I’m in Texas and have found Fairlife at all of my regular stores; Kroger, HEB, Walmart, Target...

I am 3 months out from the GSV procedure and will be having a hysterectomy at the end of this month. Does anyone know if I should expect any recovery issues? The procedure will be done robotically and I am keeping my ovaries. Is this something my Bariatric surgeon should know about?

I’m 10.5 weeks post op VSG. I have been extremely lucky to have not had any issues with anything I’ve eaten. My surgeon and NUT have never really set caloric or protein goals after the 4th week when I was released to eat whatever I could handle. As of today I’ve gone from 240 day of surgery to 199. About three weeks ago I started focusing on a whole food, plant based, no oil Way of eating. I’m not counting calories or protein and eat about 1/2 c every 3 hours. I start my day off with a sizable green smoothie and eat nummy nummy guilt free yummy the rest of the day. I eat beans, grains, and nuts and my body really, really enjoys it. I have cut out dairy with surprising ease. (I still have a mental love affair with cheese. It’s almost as bad as when I had to give up Dr. Pepper.) I signed up for a weekly meal plan from the Clean Food Dirty Girl website. They have made this transition so easy and unbelievable delicious. My NUT is totally supportive of my decision to go WFPB and I hope my labs in a couple of weeks will make my surgeon happy. In the end though I feel so good knowing that every half cup I eat is packed full of nutrients and no artificial sugars or processed crap. My body feels good, my mind is less fuzzy, and I’m actually beginning to understand what “I have energy” means. [emoji4] Sorry if I sound overly excited about this, I’m just really excited, happy and proud of myself for taking charge of my health.

Lunch today and a preview of my lunch I prepped for the week. Chickpeas and corn cooked in a small amount of BBQ sauce, chunky cucumber, cherry tomatoes and purple onions. This bowl has a small amount of brown rice but my lunches will have fresh spinach instead. I stumbled across a great website totally dedicated to Whole Food Plant Based eating. https://cleanfooddirtygirl.com/

I am on ally Prilosec. I think it was a cold or sinuses. Thankfully I feel much better today Just a bit of a scratchy throat.

Ugh! Going on day three of feeling miserable ?. First it was a sore throat and nausea and now it feels like my saliva is acid. Every time I swallow it feels like acid going down but no feeling of it coming back up. This sucks.

My kids suggested the marijuana too, but Texas is not a medical marijuana friendly state. I'm leaning on the peppermint tea right now. Thank you all for your suggestions.

What natural remedies do you all use for nausea? I don't feel like I'm going to actually throw up, just feel off. Pre-surgery I would sip on ginger ale and nibble on crackers, but those are no longer options.

Those meals look amazing! Definitely going to have to give some a try. Seeing the kale salad reminded me of how much I love homemade kale chips. Guess I need to make some now. [emoji6]

I wouldn't worry too much with a 2 week stall, but... When I asked my NUT this question she suggested the first thing I should check is water and protein intake and then take a look at the quality of food. Are you eating food that is minimally processed? Are you getting the most nutrition for your calories?
