I’m 13 months past RnY. Sugar doesn’t give me the dumps, but I get the sweats and the mouth slimeys and I feel terrible. I have found that chewable vitamins (calcium chews, multi, vitamin C) and sugar free popsicles help with the sweet tooth. I can have a bite or two of baked sweets, but I usually pay for it after and tend to avoid it now. Carbs only get me in a bunch when I drink too much liquid after. It is a good thing for me. You’ll have to see how your body adjusts to the surgery. Everyone is different and you may lose your sweet tooth or be just fine. Good luck!

You look fantastic. Ultra adorbs. My nutritionist said that biotin in high concentration is supposed to help with hair and nails, but that works for you. Rock it!

I would talk to your Dr. He or she will know how to advise you on how to take meds. They took me off my pain killers for a while but all is well now. Your ability to absorb meds will change after this surgery, so you need everything to be chewable, Might be different for you but chocolate milk makes me HURL like the Exorcist child. Maybe a protein smoothie? I’m surprised that they’re giving you a bypass surgery at only 150lbs?!! My understanding was that you have to be obese for RnY surgery... It may not be worth it to have the surgery to lose only 20 or 30lbs if the meds are this important to your daily quality of life. Maybe I misread tho...
