Ok, as I posted yesterday… I’m looking in to bariatric surgery, or as folks around the net seem to refer to it as “weight loss surgery” or WLS. The pros of doing something like this are pretty much self-evident. What about the cons? What about the risks? I haven’t been blowing sunshine up my own skirt on this, I’ve been trying to find out about the downside to doing this as well.
First off, even the minimally invasive procedures are still … well… invasive. It’s still major surgery. There are inherent risks any time you get put under for a surgery. But those, well, there is little you can do to avoid them other than not having the surgery. So I guess I put that stuff in the category of “not gonna sweat it”.
If you are on any of the WLS oriented forums out there, one topic you’ll come across fairly frequently is when someone posts that they are looking in to surgery, but they don’t know if they should get RNY or the Band. Sometimes VSG and DS come up, but I don’t know much about those… so I’m going to give you my take on how the two compare.
Remember, I’m no medical doctor or anything, this is just what I’ve learned from reading about other peoples experiences and what I learned in my own pre-op research. This decision is a very personal one, but maybe I can give you some good stuff to think about while making it.
Ok, you ready for this? I’m going to give you THE proven secret formula for losing weight.
Eat Less + Exercise More = Lose Weight

Back with another video… this time I’m going to show you how easy it is to make your own refried beans (frijoles refritos). This time I’m also partnering up with The WLS Reality channel on YouTube to bring this one to you.
Traditionally, refritos are made with pinto beans, but there’s nothing to say you can’t make them with whatever bean you want. Tonight I used adzuki beans, they have a bit of a nutty sweetness to them compared to pintos. Black beans or red beans would be worth trying too.
