This is great & helpful information

Girl time is going to start soon, I have to chocolate prep for it 😂

IF has been decent to me as well... Lifestyle accepted

Stay off the scale! Lol congrats

I politely asked that if anyone had information they add it for others to see because I believe we should back up our claims But if you don't want to add info that's ok too

It could be a number of non threatening things like a rohto virus, influenza or a stomach bug on top of dehydration. Or low blood pressure coupled withjust dehydration. Or just dehydration. All of these will make you feel terrible. ER will run tests but if really really really concerned give them your surgeons info to be contacted and ask for specialized test for things like Cdiff

The problem is there is a pitfall everywhere you turn when it comes to food here, we can only educate ourselves and do the best we can. But soy is in almost everything and not the high quality stuff.

It's best to stick with organic, thirdparty/independently verified non GMO soy in moderation

Also 1 lb of fat is roughly 3500 calories, Check this against your BMR and caloric intake for say two days. You need a deficit of 7000 calories to burn 2lbs of fat. The numbers that move around more often is due to water influx and retention due to various changes, increased blood volume, hydration level, even non excreted waste (constipation) can add fluctuations in weight. When the dust settles after a few weeks (to account for possible stalls) and you no longer weight in range of a specific point, take it as a true loss, (or gain) Don't let the scale have so much control

I would caution you to do a ton of research before converting especially when it comes to soy.

It takes time and considerable effort but little by little substitute out your animal protein sources for plant protein sources (it will cost you calorically) in the cleanest most sustainable way possible with the guidance of your team. Safe Journey!

Im not sure if the wording is off or the information but, usually everyone is required to do some sort of liquid fast prior to surgery whether it's 48 -24hr liquids only, 24-12 hrs clear liquids only then 12-6 hrs nothing to clear the digestive system completely. Some variation on this theme, double check with your team.

Amazing

Short fast day to get back into a proper rhythm. Non fasting hrs 12-7pm. I broke my true fast last night around 8 something and stopped eating by 10pm. This fast eliminated the intense girl hunger of 2 days ago where I was eating every green leaf and nut possible. There was water, tea (smooth move before true fast only, but wanted to show the brand), coffee (I love the cup), eggs (leftovers & new), multitude of vegetables, nuts and even a chocolate kind bar because I'm a girl 💅 Let's call it an even 1200 because I'm too lazy for MFP tonight lol Oh, there was a gym session today! I walked 1.6 miles to the gym (up a hills and through park land) weight trained for a bit, walked home 1.3 miles the easy way. Going to bed early to work on proper sleep patterns.

Meal prep again! Frittata? Omelette? IDK what to call it, it is my Mother's recipe without potatoes. Mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, spinach, eggs, spices Easy.

Not a revision patient but stopped by and answered because this sends up red flags. Why would this office schedule 5 dissatified patients at the same time to be in the same room discussing the same thing within earshot of new patients? Sloppy. Either it's not a fluke they have a lot of issues or they need a significantly better office manager. Either way, never a *good* thing IMHO I would totally get a second and third opinion, diligently research the surgeon you chose.

I but it's just for Starbucks coffee, no clue what others contain...

Stage 2 or 3?

Oh forgot to upload this from days ago @FluffyChix you are right so good, I even tried it with hot coffee and added pumpkin pie spice powder and legit taste like a warm banana nut muffin! Thank you!

Early after surgery in the fall and winter of last year I jumped rope in my living room

I forgot about that! There's got to be some non carbonated kombucha out there

So I almost exclusively drink Starbucks blonde (veranda not willow) and it's ~180mg caffeine for 8oz - that's a lot more caffeine per cup. https://www.starbucks.com/menu/drinks/brewed-coffee/veranda-blend-#size=11019773
