I'm going to try to get more sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha and probiotics in to balance it out ...

Sigh... Can'tavoid it all, I posted this so we in the WLS community can be mindful and vigilant because almost ALL of our products are artificially sweetened. Some have natural sugar substitute but those are not as widespread. I'm just going to use bare minimum like premier shakes but not flavored syrups 😖 , etc. Just the stuff I can't get around...

I use Green foods ceremonial matcha (it was locally available and I liked the taste) It has 25mg of naturally occurring tea caffeine (theine) per 2 tsps. So you can add as much water or milk you want and dilute it if to your need. I'm not sure about appetite suppression, I never noticed a difference but my appetite was never crazy. Except that time of the month, Sorry. I always loved green tea (medicinal also) and used it for the detoxification and cellular protection properties. I have noticed that the more green tea I drank in the past the weight would slowly & steadily drop without doing anything else , and stay off (it was how I lost 30lbs prior to wls but at about 10lbs per year without trying) Research shows EGCG in green tea stimules metabolism. I'm sure there's more to it all such as the L-theanine that helps reduce stress. I also like the fact that is plant based, holistic and something I can drink

Posting more golden green milk, made with almond milk, water,matcha, tumeric and stevia Some IF plans say unsweetened almond milk and stevia are fine , that's what I go with

Didn't even have to read it and I already knew what it was about... But people call me a conspiracy theorist when I say it.

I don't normally weigh or measure so I'm going to try to remember

Don't forget the long game... That's really what matters

Crap I forgot about remembering to get measurements and weights taken...

Ok ... but I am not sharing my period chocolate stash... 😝

I would totally follow the advice of the surgeon. You don't want to be back in 3 years battling reflux/regain, considering a 3rd surgery...

Omelette (rare for me, surprisingly it went ok) with Broccoli normandy vegetables Only about 1.5 eggs! I ate it all but left some vegetables behind (two different angles but are both before pics)

Look at all that paraphernalia!!! lol, it's ok because I know one day someone will walk in on me while I profess my love to a family size tub of cashews in bed

I had this issue at your stage too, now I don't even eat cheese anymore, but all I ever really want to eat are nuts, sadly I can't (or rather shouldn't), your taste may also change over time...

Stop weighing (if you can) for a while

Balance for the group...

All caught up! Lol Just completed a 26hr true fast 😎 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎 I think is totally fine to take a break from fasting when you need to you know... Especially around that time of the month (except you Matt, sorry 😜), I always want to eat everything... and the eating drinking cycle wls peeps abide by makes it hard enough...

You maybe eating foods you cannot tolerate, try a few different types/brands of protein supplements. Also try to eat different foods one at a time to figure out which ones give you gas or make you bloated. Sometimes you won't be able to tolerate everything after surgery or it may take some time. Safe Journey!

HAPPY REAL BIRTHDAY @FluffyChix

Love sweet potato instead of pumpkin...

Have you seen your team lately or a hematologist ? They usually test for all vitamin and mineral deficiencies... Are you keeping up with your vitamins and minerals? Hope find answers and remedies soon!

I would highly recommend you vigorously insert yourself into all activities and traditions involving food by insisting that a singular dish is prepared for you to your specifications or you do it and insist on sharing it. Be bold with your recovery, take charge of your life. No one else will...

Amazing

I agree!

Hahahahahaha I'm sure ...

Oh don't worry too much about it, apparently it takes time/effort to convert energy and store it as fat, the IF body would rather hold it as glycogen for quick release when you're in this pattern long enough. So you'll lose it again, the beauty of all of this is the end game take a look at some of the studies, IF is super effective especially for men...
