Dessert

Well dessert is 1/2 a chocolate protein bar with a hot cup of decaf tea heavily laced with Miralax!  Can't decide if I blame bariatric surgery or old age.  Probably a little of both.  It's a whole new life going on ..... Sigh!  Not complaining just adjusting.

I am 5 days out and have to say that your dessert sounds just perfect to me!

Grass always greener.🏃

Thanks.....I really needed that.  I clearly remember 5 days out.  I am 8 months out.  I have to admit I am glad,I am not back at 5 days out.  Bring on the Miralax.....no complaining.

Do you eat a lot of protein bars and shakes?   I found that once I started replacing the bars and shakes with protein from whole foods (meats, veggies, beans, etc.), I stopped needing the miralax.  Obviously its only anecdotal evidence from myslef.

I have one protein shake in the morning made with 16 ozs.water then 1/2 a bar at night for my chocolate cravings.  I do eat cheeses, eggs, but also fruits.  I upped my iron so I think that is contributing to the need for Miralax right now.  This started with the increase in iron.  It is the tender iron so it is the right kind.....carbonyl if that is how you spell it.  Hoping it is a passing phase.....pardon the pun.

Isn't that eating and drinking? A bar = eating, right? 

Not if you sip the tea first then eat the 1/2 protein bar.

I am sitting here enjoying a tablespoon of natural peanut butter mixed with a tablespoon of sugar free preserves. YUM!

My dessert is usually calcium gummies, so I definitely get that! Sometimes I miss dessert, but usually I miss sandwiches!

I hate to butt in, but are your  Gummies made with Tricalcium Phosphate? If yes, we don't absorb that well. The best option after RNY is:

Calcium citrate
Calcium lactate
Calcium gluconate.
