I forgot how much fun it is to make a smoothie! This is not for me but I tried it and it is very good. My daughter is a vegan (again ?) so we are testing recipes. Now we only have to find a decent unflavored pea protein that a teenager would like. Any suggestions? This is a skinny banana blueberry. This is easily two servings, it filled a 24 oz jar.

Alittle Confused
It was around 4 months from initial consultation to surgery for me. Insurance only required proof from PCP that I attempted weightloss prior not a designated period. The surgeon required a minimum of 2 pre surgery educational courses at their practice. The preop specialist clearances I needed were cardiology, pulmonology/sleep study, psychological assessment, gastroenterology/endoscopy and labs.

Pastas, bread, pizza, steaks, sweet stuff
I went to Italy 4 months post op too, twins! I had a lot of coffee, salads, nuts, cheese, yogurt, fruit with some pizza, gelato and pastries thrown in (surgeon said I could although I assumed I couldn’t) because… it was Italy. Pharmacies did have ready made and powder protein for shakes. I shopped at local markets a few times and made a meal of my own at a cooking class. I was limited by capacity so that was nice. I did try to be balanced but still have fun. Surprisingly food was not the fun I ultimately had. Good Luck and have fun ❤️

Venturing back into egg territory! I give eggs up often because I don’t think I actually like them but they are considered a breakfast staple. Fluffy scrambled eggs, vegan sausage and French bread (not my plate as usual) What is everyone’s favorite egg style?

Absolutely gorgeous! I love the dress, it is so classic and detailed perfectly and the color is just right. I also love the color mirroring in the landscape and your dress landscape. Your daughter looks just like you right down to the cupid’s bow ?

What was your first desert after sleeve?
Pumpkin pie filling. I had surgery in November so a family member was testing out vegan pumpkin pie recipes from scratch. The ingredients was bare bones and had no sugar. It was basically freshly made pumpkin purée but felt like a real indulgence.
