I'm a true believer in letting your body guide you and mine is whispering "bi+¢h, you're not even hungry, have some water..." Lol

We promise we're ok @FluffyChix I love my hair too much to compromise losing it lol I am vain too!

They hurt your feelings...

Beware this sounds like classic jealousy based sabotage...

I hear you I do, but I'm not sold on the higher standard. I think I can phase in and out getting the recommendation and be ok. Only in perfect conditions does anyone always get the minimum, what about all the people who are culturally plant based and never ate meat sources. They still do fine. I have been vegetarian the majority of my life from childhood, before becoming hardcore vegan then flexing in and out of eating meat. Still I cannot tolerate it well. I have to fight to eat it. I cannot always struggle to eat things I don't tolerate base on a blanket recommendation made by a panel of 4 on the board of the WHO or other organizations. I have to do what's right by me personally. I fight my NUT and surgeon on this constantly. They have conceded and agreed to let me flex the amount *sometimes* and support my transition back to vegetarian at the 1 year mark

No! it's all good, mine was just me alone, this is better. But really I'm ok with protein. I decided I can focus less on it for a while, not forever, and still be ok, especially since I weigh less now no need to keep the same high levels as when I was 240...

I'm down to 1-2 true meals, but if I count PP as a meal, which I never do then 3, Snacking gone

I totally snorted and spit out coffee in public while reading this... 😥

Question: how many meals is everyone having per day (normally and while fasting)?

Gorgeous

Ok, so on my original IF post everyone told me this was dangerous. What am I missing? not to rain on your parade, you're doing great!

Any possibility of restarting it, just more relaxed?

🎓🎓🎓 I'll be there 🎓🎓🎓

True story, I have a rough idea if I meal prep, but nothing ever so fancy. I'm just planning for vegetarian vs flexible days ...

Prayers up! Safe surgeries and smooth recoveries

Why? I like food pics, I don't have any food temptations. Someone could eat right next to me while I'm fasting, which happened, I could care less...

Oh it's not a problem unless I'm traveling in NYC, Paris, etc. You know major $hi++y cities that make you basically pay to use the restrooms if there even is one lol So I eat and stay close to place with restrooms no big deal (it's not explosive) but I was traveling for a few hrs without a chance to stop so I knew it would be a problem if I ate during that time which coincided with non fast hrs. So I screwed myself. Live and learn. Otherwise it's just quicker digestive flow and I absolutely love it. I know exactly when things go in and out. (TMI?) It has improved after VSG and even more after IF. I enjoy it most of the time, I wasn't this regular before.

I could be wrong, I am often lol

I'm not addicted to food either, these journeys are not all the same...

I believe it does, don't quote me on this but isn't that the issue with people who have slow/low (digestive) motility

You should be! But check in with your NUT/team sometimes...

Post sleeve and even more so post IF I'll survive, but now I know I'm not crazy
