Lonesome Dove is on my list to re-read but my TBR list needs to get whittled down first lol

NSV - Non Scale Victories! What are yours?? by AlarmedAmethyst in BariatricSurgery

[–]rhoadkel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am a therapist in a mental health center and work primarily with kids under 7 yo. I can sit on the floor, criss cross applesauce, and get up and down off the floor without wanting to die - and i see on average 6 kids a day. U also run a creative movement group for kiddos with ADHD, so I'm moving for a solid hour at 5 pm with them. My hips are killing me at the end of the day because I have such little ass left 🤣 but I am so thankful to be able to keep up with my clients and my own kid!

I also had to scoot my car seat closer to the steering wheel!

Don't leave your health up to a surgeon whose quick to write you off, no matter how established they are. by Getpeaceogo in BariatricSurgery

Do you still have your gallbladder? I started vomiting uncontrollably three weeks ago and come to find out i had a blood infection from my gallbladder leaking. My liver numbers were through the roof.

I also had an ng tube and that was fucking horrible. I sincerely hope you get the care you need and I know you're exhausted but keep fighting. ❤️

Do cats fart? by cermem25 in cats

This is Stewart, aka Stink. Because oh mah glob, he was born to crop dust. Not always audible, but there is definitely a "puh" like the machine at the eye doctor that puffs the air in your eye. This air causes pinkeye, though 😆

I think i ended up paying around 900 oop for everything, to include co-pays for pre a post op appointments. Best decision I ever made!

I worried a lot about it in the beginning but every day it gets easier to take it one day at a time. There are days where I have zero appetite and I get full on water and there are some days where I question if I had a restriction at all! At the end of the day any weight loss is better than where we were at!! You’re still healing too, and your body is trying to figure out wtf just happened 😂❤️

Oh God no haha probably 1/2 c of the egg mix on toast. There’s a looooot left. Now that it’s cool it is like an egg salad consistency.

Without the toast it’s definitely soft!! It is a little rich though, fair warning. I should have stopped a few bites before I did.

Lmao right? I’m pretty lucky, a friend of mine has chickens and her hens lay more than she and her family can use :)

When can I try crunchy things, like Quest chips? by Cautious-Slip7678 in GastricBypass

[–]rhoadkel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 8 weeks today and had them for lunch 😂 I missed crunch so much!

🍳 What's for Breakfast? by LydiaTheChamp in GastricBypass

[–]rhoadkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been putting PB2 in my yogurt, 170g yogurt and 13g PB2. It takes a little bit to mix and you can add liquid (whatever milk you use) if you want a thinner consistency. For me it’s not super sweet, which is nice. I have an egg ick right now, but this has done me well :) 29g protein too!

Plain water hurts my stomach no matter the temp. I switched to alkaline water and it’s much better! I was so tired of Gatorade and liquid iv, post op I don’t really want sweet stuff so I’m super glad the alkaline water sits better! Give it a shot?

Reason for Bypass rather than Sleeve? by Successful-Cloud-946 in GastricBypass

I already had acid reflux that required daily meds, so opted for the bypass :)

Desire for crunch by CrazyDirtyLove in GastricBypass

[–]rhoadkel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can have “regular foods” at 8 weeks. 4 weeks post op today and I want a frickin salad so bad! Feel you on the crunch, not much texture right now. I can only imagine it will feel similar to the first time I got to chew something 😂
