It is no surprise that, post-bariatric surgery, the importance of our nutrition needs are unique. With a significantly reduced food intake compared to non-surgical weight loss patients, our focus should be on strategic eating. This approach is crucial for supporting weight loss and overall health while also fostering new healthy habits. For those of us ...
^^yep, that's the reason^^ Good Morning all! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. Grim came home and brought me the most beautiful chair I have ever seen. He is so talented. It's great to have him home 🙂 But no rest for the weary, because today begins the house…

Good morning ~ Yesterday, oh boy. I had a lovely day, I took care of business and my facial was amazing but I hit the wine and snacks hard last night. I have since cleared the house of those treats and am ready to start a new day on track.…
Amy LizGood Morning and Happy Friday! I have all kinds of exciting news. First, dad is home! I have no idea how he managed to go straight from ICU to home, but he did. The nurses were probably like - GET HIM OUT, lol. My other exiting news is that after…
Queen JBGood Morning and Happy Friday! I am beyond happy that we are here. It was a long week at work and home. I miss Grim! He'll be home late tomorrow night and I am so happy to have him back. He's going to have to fight the cats to get…
Queen JBMorning! OMG yesterday was another wild day. Another one when the morning was relatively quiet but the afternoon blew up. I never even got a chance to come back and read. I woke up to some very insistent cats. I give them their wet food twice a day but they…
Queen JBGood Morning! Let's do this, Wednesday! I got nothing today. Yesterday was the relatively boring work day I wanted/needed, which was a great change of pace from Monday's madness. In fact, it was so quiet that I was able to make a million phone calls to set up all the…
Queen JB^^Oh man this was me yesterday. I can't believe today is only Tuesday. Yesterday was like a week's worth of drama in under a day. It actually started out like a normal day, but from 12pm - 6pm my phone was ringing off the hook with all kinds of weird…
Queen JBGood Monday Morning, Gang! How's everyone doing? I would love another day off because I was busy teaching a cookie class yesterday but I slept pretty well and I should be able to manage a day packed with meetings ahead. Other than teaching yesterday it was a pretty boring weekend.…

Mornin everyone! Not much planned today. A trip to the grocery store is all. I did something to aggravate my neck. I’ve not slept much and I’m really uncomfortable. It seems like it’s always something Busy week ahead for me, QOTD: kind of related to the meme. What takes up…
Melody P.good mornin y’all! Not just a whole lot happening today. Yesterday was a lot. It’s left me in a lot of pain and exhausted. We have a few things to do but not a lot. Riley stayed the night. She is into anime which I totally am not lol. We…

Surgery was 9/11/24. I was very nervous just prior to going into the operating room, obviously, but Baranov’s team was very thorough and made me feel at ease. They reassured me, kept me informed and answered all of my questions. I am very happy with my experience. I look forward…

Well, almost 3 years again since I last posted - time flies, life goes on, we hit our obstacles and find paths around them! I'm now 4 years past my HPV P16+ Squamous Cell Carcinoma Throat Cancer diagnosis and treatment and still in remission! Oddly enough, one of the biggest…

I have malabsorption syndrome and need to find a specialist to help me treat it.

Wow. It is hard to believe that TWENTY YEARS have passed since that life-changing day. I'm not the poster child for surgery by no means. I'm about 30 pounds over my "comfortable" weight. I'm also about 40 pounds over my lowest. That's a hard pill to swallow, sometimes, honestly. You…

Wow the time has flown by. I have to admit I gained weight back due to my own not worrying about myself and taking care of my mother. I became very sedentary and packed on 40 lbs over 7 years. But I'm ok and losing again. Starting college in 20 days…

Seems like I've been drinking water all day. 64 ozs so far and I'm gonna struggle to get my protein in later on. I have gotten about 25 grams so far today. Guess I'm destined for protein powder.

Hey y'all, I'm back! Needless to say I've slacked on my weight and went back to my old habits. I'm finally getting started on getting back to where I was a few years ago. It's been a rough 5 years and I put on more pounds than I want. Hope…

When I arrived to the hospital I weighed almost 800 pounds (797 pounds). But in a week I managed to lose 55 pounds and the hospital has agreed to get me down to a more manageable weight (hopefully under 500, haven't been under 500 since I was 11). Wish me…

I know this is a journey. And I know I am not perfect. This is HARD. I hate that my food cravings have come back. I am down almost 80 pounds in 6 months. I just want to be down so much more. But I also know that I am…

Dr. Ferzli is very precise and effective in his practice. He has always been willing to answer my questions. He is very informative and efficient and a surgeon who is available. For any future patients, this program works wonders if you do your part. Karen, Nicole, and Cameela were very…
Dr. A completed my surgery March 2024 and it was a wonderful experience. I read and watched a lot of videos before my procedure and had actually booked an appointment with a clinic in the US. But after I found Dr. A, I knew I wanted him to do my…
Dr Choi is excellent at explaining and helped me with an issue with a previous surgeon. Prevented me from seeking another surgery. I am fine.
Dr. Alvarez is an amazing surgeon who provides exceptional care. I had the best experience and am doing fantastic with zero issues 3 months after surgery. Dr. Alvarez and staff provide great information so you know exactly what to except. My only regret is not having surgery sooner!
I had gastric bypass with Dr. Baranov in 2019. At that time I was 280 pounds and dealing with a myriad of health issues. After surgery I got down as low as 170 pounds, but didn’t feel well, so on the advice of my primary, I slowly gained to 195-200…
