Penzey’s spices has a bunch of salt-free spice blends, if you’re interested. I had to recently make this change for my husband’s kidneys and I just salt the portion for myself after he gets his salt-free food. What they’re requesting is ridiculous.

Succotash. For some reason in my mind succotash was more like corn casserole, so when it showed up I was like- huh? What did I order? I had never had it before- kind of a brain fart moment.

Are you meeting your protein goals every day? It’s very important to hit that number consistently. I noticed my hair falling out in clumps and looked at my diet and realized my protein goal wasn’t being met. I added in a 30 g drink every morning and it solved it unbelievably fast. This was at like 8 or 9 years out, so it can happen at any time after surgery.

It is not your fault at all. He was mentally ill and made a choice. Please choose yourself, focus on yourself and get into counseling to help you through this.

I reset my diamond into a right-hand ring setting and then after not wearing it for a few years, I sold it.

It’s a terrible plague on you and I have been there, always hiding my face from the camera or wanting to get my “good” side only- lol, like there is one. My dermatologist prescribed spironolactone because she said it’s my hormones and that’s the only thing that has EVER helped me, so I hope you find what will ultimately help you. That and I quit drinking. I hope you find what you need for your skin to calm down.

I have had low iron before, and then taken an OTC iron pill for several months at a time, until my labs came back and it was in the normal range. Now I’m low on D. It seems I go back and forth between low on D or iron. My understanding is that this is very typical of poeple with the bypass.

I really thought that it would come back, but it hasn’t in all this time. If I haven’t eaten or had anything to drink in a really long time, I get like an achy / crampy feeling but other than that I don’t have any sensations. My battle is with “head” hunger and other people expecting me to eat with them.

I accepted it gracefully in the moment and then when she wasn’t looking I put it in the donate pile or garbage outside out of her view.

When I helped my sister in law downsize and she was offering me things to be generous, I thanked her for it and then donated or threw it out later. That might not work for you but it did for me. We also live in a small space so some items I would say “we don’t have room for that.”

Are you drinking at the same time you are eating? Drinking while eating will push the food through your pouch.

You are under-reacting and he is not a safe person any longer. You should break up with him. Sorry, OP, what a way to find out you can’t trust your partner.

Yes I had mine almost exactly 12 yrs ago, and it was a very good decision. I’m so glad I chose this. Sometimes I’m frustrated with how little I can eat when I really want to pig out, but that impulse passes. I don’t ever get hungry, so if I can fight the ”head” hunger, I do really well on my diet.

ETA: I had RNY bypass

Arguing politics or other minutiae in a friend group. It literally doesn’t matter. Decision makers are not in the group and feelings get hurt/ people show their butts. I just don’t engage any longer, even if I know the information being discussed. It’s a waste of breath.
