    Intermittent Fasting

    I started mine 16:8 modified with coffee or tea with premeir shake used as creamer I'm not sure if it slowed the process down much but it was enjoyable as a process 20:4 with stricter protocol, i feel the difference

    Food Before and After Photos

    It's likely carb cravings, have it after everything vacation I don't behave on... I have to reform post vaca hard core or control what I eat better during, I'm choosing the latter these days, just easier for me...

    Super interesting conversation! These days I only want the best tasting versions of whatever I can have to eat, if I can only have a little it has to be amazing quality or if rather drink some tea and wait until I can have the best lol

    Non Scale Victories

    Thanks!!!! Im just glad i dont have to mourn their lose as these were my very expensive top of the line clothes (hence the upcycle instead of donations) I'm actually buying lesser quality clothing these days (when I do purchase) because if the size changes happening quicker, no need to invest in super high quality for 2 months worth of wears lol !!!

    Who to tell, what to tell them

    Tell only who you're comfortable sharing with, its your Journey. The changes (food) mostly resemble every other diet people are on so that's not a dead giveaway, how your body reacts to surgery (obvious visible changes), only time will tell, there may be nothing to notice except weightloss. You can say as much or as little as you want

    FSA/HSA cover vitamins??

    Probably not unless there is a prescription, but check. It could be eligible under a tax exempt flexible spending account some organizations offer which usually use the funds (which is money deducted from salary prior to taxation) for things such as over the counter meds etc. Check if she has that benefit.

    Am I just impatient

    Try focusing on finding the best tasting (allowable and tolerable) foods in your current plan if you're having a tough time adjusting Like if you can't stand another boring grilled chicken breast try to rework the recipe ingredients and cooking methods. And proper spices will make all the difference. I had to cycle foods in and out because I couldn't tolerate them or would become adversed quickly. So I'd do a week of fish based meals, then a week of chicken, then legumes, then soy etc Safe Journey!
  11. I recently gave up nuts (unless traveling only option) I was eating too many cals worth , its possible to start over and refine your diet as many times as you need. Good luck!

    I used to eat the wasa ones pre surgery but these have fewer ingredients so I decided to give it a go, I like them more. They are harder I think...

    Intermittent Fasting

    Decided to move into 20:4 to kick into gear since I was doing it wrong for a while, its the quickest way without going full fast. I have a very busy week where eating is secondary and it seemed like the best time to try the stricter method, but it's a few days no biggie (done it before full fast though... different beast) No anorexia for me but i do appreciate the concerns, im not willing to damage my body and lose my hair lol when I've lost all the weight I already wanted to, pointless and counterproductive so no high to chase, i feel regular like all my other fasting periods throughout my life. but I do like the freedom of not constantly worrying/thinking about eating, I do focus on hydration. I think this is a normal/non problematic lifestyle to adapt (hydrating more, eating less) also I think 72 hrs low protein absorption won't really affect me long term. Its good to have all the science for any one else who may find the thread in time to come, I'm just chronicling my experience and as technically incorrect as it may be, its a honest one.

    Intermittent Fasting

    Opinions are welcome, i also have the discretion to refuse them. Which part is disordered? the process, the reason,the timing, the food? however I can clearly eliminate some of the protein (shake) from such a short window, there I will concede I have a day or two to go before dipping back down... Keep y'all posted!

  21. Hi I don't know a lot about RNY but I've recently learned that apparently just within the standard RNY procedure there are different technical approaches your surgeon can take to give you different efficacies. Research, ask detailed questions,advocate for yourself and ask for the most effective procedure for you. You can do this, again!

    Ingrown hairs??

    I highly recommend gently exfoliating/scrubbing the area especially after shaving. Also visit a dermatologist if you can to make sure it's not a recurring infection. side note: Laser hair removal, although expensive, works well even... if its just one or two treatments to just to stop the Ingrow hairs
