I agree with the chorus, take photos!

Try a pantry/kitchen purge. Really clean all the problematic foods out. Give them to neighbors and charity or just trash them. Start over again. For motivation considered joining our challenge

Jan. 10th update: Bean and green stew over Salmon (hidden) , protein bar, protein shake as coffee creamer. Rest of the day is hydration. That should be all of the food... Maybe a ryvita crispbread before bed.

Same boat, I was told to look for a goal range. Safe Journey 🎈

Y'all make me want to cook!!!

Bc I'm brand new at this. My Doctor never gave me much in terms of how I should eat. I've basically relied on google and pinterest to tell me what to do. I mean why are you worried specifically? Anything going wrong? Any issues?

Double and triple check with your insurance and the bariatric program you are having surgery with that it's not necessary for surgery (get it in writing even) then say no thanks. Some programs will not proceed without it whether or not you have comorbidities. It's a prerequisite for surgery. It was for me. I had no comorbidities. Your level of obstruction predicts chances of issues with general anesthesia and sleep apnea can form at any time whether you had in the past or not. Safe Journey 🎈

Wow! That's exciting

My doctor didn’t prescribe pain medicine. Just Tylenol which honestly I’m fine with because pain meds make me super nauseous anyway. Honestly, eveneryone is different, you may take longer to get past the pain than others. Get well soon 🎈

Why?

Questions: Why no pain meds?

You could... But honestly going back to clean basic eating will do you a world of better because no gimmicks and you'll reintroduce the habits you need for long term not just 3 days. I suggest a pantry/kitchen purge Yup. Toss the junk if you have any. Break out your surgery materials and read them again. Recommit to the journey, stick to it, be flexible , forgiving and find sustainable methods to stay on plan If you need a fun way to jump back in consider this challenge

Jan. 10th: On plan eating: repetitive I eat a lot of yogurt. I'm lazy. I buy 6-8 giant tubs at a time. The plain Greek doubles for cooking also. This is my favorite recipes. Lemon (stevia) Matcha yogurt with gluten free everything granola First meal of the day

Listen.... I don't grown my own salads or chickens either, you're doing great!

Alright. I need everyone to know. Not crazy when I talk about water quality. I went away and didn't reup my supply of good stuff so when I returned home I had to drink tap( boil and filter) Massive heart burn all the way into my esophagus. I thought coincidence because of course it's not water causing reflux, so i employed the scientific method, continued the research and sure enough, It's the F'ing water. Also, I ate whatever I wanted on vacay... So there a confession.

Oooooh enjoy!!! BTW the protein I enjoyed wayyyy to much ($$$) is Isopure. Your girl bought that 14 months ago and is still using it for special occasions LOL ( but will buy Antarctic waters and Japanese teas daily, priorities...)

Start practicing. It's TSA dependant. If they don't allow you to bring it through unchecked you'll have to throw it away. Other options is find something commercially available like vitamin water zero, Snapple diet that you can tolerate, it'll likely be in the airport stores. Or drink plain water.

It's really going to be an individual genetic lifestyle based thing. Some hit the lottery and have zero excess no matter what, while some work hard and still need plastics Tip: If you can save for plastics and if you don't need it you'll have money to invest in a cool start up, well water projects in a developing country, new business, house/condo, micro loan charities or world trip... Safe Journey 🎈

This too.

This.

It gets better day by day. Get well soon 🎈

Hopes of healing coming your way! Get well soon 🎈

I walk longer/faster than everyone I know/meet without trying. I have a new urgency to get places (on foot) because my feet and body no longer hurt when I walk now... This means so much to me. I didn't even realize it until children were tired of me 😂.

Yasssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

Mostly Friday night to Saturday night/Sunday morning no true IF for me. Too many food related occasions that are time restricted. So why should I be a ****** about? I just roll with it. Also this is usually when I eat and drink at the same time (very tiny amount)... Can't be altered.
