Weirdest None-Scale-Victory - I'll go first
Hand washing a car without getting winded or tired! Also there was a ton of honking and catcalls but I’m not sure if it was for me or for the car itself ?

No hunger vs hunger...When did this change for you?
For me it returned between 6-8 months post op. But I’m never as hungry as I was pre-op so that’s the real miracle.

Absolutely no judgement here ❤️ I cut it myself and the technique is called chiffonade. It’s super easy :

Sleeve VS bypass
IMHO, If you have reflux issues already, please let your surgeon know this (and try to explain the severity to which you experience it) Based on the information they give you and their recommendations make the best choice for you. Good Luck ❤️

? I made a bean & cheese burrito with low carb tortilla yesterday and only ate half. Made french fries and ate 6. BUT If it was tortilla or potato chips, I would have eaten 976425670753 ?

What is the first thing you eat or drink everyday?
Black tea with half and half, Chai or green tea latte. Then water or other sugar free drink. Sometime herbal coffee alternative since I had to give up coffee 2 yrs ago.

At almost 4 yrs post op, I’m not sure if the Air fryer will change anything for me except less work cooking. ?? For example, I tested my wing eating capacity a few times and I can only eat 3-4 (half pieces not whole traditional chicken wings) and I am surprised because that still seems like an awfully small amount to me.

Eating out after surgery
I received one but never had to use it and I recently threw it away. Most places would let me order just side items instead of appetizers or entrees without a problem. I have ordered off the children’s menu at Chipotle where it made sense because of portion size vs food type.
