5 year surgeversary
So...today marks 5 years since I had my surgery. I get amazing for a while, but I have gained back 40 lbs of my 88 lb loss. I had slipped into some of my bad habits especially during COVID and having the stress of my daughter’s medical issues and having to live in my in-laws basement while she was in treatment while also…

High Copper Levels
Hi All, I started going back to a Bariatric doc to help me with my regain and at the last round of bloodwork my copper levels were very high. I was taking Unjury Bariatric multi without iron (I take prescription iron and vit c) and the copper was at 300% DV. I haven’t been able to find any Bariatric multi that is less than…

Bariatric Eating Protein Shake Question - Flavors
Hey there - I haven’t loved most of the Bariatric Eating Shake flavors because they aren’t strong. My favorite so far is the Cafe Bella and even the Mexican Chocolate after getting used to the Mexican Chocolate texture. Been curious if anyone tried the new Caffe Amore and the Cannoli flavors and if so, what did you think…

Ok...Inspire Diet
So, I bought the 14 day Inspire Diet and plan to start tomorrow. I keep my surgery secret from some so today I modified my Facebook Profile so I could keep it to myself (though a family member who has a if mouth is part of the closed group so I wound up dropping out because I don’t want her finding out I had surgery and…

My first Peloton ride
Ok so had my Peloton delivered yesterday. My husband who NEVER works out got a ride in within an hour of delivery - he had no real intention of using it but he broke a sweat doing a 10 min scenic ride. Yesterday and today I woke up with a migraine but was so looking forward to my ride. Took a ride live which finished just…
-
Peloton?
Hey there - curious if anyone has a Peloton and if so what do you think of it? I pay WAY too much a month for a family gym membership and if I took my husband and daughter off of it i still will pay more than if I were to get a Peloton bike. I spin and have for about 15 years or so. The only classes I do at the gym are…

Running?
I made it back to the gym today and this is a brand new gym that just opened. Since I am recovering from pneumonia and my hip bursitis is flared I decided to just go on the treadmill. These machines are new to me so I selected a program and it had me doing intervals of walking and RUNNING. I couldn’t figure out how to…

2 year surgeversary
So today is my 2 year surgeversary. It is amazing how far I have come, but if anyone is pursuing surgery or has had it, one thing that we all need to remember is that it’s a tool, not a guarantee. About a year ago I hit my max loss of 88 lbs but with some illnesses, vacations and stress I would be lying if I didn’t admit…

Post Op - does your stomach gurgle?
Weird question but has anyone noticed that their stomach makes gurgling noises all the time post op? Mine does and it's almost embarrassing...talking to people and then your stomach makes noises...

Cool Sculpting?
Curious if anyone has had it looked into Cool sculpting? I set myself up for a consultation since it would be a stretch for me to pay out of pocket for a tummy tuck and my insurance won't cover it. Has anyone done Cool Sculpting or know of anyone who has had it?

So the past few weeks have been crazy -- spent almost 2 weeks back in NY/northeast on "vacation", came back to a crazy week at work and hadn't been able to meal plan, went away that next weekend, another week of no meal planning, back to school and back to the grind. I can't begin to tell you how it sucked beig out of my…

Migraines and Vertigo post op
Hi, I am about 15 mos post op. Suffered from migraines for years, and had a bout of vertigo only 3x prior to surgery. The past 2 months I have had vertigo kicking up quite a bit -- the last incident was a few weeks ago but it wasn't the benign kind where the crystals in my in er ear got out of place. The ENY had nothing to…

Have any of you decided to reward yourself for hitting…

Issues affecting the scale
Hi All! Apologies in advance as this is a very long post! Wondering what issues you have faced when dealing with our dreaded/beloved scales? The past month or so has been rough. My gym removed my classes from the schedule and I have seen my trainer at a different place and done some spin and mixed spin classes but due to…

What a week...
So had to work from home Monday because my older dog wasn't doing too well. Got a 3:30 appt on Monday but had to bring my daughter. She had a kidney infection so they wanted to keep her overnight to give her meds and fluids. Got to work yesterday and got a call around 8:30 that my dog passed - hit me like a ton of bricks.…

Gastric Bypass - 1 year later
For everyone - no matter where in this journey you are, I just had to share... Tomorrow marks my 1 year surgeversary date. It has been an emotional roller coaster to say the least. I contemplated not going through with surgery because of nerves and I had lost 37 pounds working with my nutritionist. I met people through my…

Air Fryer vs baking
Good Morning! Curious to know if anyone has used an air fryer and what you thought of it vs baking? Did your food come out crispier? Reason I ask is because Bariatric Eating posted an air fried chicken nugget that can also be baked and we don't fry at home but if an air fryer gets stuff more crispy I may invest in one.…

Anyone ever do Bodypump?
My gym canceled my Thursday spin class so now I just have my trainer but that's once a week at a different facility. I do spin in the most amazing spin bikes (they move), but the unlimited monthly pass is expensive-- and that plus what I pay a month to train with my trainer 1x/week leads to over $300/mo. Currently I am at…

Ever eat something then regret it?
Thought I would check in to see if anyone has eaten something post op and then regretted it? After the WLS post op diet is done and you transition back to all foods, have you eaten something you regretted? Maybe tested your limits? Last night, my husband wanted Baskin Robbins Gold Medal Ribbon. I had a half a scoop and…

Dinner, food aversion and other randomness
Hi there! Has anyone experienced a food rut especially at dinner? For the last two months or so I come home from work and don't really eat dinner - I am Ashamed to admit that some days I literally grab a few wheat thins and that is my meal. Just not up for a meal. Also not sure if this is because I have had a ton of stress…

Melatonin?
I have not been sleeping well and most likely due to the tremendous amount of stress I am under. Have been up since 12:30 am, and been up for the day at 3:05 after tossing and turning. Leaving at 4:30 to meet my trainer and head to work. I have a feeling me and Starbucks will be BFFs today. Considering taking melatonin…
