Worry not, friend! Potatoes are slider foods and those mini quesadillas are fairly small.

Cheats happen, weakness happens. Just saddle up and get back on track.

So we all know this life/surgery is not always sunshine and rainbows and I figured I’d make a thread for people to voice whatever is bugging them (related to surgery) that day... no matter how trivial it may seem.

Sometimes it’s just therapeutic to vent.
Sometimes hearing someone say, “oh I’ve been there, too!” can be helpful.

My daily gripe?

TMI alert

Something made me throw up this morning. I think it was the Iron pill I’ve recently been told to take. But ya know what really grinds my gears about this? The taste of the iron pill after throwing up the first time made me KEEP throwing up. Awful, awful, awful!

Yes. Call your doc. That redness and yellow crustyness looks like an infected wound to me.

Nicotine use can increase the risk of ulcers post-surgery. Immediately after surgery, nicotine is vasoconstrictor and can delay or impact healing due to reducing the circulation and amount of oxygen that gets to wound sites via your blood.

Quitting smoking is the best thing I ever did for my health. It even ranks higher than my weight loss surgery.

I feel like saying “drugs are bad mmmkay!” is a bit stating the obvious. Obviously the OP knows that cocaine doesn’t equal kale (even if it tastes the same) in terms of being a healthy choice.

Let me tell you judgy judgers something... there is NO ONE using drugs (other than pot) that thinks they are making a healthy choice. It’s like smoking- or eating that pizza. People know they shouldn’t, but they do. I’m not condoning coke use, but I’m also wise enough to know someone doing a few lines of coke isn’t the same as someone shooting up heroin and I’m not going to label someone who does the former an addict. They probably, well definitely, shouldn’t have done coke, but I’m sure the OP knows that and wasn’t asking for us to tell them their choice was okay. They were asking if it could have caused the gastrointestinal distress they are experiencing.

I’ve been wishing that! Legs? Perfect. Butt? Gone. Biceps? Gone. Belly? Still here for the party!

My gripe today is not being able to go to the bathroom. I started taking a probiotic yesterday so i hope it kicks in soon. I am over this Constipation stuff.. It is driving me crazy!

Gripe time! Thought I was in maintenance but nope
now my athleisure (athlazy) wear is loose and I can't justify buying new ones that I'm not really going to use... And it's real hard to tailor netting on spandex
I wish the weightloss would come from targeted areas at this point

Fiberous, energy bombs! Trying to make my own healthy grab and go Breakfast or preworkout snack. They are oats, flax seeds, chia seeds, hemp hearts, toasted coconut, Peanut Butter, honey and vanilla.

Super easy and super tasty!

Yes. Especially when I was early stages post-op. It was tricky learning capacity.. and breaking the habit of being able to eat a bunch. Your insides are still pretty swollen and that’s what causes you to feel that tightness so quickly. If you feel that- it means you are full and should give your body time to digest.

It does go away after the first few months!

Also- making your own shakes with powder and liquid is cheaper than the RTD options. But even immediately post op- you may be drinking two shakes a day. So, your food at that point would cost about $5/day.

My biggest hurdle is not food cost, but food waste post op, because we really do not each much so buying just enough can be difficult. I am still working out how to buy just what I need.

I am so jealous of your raving. I used to attend them when I was younger, but now I feel too old and lame to do such things. But also I don’t think I’ll find anything quite like the parties of my early 20s.

And for that reason I sit in my cubicle bobbing my head to house music for 8 hours a day. 😂

I am also hanging in the 220s and have been for what feels like the last month! They tell me I’m on track to reach onederland, but... I’m not going to believe that until it happens!
