  1. Is it literally everything making you sick or just somethings? If you can’t keep anything down at all I would ask for a diagnostic test to make sure there are no ulcers, infections (H. Pylori), irritation (gastritis), stricture, etc. Good Luck ❤️
  2. As I suspected! If you really need a substitute you won’t mind any slight difference to regular flour. But it probably does not taste exactly the same.
  3. It gets easier over time as your swelling goes down, then it’ll be too loose in some areas. Don’t buy a new one instead have a tailor alter only the loose areas.
  4. Reconsidering Medical tourism? Can you change your insurance? Perhaps even reach out directly to surgeons especially at teachings hospitals and ask if they will perform your case Pro Bono? Good Luck
  5. It seems like when someone is a general hater, anything you do will be unnecessary. I had plastics at the beginning of the pandemic and someone pathetically attempted to shame me about it. Ignore them all and live your best life
  6. No, it just has a smoked flavor from smoked paprika being one of the major spices.
  7. Vegan smoked vegetable soup made with potatoes, carrots, kale, spinach, corn & green beans.
  8. I made cheddar biscuits or buns with the Carbquik flour. I used 80% carbquik & 20% regular flour because in still nervous about using alternative flours now ? No noticeable difference to me And these are regular cheddar biscuits. They look and feel the same, but I haven’t tried the regular ones so idk about the flavor
  9. I hope you are doing better! You are far from alone. I also have experienced this but never bothered to ask a doctor to look into it because it’s so infrequent and a normal quirk post surgery. Now I see it is not. I hope a resolution is found quickly. Please take care and let us know how things go ❤️
  10. I ended up making the French toast a few days ago. I used the Aldi zero carb bread and of course whipped cream because this was essentially dessert
  11. Wow! 7 days went by fast. How is sleeping in the recliner going?
  12. I understand. I don’t know how insurance companies expect people to patiently wait weeks upon weeks while they decide the next steps of our lives! I was so nervous, excited and impatient for surgery that 2 weeks after my info was submitted, I called my insurance companies everyday until I had an answer. I even went through the trouble of getting names and IDs of reps to speak to them again for continuity. I’m certain they were tired of me ? I hope your determination comes back quickly
  13. Isn’t it terrible that people only ask how much weight you’ve lost but never ask what you’ve gained in return
  14. I have Plastics greed, I want more ? And these threads are fueling this new obsession ?
  15. I remember the walks lasting about 5 mins or a lap around the patient rooms. If you’re still in the hospital don’t worry too much about trying to figure it all out on your own. Someone will give you more instructions when they know you’re lucid. Congratulations ❤️
  16. You seems to be doing all the right things. Perhaps don’t make any extreme changes until after your first appointment. They will usually give next steps and details at that point. Also If the guidance was casual the person giving it (unless it was the surgeon or nutritionist) may not have exact details on your specific needs or insurance requirements.
  17. I agree I think there are not may Bariatric surgeons creating content for the general public. I appreciate it a lot.
  18. Nobody: Me: And now I will make a video demo no one asked for ? IMG_0759.MOV
