Lol do u do Australian house calls ?

I confess that I think about food too much and spend hours in bed at night when I'm supposed to be asleep, looking at recipes online . I confess that I hate being near my husband and son now when they eat , because they shovel so much food in their mouths and eat like pigs . I confess that I feel more sexier now and more adventurous but yet it cuts deep when my husband says things to me like " you feel like a shell of a person " . When asked what he meant he said my body was firm before but now I feel squishy .

And that's the hardest thing to get used to , not being able to keep eating even though it was / is hard to stop .

It's so normal ! Lol takes some getting used to doesn't it ?

That's where I'm at now ( also an Aussie ) I have a tablet to take in the morning but the evening is starting to get too me takes forever for it too feel better .

I think they say the heavier you are the quicker it comes off . Also I lost 15lbs prior to surgery.

I'm three weeks out , starting weight was 363 now I'm at 304 . It feels like its coming off slowly but that's the psychological part of it . I have a fear of not loosing anymore or my scales being wrong . Lol

That's awesome ! I love boots I can't wait to get some next winter . Ps your legs look fantastic

Hi I'm doing pretty good ,im on purée food still can't tolerate chicken though so mainly mashed veg and Soup etc . Craving real food though .

That stuck feeling is the worst. I have a bowl with markings on the side of it so I know how much I'm taking in . For breakfast I have 1/2 cup of soggy cereal usually can't finish it all , never drunk the left over milk. Cup of coffee at mid morning or a baby yoghurt 40g Lunch 125 ml which is 1/2 cup of left over mashed potato from previous nights dinner and then another drink in the mid afternoon Dinner 1/2 cup of home made rice , a drink before be dans I'm done ! Too me this feels like a lot I'm worried I will put weight on but I know in reality it's under 600 calories .

So tonight I had my first couple of bites of solid food , pizza .i thought instead of pureeing it I would just chew it really well and then swallow ( I'm 14 days out of surgery ) I had four bites then I was full . But it feels like its sliding up and down and I don't know wether or not to make myself sick or ride it out . It honestly feels like concrete in my chest . Has this happened to u ? What fixed it?

I know ,I'm a complete idiot . It's cause i feel so well I forgot what I've just had done to my body:( I've learnt from it . But what are the slimes ? And no I wasn't prescribed anything.

Two weeks since your surgery and your allowed to have regular food ? No Soup or purée ? How can this be ? Lol I am 10 data out I've got to have liquids for another 4 days then onto purée for two weeks . 4 th dec I'm allowed real food .

Ketosis for weight loss - as explained above, if the body can switch from being a carb-burning machine to a fat-burning one, the person loses weight. We store our fat, sometimes in undesirable places, such as our hips, buttocks, tops of thighs and our tummy. Carbohydrates cannot be stored like fat can. If our body is in carb-burning mode, we eat when carb (carbohydrate) levels go down, in order to get our energy. To achieve ketosis, the body must be on a high fat/protein and low carbohydrate diet. According to some organizations and experts, such as Dr. Atkins, with proper monitoring (urine dip stick, for example), levels of ketosis can be kept within safe limits and the dieter can reach his/her ideal bodyweight without suffering unbearable hunger. There are certain risks on sustaining a prolonged high Protein, low carbohydrate diet. If keytone levels are not monitored properly, there may be a strain on the kidneys, there is a higher risk of developing kidney stones because more Calcium is excreted through urine, and there is a higher risk of osteoporosis. Some experts say there is also a higher risk of having unhealthily high cholesterol levels. However, several studies, such as this one have revealed that not only does a low-fat/high protein diet reduce cholesterol levels, but it also brings down blood pressure in individuals with hypertension. Experts cannot agree on whether ketosis caused by a low carb/high protein diet is good or bad for humans. Some say it is dangerous. While others point to human evolution: during most of the time that humans have existed; we have been a hunter-gatherer species and have lived primarily in a ketogenic state for extended periods. There are many documented cases of human societies today that exist in a long-term ketogenic state. After a 2 to 4 week period of adaptation, human physical endurance is not affected by ketosis, according to studies - meaning that we do not necessarily need a high carbohydrate intake in order to replace depleted glycogen stores for exercise. This makes the argument more compelling that, in fact, we are designed to thrive at certain levels of ketosis.
