They are bad for the environment 😂

I don’t think there is a non invasive option other than using filters when taking selfies! The only thing that will really work is some form of face lift.
But I would be incredibly happy if someone can prove me wrong.

Have you changed your name?

Go back to basics.
Protein first, don’t drink with meals, cut out carbs especially the “ junky” carbs, plan your meals, don’t graze, serve your portion on a small plate etc.
All the things that were second nature immediately after surgery that tend to slide the further out we get.
Your BMI is in the obese range, you need to take this in hand before it gets worse.
You can do it.

Generally looser bowel motions are quite a normal consequence of gastric bypass. It is all to do with the different absorption post op. The first thing you should look at is what you are eating. Too much fat/sugar are going to cause problems.Lactose also causes issues for a lot of people postop
If you have checked your diet and there is no obvious cause then you should speak to your Dr. There are drugs they can give you that slow down the rate of gastric emptying.
You should also consider how bad the problem is. If you are passing loose motions all day long then yes you probably need help. However if it is just that they are unformed and more than previously but at a certain time of day you may be able to adjust your lifestyle to accomodate it. I have accepted that looser bowel motions are part of my new normal. They tend to be mainly in the early morning which means that it is best to be at home at this time. I don’t really have issues the rest of the time.

I am 5 months post RNY and I get dumping. Can’t remember the first time I had it.
Sometimes it’s because I’ve eaten something that’s not so healthy, sometimes it’s with a healthy food that I have been eating regularly. They are not always carbs, sometimes food such as yogurt triggers it.
My dumping generally manifests as shakiness, palpitations and generally feeling weird. I do not get the runs which is what most people seem to think dumping is.

It's not the scars you will be trying to hide when you wear a bikini, it is more likely to be the loose skin.

That’s that’s not good. How far postop are you? Can you think of anything that may have triggered this e.g food getting stuck? What colour is the blood, bright red is usually from the upper digestive system, pink and frothy from the lungs, dark and looks like coffee grounds from the stomach.
Hopefully it’s something minor and they are able to fix it quickly

VGS David answered the question you asked. Dont think he was trying to be judgemental. If you ask professionals (also a nurse here) you will get a similar answer. Follow docs advise, consult your doc, etc. Now, you want to know other experiences? Maybe you will hurt yourself. Maybe you wont. You have to decide if it is worth the risk. Me? I listen to my docs and my body. My doc said not to lift over 10 pounds. Your doc was generous in saying 30 pounds. An adult human being weighs much more. Yes, you might hurt yourself. Or you could get lucky and be fine. I personally wouldn't risk it.

There is an old saying, "If you have to ask if you should, you probably shouldn't."
It is far better to be cautious in this situation.

Have you had a dexa scan to determine your body fat levels? If may be that you do not have sufficient excess fat to lose. Do you have a lot of excess skin? It may be that the those few remaining pounds are excess skin as opposed to excess body fat.
Aside from a number on a scale what do those 5lb mean to you?

I just spent a week on the GC and was cold in the evening. Hubby kept telling me it wasnt cold but I don't believe him. Could be my meds are working or less body weight means less heat

See a doctor - I had chest issues and it turned out to be blockage - SEE A FREAKIN DOCTOR

Find something to replace it with. Eat a handful of nuts or some dried fruit. Make your own sugar free Jello snakes. Get strawberries and dip them in a tiny bit of chocolate.

smoothies and juices are just fast delivery systems for a heap of sugar. Drinking them is not healthy, they are no better than milkshakes. I would be to scared to try one as the pain and palpitations would be horrific
