Today is my 7 year surgiversary ?

I can’t believe it’s been that long but my lifestyle does have a lived in feel to it. My weight is stable-ish with a current BMI of ~25.

I have no problem finding safe things to eat while out but this year I cooked the major of my meals. That means I accidentally began meal prepping because of cooking foods only I seem to want to eat twice in a row. I’m ok with this as I actually like eating the same things, ad nauseum ?.

I drink hot tea every morning and most nights. I have fully returned to carbonated water, kombucha and pre/probiotic drinks.

Some highlights of this year includes sending my last child off to college, my first colonoscopy, started reading spicy books (thanks ACOTAR) and a few bucket list trips (The Space Coast to visit Kennedy Space center, Grand Canyon and the New Mexico hot air balloon festival).

I’m still very satisfied with the outcome of WLS and all of the new advancements in obesity medicine.
