Hi there! I highly recommend nuts! They will raises your calories so quickly and you only need a few. Its crazy. Try cashews. And bananas if you can have fruits blend banana into your current protein shake. Instant boost to calories and carbs. Do you see a nutritionist at all?

She contends that anyone who stays “too long” has no life and should move on and stop considering themselves a Bariatric patient 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm still kinda torn myself if I will continue to consider myself a patient after a certain amount of time vs a person who had surgery

She doth teach the torches to burn bright... Lol Yeah burnout is real

I'm sure they are the type of people that have been doing this all their lives... Bad behaviors don't start at 32 Oh and I forgot they violated a clause in the Hippocratic oath "Into whatsoever houses I enter, I will enter to help the sick, and I will abstain from all intentional wrong-doing and harm, especially from abusing the bodies of man or woman, bond or free. And whatsoever I shall see or hear in the course of my profession, as well as outside my profession in my intercourse with men, if it be what should not be published abroad, I will never divulge, holding such things to be holy secrets."

There are so many fields that have now enacted similar privacy and privileged acts to stop this type of nonsense, mandatory retraining now...

You can put the scale away for a bit and live your life like an exact number doesn't define your worth Most people don't know their exact FICO scores, IQs, insulin levels, Natural Gas meter readings , heart rate, poison control phone number or national deficit  and they can remain happy from day to day...

Can you reach out to your cardio and endo docs to both write letters just incase?

Email me fish and chips from London/Dublin !!!

Smoking hot!

Sounds like a plan!!!

Does anyone actually ever eat their leftovers ? Lol, I don't eat out much but they just sit and sit in the fridge when I do ...

Aren't you simply amazed at how much "other" people can eat now?

I still want to see what you can't resist these days...

Damn

When my dietary plan stage reached "health eating for life" I took it seriously and began to add everything back in that would stay there permanently, and excluding the things that would stay out permanently I figured I'd lose what I lose, take or leave it, not working out in excess because its not sustainable for me and what if I break my ankle and cannot exercise any more , regaining the 50lbs I would have never lost if I had not been in the gym 3 hrs/ 6 days a week? Nope can't live that life, I'm underachieving all the way. I will step up the exercise incrementally over the years, working on the weight loss in the kitchen I guess.

Same thing happened to me when I gave up drinking a 2-3 years ago when I started to get serious about weight loss, then I had to step up my personality to compensate for what people expected from the drinker me It was exhausting don't let them pressure you... Oh yeah, I gave those friends up too lol

Fortify yourself against the possibility that you will experience real hunger...

I'm going to pick up a bag

Although uncommon, its possible. I can dump. I have the sleeve. I do still have my gallbladder however.

CONGRATS!!! How long after your sleeve did GERD develop?

I usually start eating at 1pm stop at 8 or 9pm. I'm still following the 30/30/30 bariatric rules also so I'm really only eating in a 4hour window. Other than that hydration from mostly tea & water oh and one coffee w/premier Its actually not hard because I'm so focused on hydration until meal times. It has its benefits. I can't say I'm not getting my fluids in.

Anytime!!! Don't forget to take pics of when you totally won your war over food!

Make sure its on plan for you first (the worry is the formation of a dough ball obstruction when bread and pasta is introduced too early/slowed weightloss from high carbs) if not, no big deal check if they have alternatives like spiralized vegetables etc. Stay close to plan above all for optimal success And remember youre really there to hang out with your family But you totally got this!!! Enjoy tonight !!! you have an entire life of incredible moments coming up

Pay closer attention to what you are eating, track foods and trends.

Yes totally been there... But what makes you think you can't have what you want? Everyone is eating bread sticks, use that time to hydrate a bit then start your 30 min countdown to food You what chicken parm? Order it with modifications (unbreaded light sauce ricotta cheese shaved parm cheese vegetables on the side) What lasagna? Order it made with just layers of meat, ricotta,spinach. Seafood. Perfect. Hold the pasta add the vegetables. Desert? you'll be too full anyways, but if not don't order your own , slightly taste someone else's (only if its not a trigger) Special occasions, not everyday binges. Log everything stay accountable. Stay on track. Challenge the chef to do his/her best gluten free work. Tell him/her your story This is your life now fight for it
