo I've noticed by drinking a little (mixed into something) almost every morning since Feb 28th that it speeds up digestion and evacuation ? Also not super certain its related but *may* have an additional weight loss effect because I'm close to the low end of my weight window again, despite eating whatever I want. *I also resumed a protein shake per day again so I'm meeting the reqs & not just eating carbs but this did not replace a meal

Good question! *Maybe* start a separate thread so a lot more people can chime in without flooding this one ❤

Ask your Team. But, in the early days post op *perhaps* focus on a maintaining a caloric deficit to maximize weight loss. Peanut Butter is very calorically dense. Most tend to eat more that a single serving because its usually not weighed or measured accurately. If at 2 weeks post op you should be consuming ~600 cals (confirm amount with your Team), peanut butter will be 1/6 -1/3 your intake for the day. Good Luck ❤

Hahahahahaha, nope this is just the pose that makes my hips stand out ?

Homemade Fish Sandwich

Homemade bread (white wheat flax) specially made for Purim meals ? I eat less and less bread these days

Congratulations?

Sit on a lower level or lay down with the baby ? If I remember correctly the restriction is to prevent hernia from developing.

Baby wipes/wet wipes

Compared to... Where? NYC? LA? Mexico? Colombia? Dominican? Turkey? Abu Dhabi? Or which combination of procedures? Breast aug/Tummy Tuck? Breast aug/Brazilian butt lift? Lipo/Tummy tuck? Brazilian butt lift/Lipo? Breast aug/Lipo? There are a lot of variables in consideration of price. My surgery was not very expensive (to me) considering that I am very satisfied ❤ Below a link to surgeons chiming in on the matter https://www.realself.com/question/mommy-makeover-cost

Depends on the surgery but yes. With VSG you may have a reduction in hunger, strong restriction initially controlling caloric intake per eating session and *pyloric valve remains intact. With RNY you have a smaller stomach attached directly to the intestines so initially you may have reduced hunger but mostly caloric and nutritional malabsorption, *pyloric valve and below is bypassed until the intestines reunited lower in the digestive tract. Duodenal switch/SIPS/etc. You will have a mixture. The anatomy of VSG higher in the digestive tract before a complex rerouting of Intestines lower in the digestive track with a mixture of restrictions & caloric/nutritional malabsorption. *Pyloric valve controls frequency and timing of the emptying of stomach contents into intestines ABSOLUTELY all of these surgeries can be worked around/cheated on by overconsumption of calories/increased frequencies of meals/etc which leads to major regain. Sometimes this stretches the newly revised stomach but for most it's the excess calories long-term that's the real problem. For most people these surgeries are just jumpstarts to better habits or changed lifestyles to maintain the weight ❤

Looks so good?

Yes!!!!

Ahh sometimes forget! Tastes like gouda and mild swiss mixed together (to me anyway)

Regular colby jack on Joseph's Lavash flat bread ?

Grilled cheese and cucumbers

I'm proud of you ?

I can't even remember!? 1-2weeks but it eas summer so popsicles/Halotop(?)/soup/tea were my saving grace
