YES! Man, GERD is the worse thing I have ever dealt with. 2 prescriptions and OTC antacids still had regular issues! Sometimes it was so bad my voice would be hoarse for days. I am soooo relieved that Bypass has since cured mine. Of all meds and no signs of it. WHEW

I am not a huge coffee drinker and only like it cold. I am more of a "coffee drink" type of person.
Yanno, those super sweet decadent high calorie, tons of sugary coffee FLAVORED drinks (basically desserts)?
So now after surgery, I just add coffee to caramel shakes to get that "coffee drink" fix.
Tons of people use sugar free creamers, and sugar free flavors though. I haven't found a flavor syrup that doesn't taste like pure chemicals so I stopped wasting my money and just do the shakes.

There is a fine line between supportive and mean... gotta tread lightly.

I am glad it was resolved and you are feeling better.
I have heard of this happening, scary.

WHOOOO! I needed a "formal" dress for a Charity event. I walked in, saw a dress I liked, grabbed a size. Tried it on an BAM! DONE!!!! Never in a million years would this happen. Normally it would be 45 stores, 2 weeks of looking and basically finding something I hate but fits..
WHOOOOO HOOO
Also- I HIT MY FIRST "ORIGINAL" GOAL THIS WEEK!
This was what my surgeon and myself agreed on from my initial appointment and I am perfectly fine here.. but my "updated" goal is just there to be able to say I lost half of my original body weight!

Y'all I DID IT!!! 1 YEAR AND 8 MONTHS POST OP AND I HIT MY GOAL!! ?
Now, I know my little "signature" doesn't reflect that, but my REAL goal which my surgeon and myself agreed on was 225 lbs and I AM THERE!! I am also very satisfied here, especially if the skin was gone. My "new/documented" goal is 210 lbs just so I can officially say I lost OVER 50% of my starting body weight! I am so excited!!

NOW TIME FOR SKY DIVING!!!! As my personal reward, as soon as it gets warmer I JUMP!!!!

SOOOO much has changed, I don't even know where to start!
DO IT, DON'T WAIT- DO IT NOW! ZERO REGRETS!
