BTW a video about the earlier IF eating window

Giving up meat again for a bit, same old problems, it sits too long in me (TMI sorry) Vegan/vegetarian meals coming as soon as I am well again! F- NYC!

Same here, I have to rotate foods still at 10 months out to prevent aversion

I think you should keep in mind that fluctuations happen, I just gained 5lbs from being sick (eating salty broth) if I didn't know what was going on I would go crazy. But its not a true gain of fat, it's water retention. Scales are not always the best measure of progress. That's why we have the NSV threads...

Is it food related? Or could it be tonsil stones? My daughter gets them and I have to remove them... https://youtu.be/G6V6cPqQk3Y

A friend if mine sent this to me this morning, it's from 4 years ago today at my heaviest around 270 maybe higher (honestly probably higher) Pictures never lie, except on Instagram but whatever, I'll probably post this in other places but I felt like I needed this space because I don't reflect enough on my accomplishments. I think everyone should...

Thanks!!! They are super obvious now, my primary doctor even mention how prominent they are during my physical lol

EVERYONE sounds amazing , I feel like I just made a ton of new best friends. I have sooooo much in common with all of you!

Caught up now... Well I can testify that scales are stupid and don't pay too much attention to them (went to the doctor and was weighed) ive been sick so that means hydrating big time, soup, vitamin c, etc. Now I'm at 165.4 now (so 5lbs in a week of fasting/ minimal eating hahaha whatever lol) if I was a person weighed constantly I'd go crazy. But I know that the soup was salty & carbs help you retain water, and life goes on especially since my clothes fit the same... Up and down the scale goes... Makes no sense at all, not paying it any attention

!!!!Congratulations!!!! (it's probably just gas/surgical pain)

Time will tell, see how you're feeling... but why don't you bring your own foods to stay on plan when you know there is nothing available for you

I only told 2 people, proxies. Medical info is private unless it affects someone else (STDs) but we live in a voyeuristic culture where illness is worn like a badge of honor and privacy no longer exists.

Oddly I got the opposite impression, I felt like this is helpful for the lamenters who feel sorry for themselves that respond well to tough love or reality checks,(no offense meant to anyone) this type of thing goes right over my head though... does nothing for me personally.

Many thanks!

Exemptions are usually for the extremely I'll and fragile, I've recently fasted 20hrs (with fluids), going to start prepping with fasts without fluids leading up to the day, but it's totally doable

Y'all sound awesome! Nice to meet you! I'm 35 w/ a serious case of wanderlust, Mom of 3, Artist, Jewish, minimalist

Hydrate properly in the week leading up to the fast, soup and water prior and post. L'shana tovah!

I have the sleeve and also experience dumping and late dumping. I'm new so I still track and read everything. I usually won't go near real sugar, if I do I now what to expect. Are y'all still reading packaging that far out or eating everything/anything?

This is helpful for people who respond well to this type of encouragement, not helpful for people who don't...

Time alone post op is essential!

The same way people always gain, consuming more than needed.

Yes and if you YouTube it there is a trainer that does vegan keto so best of both worlds, generally the lower the cals and carb the quicker your body will reach a lipolysis/ketogenic state, cals will be based on BMR you'll only know for sure by analysis, but since you gained not maintained your cals were too high. Try the lower end 1000-1200 Max, lower end of carbs 20-30g daily.

High protein : 60-90g daily Low carb: 30-50g daily Sugars (part of the total carb count): less than 5g per serving Beware of added sugars vs naturally occurring in foods Fluids: min of 64oz daily, water is far superior but all fluids count You did amazing, congrats!
