Officially overweight

You may become more of a foodie with a refined palate and selective taste, finding clever to foods you once ate because every bite counts more. And that's not a bad thing. Most diabetics work closely with their NUT, Surgery and PCP to make sure everything is handled properly so there is no guess work. There are tons of posts about it give the site a search. CONGRATS Safe Journey!

You can try to stop weighing yourself for a while. You don't *have* to especially if its stressful. You *have* to measure fluids, foods, take vitamins, etc. (Weighing is optional and not always an accurate representation of the changes occurring)

Exactly!

Ok so now I measured 3/4 cup of yogurt out and could not eat it all. But THIS time I did not even try. Restriction is back at full capacity y'all. No sliders...

Let me preface this by saying I'm 9 months post op and I know when to stop eating. I don't have a "tell" so I just had to learn by measurements. I started experimenting with intermittent fasting about a week ago, from 8 or 9pm to morning just water if needed. Morning to 1pm tea, or coffee with a little protein shake in it. Then food and fluids in between. Then back to the fasting. Apparently this has restarted my weight loss (stalled for 1month) and I just found out it reset my full point and which foods "slide". 1 cup of Greek yogurt (22 g protein) was a prior slider and now I'm in pain 3/4 the way through. I can't believe it. Yogurt prompts restriction again... FML. I need to lay down. On the floor.

9 months out now 700-900 off days 1200 cals on gym days only 80 something lbs down (getting close to goal, my body is trying to hold out so I'm switching things up!)

Crazy!!! That's like two bites

I agree especially if those snacks are more like meals ...

What is that Eggs dairy fish

You *could* manage as an ovo lacto pescaterian

I'm soooo sorry for all of your troubles, I hope nothing but light love happiness and peace for you.

How small can / will you make my sleeve? I would have gone for a smaller version (though I hear his sleeves are tight)

Squash , artichoke , etc

If it ain't broke... Lol

Lol it literally looks like you didn't eat ! Your restriction is crazy!

Crazy right!?!?!?

Hey there, I feel your pain, I too had to take break from the gym for medical reasons and going back was tough like starting over, but it had to be done (although I got a promo deal so i couldn't freeze my membership) What are you eating these days?

If its not constant, sure but if its all the time... There are better/other carb laden vegetables you could have. But enjoy!

It appears it is common for you. Weight loss is very individual (we are individuals after all) and your genetics, habits, diet, SciFi preference, exercise, environment, stress level, bougie size, etc. will dictate your loss pattern. Some people go in a straight down trend, others stair step (me) ,some go down/up/down again. No discernable rhyme or reason. If you are staying on plan your weight loss will pick up again , but be honest with yourself if you've drifted and correct as soon as possible. Safe Journey!

Great post !!! I forgot to mention i also avoided ginger tea for the same reason. Thanks for the reminder that medicinal teas are indeed medicine and should never be taken without proper knowledge of use/interactions. I forget that I know this stuff but other people may not.

Immediately

I agree with the sentiments of doing it without prior motivation. Not making it a chore but a lifestyle choice. If you can still "O" that is a good sign , keep working at it and look up those social experiments where couples commit to intimacy for a certain period and the effects it as on their relationship on a whole.
