My brother has a lot of dental issues he equates to a Cortex Gastric banding he had 20 years ago. I truly believe that the science of Bariatric surgery has been so advanced in the last 20 years that this is a non issue. He was only told to take Flintstones vitamins for the rest of his life. I really like you asked this question I would love to know the answer from a professional.

My brother doesn't have any RNY patients, not that he knows. The surgery is not as prevalent here as it is in US. But I asked him and he hasn't seen any difference in my teeth. I've always had bad teeth (white and straight but not good material) so I started having crowns in my 20s. Thank god I have never had to pay for the crowns. I make sure I see my hygienist 3 times a year and if they find something I send it to my brother and we schedule the treatment for the next trip. In short, my appt with him was not RNY related but just a regular routine check up bcz of my history.

Happy Fri-Yay!

There was a whipped cream incident yesterday.

After dinner I had a cup of sugar free jello pudding for dessert. And on the pudding I had a little bit of whipped cream. Not the lowest calories treat, but how much whipped cream can you balance on the top of a little cup of pudding, right? Yeah, I know that I've done some whipped cream Jenga on those Jellos's.

Well yesterday, I decided that I wanted just a little bit more whipped cream. So I picked up the whipped cream container, tilted back my head, and proceeded to drive the little plastic crown of the whipped cream dispenser into the very bottom of my lower lip, missing the aperture of my mouth by just about a quarter of an inch.

I touched my tongue to my lip and tasted not the yummy sweetness of cream, but the salty sting of blood. Yes, apparently, I had opened a cut in my face trying to eat whipped cream out of the container like a piglet. I'm not saying this gashed open my face like a Mike Tyson cross, but none of us like to wound themselves with whipped dairy products. After cleaning the container, I had to do a walk of shame holding a paper towel to my face while balancing the cream topped pudding in my other hand.

I remain a work in progress.

In more positive news, I ran 6 miles without stopping for the first time many years yesterday.

Today, I am all about bobbleheads. Its Marian Hossa Bobble head night for the first 10,000 fans and I am determined to get to the game early enough to snag mine.

Lots of pictures today. At dinner with DD last week, me and DD at the homecoming pep rally, fireworks and bonfire at the pep rally, Photo from game and Baylor student line (Freshmen running onto field to start the game)

QOTD: Apparently my Tupperware runs amok.

Breakfast: Steak

Snack: Protein Bar

Lunch: Ahi Tuna salad

Snack: Light and Fit

Dinner: Hot Dog (while guarding my Bobbleheads)
