Paleo easy homemade pancakes
I also am not paleo but I like the banana pancakes. Are bananas considered paleo? 2 ripe bananas, 1 egg, coconut oil for cooking. Blend egg and bananas until smooth, then cook like traditional pancakes.

MyFitnessPal vs. Baritastic
I prefer Baritastic to MFP. I don’t enjoy tracking. I can do it if I need to but I it’s work to me. I used MFP for a long time until I was notified that my personal data breached was twice because of the parent company (UnderArmour) was breached. That’s when I stopped using it. When I needed to track food again I tried Baritastic and found it much easier to use especially the label scan feature (MFP might have this also) I also find the frontend of the Baritastic app more visually appealing.

Hunger feelings have begun
Often I find thirst can mimic hunger after WLS. Try hydrating first (with something plan appropriate and you actually like) to see if that helps. Good Luck and congratulations on a safe surgery ❤️

Food Before and After Photos
The ballon topper i bought at a party store, but you have to assemble it yourself. It really wasn’t that much frosting (60% of a jar used) but it was the whipped type that looks fluffier.

Hospital Bag
My must have is baby wipes (or any type of wipe) because a ton of people will be touching you but you can’t immediately. Congratulations and Good Luck!

Food Before and After Photos
I felt (for me anyway) the VSG restriction tightness occurred long before I felt satisfied with whatever I was eating but the discomfort feeling was more intense than hunger so I stopped eating. Sometimes I wanted more to eat but physically could not. Fullness from RNY (for me) feels like traditional fullness where you don’t want to eat anymore. I feel truly done and don’t want anymore food. But sometimes I get both restriction and fullness when I’m eating drier things especially protein (the restriction hits first)

Scared over Ultrasound results
Don’t panic, the notes suggest further evaluation before anyone can say if anything is actually found or if it’s nothing to worry about

Yay or Nay: Weight loss before surgery for better success
I didn’t lose any significant weight prior to surgery and was a BMI of 44 . Currently I’m a BMI of 27 (I tend to fluctuate between 26-28)
