Very cute! Love the colors!

And, BTW, who the h3ll was stupid enough to put my jeans in the $@#% dryer?

Off to another doctor's appointment. I know the clothes are baggy, but I'm supposed to wear loose clothes today ? It's such a treat to HAVE loose clothes to choose from! Ok, really only the bottom needs to be loose, so I changed

MIC DROP!!!

Anytime it doesn't feel normal you should call the doc. Hope you feel better soon.

I had little edges of the glue lifting before I wanted the glue to peel away so I used nail clippers to trim those off because they kept catching on my clothes and tugging on the rest of the glue.

Don't panic. You can get back on track. You were pretty vague. How did you fall off the wagon? Was it too much food, the wrong foods, alcohol? If you provide more detail, we can be more helpful.

My surgeon said that an RnY on a "virgin" stomach is more restrictive than on a revision. However, adding the malabsorption is what would improve weight loss. This was why I chose the sleeve initially. I really didn't want to deal with malabsorption issues, but you gotta take it as it comes. Still no nsaids, though. Good luck with your surgeon appointment. Let us know how it goes.

@Danny Paul Congratulations! I always enjoy your insightful posts and have benefited from the things you've shared!

I was sleeved in Feb. 2018, revised to RnY Oct. 2018 for reflux. I was taking the max dose of prescription omeprazole twice a day plus Tums, as needed. Still woke up sometimes with acid in my nose. I had not had reflux prior to the sleeve surgery. The RnY did completely resolve the GERD issue, but I miss the restriction I had with my sleeve. It was really tight, which I considered a good thing. I do have restriction with the RnY, but nowhere near as much. Regardless, I am happy I had the revision before I destroyed my esophagus and teeth.

Looking great! Plus you already got to hit Onederland in kg!

Congratulations! You're rockin' your new bod!

Omgosh, from that angle, the white stripes on your pants make your legs look about 3" wide! ?

Congrats! They look great on you!

They look wonderful! Have a safe trip!

I don't have help for the current situation, but for most people, the stomach noise dies down after a while. Mine hardly ever growls now.

Congratulations! The time will fly by!

Congrats on your surgery and smooth recovery! That shake sounds delish!

I'm glad you're so practical and not panicky about this. You're correct, the weight was just IV fluids and swelling. Best wishes for a speedy recovery and to see the scale moving more quickly soon!

I was planning to order several types of vitamins from the BP store. I was thinking of getting them set up on auto-renewal. When I buy them today, I know they will be bundled together and I'll only have one shipping charge. For those of you who have used the auto-renew service before, will the items be bundled together next time, or will I end up with 4 separate shipments each charging $6.99 shipping? What if I order both vitamins and other food products? Will those get bundled in the future? I tried chatting with a customer service person but I'm not sure they understood the question. TIA!

Congratulations! Feels AAAAAAAAAAMAZING, doesn't it?
