For anyone curious about delayed full sensation: my sensation just kicked in 15 mins after I finished eating.

Cleaning up diet Pre Surgery
I removed additional sugar. Naturally sweet things like fruit I ate occasional but I gave up any sugar that I had to add my myself and switched over to a substitute (stevia). It was tough at first but it helped to practice it for a longer period instead of fighting against it because it was too sudden.

Great response

One month tomorrow and haven’t lost a pound in three weeks
FYI: At only a month post op, not many of us are allowed to eat sandwiches (according to post op diet plans) You are still early out so there’s a chance your restrictions with kick in eventually, or rather you’ll recognize what it feels like sooner Don’t give up!

Passed My Psych Evaluation
Insurance company timelines are all over the place when it comes to approvals. I think the normal length seems to be 2-4 weeks after submitting. After about 2 week I probably would call insurance directly to check but that’s because I’m impatient ?

I had to look this up! Air fryers cook with circular heated air, toaster ovens use more direct heat https://inductionpros.com/differences-between-an-air-fryer-and-a-toaster-oven/

Catfishing is still a huge problem ?

Lady parts/large mons
You will probably lose volume in that area (and all over) after WLS. That does unfortunately seem to always translate to some degree of loose skin. However a mons lift/reduction during plastics can fix it so don’t worry about it too much.

Dating post WLS and PS
Proceed with caution on Dating sites. I think that people will test many boundaries/limits because there are very few real world repercussions for dishonesty. Also, looks seem to matter the most on apps that are basically 5 second interviews. That being said I met my BF on a dating site (post WLS & pre plastics) Good luck! ❤️

I light candles when cooking fish. No odors after. I also like crispy fish skin if I scale it properly and on whole fish (head and all)

Pizza at 7 or 8 weeks?
Cheese and toppings like the others said and If you have not had any bread products yet, don’t try it for the first time outside of your home (But go with your nutritionists recommendations)
