Thanks everyone!!! Goodness. Graciousness .. My spell check is trash it loves the wrong words now ? please forgive the mistakes Also my original surgery date was 11/7/17 but I just couldn't upload the post before midnight on the 7th for some reason (I literally fell asleep while writing it) ?

Flourless keto chocolate mug cake with sugar free whipped cream (recipe somewhere deep in this thread) I made this yesterday to celebrate 2nd (original) SURGIVERSARY Before and After

????????????????????? Current Weight 149 BMI 27 Happiness 8/10 ? It's been a wild ride y'all. Still I firmly believe it was a fantastic choice. You don't know the end results when you begin a project (including tje hiccups) but thays perfectly fine. I don't mind a challenge. I have started in one place (VSG) changed to another (RNY) which i never imagined as a possibility or necessity for me because i never had reflux prior but i remain excited and hopeful about the future and about all of life. My weightloss is old news to most people. Its no longer jarring, shocking, surprising, exciting or headlining so I get to settle into real life and stay the course permanently. Am I afraid of regain? Yes and No. I am afraid of going above a certain weight 160-170s (Beyonce pre Coachella weight ?) but everything under that is gravy ? I will not eat myself into a higher range. I also will not exercise my self artificially lower. I spoke with my nutritionist about a year ago about this ans its not for me. If it happens it will be medically induced, and Ya girl will be honestband open about everything going on. Do I have perfect food habits? Yes and No. My habits are perfect for me. Balanced. I can eat a salad and dessert. And feel no guilt. Dial up or down my intake according to need. (*I do no/never have food addiction* so in this way I believe I got off easy. If I had to contend with that I'm not sure where I would currently be, but hindsight wise choosen full DS, IMHO anything else is not a good choice) Do I love my post WLS body more? Yes and No. I loved my body from the start. Never hated it ever. But when I was heavier I began to become randomly sicker i a matter of weeks. I had to have surgery. No choice really. But now I feel the same way I NEED plastics. No way around it. I don't look horribly melty but I'm heading in that direction if i lose anymore weight. Have I gained any new insight now vs earlier... You've guessed it! Yes and No. I'm still the same old GTL albeit updated model ? but I have learned to meet people where they are and work with them there amd move on when the path diverges. No more people projects. I have a few real projects I'm still not done with so i need to focus on important stuff ? I'm a little more chill in certain ways But a little more aggressive in others (i STILL call people out on their BS) Pics soon I'm on the move...

I hope y'all (re)newly sexy people keep us updated on how it all goes ?

Speak your truth But you are here now No way but forward

I hope so! I hope people find they can open there

I'm always on the fence about endorsing a sedentary lifestyle, it's rubbish to your health So many people have said it so very well so I'll just leave encouraging words here

Probably eating too quickly plus the foods are not sitting well. Slow down a bit and stop completely once burping vomiting occurs Check with your team if they want you to have pasta/brown rice now. Good Luck ?

Yay

Thats my normal stomach profile after i drink 4oz of water

11/4-7: 4: Its hard to figure out the memory I'm most grateful for. I feel a rush of love and nostalgia thinking about everything (except Exes they can walk the plank ?) but i guess comparing my childhood memories to when my children were very young gets me utterly misty eyed 5: Im not going to lie, Washer and Dryer. I can't really operate without them. I no laundry literally nonstop not because i have so much but because I think I'm a touch germaphobe ? 6. Very warm days with peaceful sun rises win hands down. Colorful changing seasons are a second runner up, rainstorms at bedtime. ? 7. Tip top of my list: Torah. I'm a Hebrew ?, beyond that Sci-fi, thrillers, fantasy, etc.

No I was originally sleeved but converted to RNY But if you have the sleeve (with no complications) it was originally created to be 1/2 of the DS (and I guess now SIPS) process. RNY Is the progression to control reflux (what I had) If I had weight regain (but no reflux) with my sleeve I would have seriously considered DS/SIPS Speak with your surgeon and they will conduct testing which will ultimately make the final recommendations. Good Luck ?

DS/SIPS not an option?

Call Surgeon/ Go to ER

Hi! I would consider looking into the full DS/SIPS but not RNY unless you have GERD. Discuss with an experienced surgeon ?

You would just create one new thread, name it whatever you want and update all your personal happenings there! This would of course be different from questions posed to the entire community Or you could make a new post for every new thing as well. Totally up to you! Congratulations ?

I have let it go for the most part i understand people are superficial. NBD However I'm just super tired of being pursued by the same people who would have before. Like I'm magically going to give them a chance because they want me! Who said I wanted them ? But I dont want to hijack the thread I want to hear about bringing Sexy Back

Following ? Cant wait to see responses But sadly for me it's false. I promise it was not my purpose. So much so that I am still physically disgusted by positive change in attention pre vs. post from others. I on the other hand thought myself to look fine either way ?

Joking Joking Joking new day fresh start ?

I wasnt going to ask but here we go How/how quickly did you make it past the pysch clearances?

Seeing someone is a great start Good Luck ?
