Lol the power of black clothing strikes again!

If you are still on your cycle come surgery you maybe able to use a menstrual cup (google divacup). Ask your team ahead of time just in case. When i got wind that my period would occur during surgery i requested to be rescheduled, there was no way i was dealing with that , turned out to be a good decision

Congrats!

Protein and vitamins usually boil to quality and tolerance. I LIke RTD protein like premier and EAS mainly because i can still stomach them Many people only use bariatric vitamins and thats worth looking into, i use sams club or equate brands that boasts of being compared national brands because they cost less Safe journey!

POST Sample meals etc

You will never eat and drink at the same time Thats the only never i can think of...

Im pretty sure they teach this sense of humor to 4th year med students or first year interns The course is bedside manor/ icebreakers...

CONGRATS!

Wouldnt it be great if we could select where the weightloss occurs? I wouldnt have to look 550 months pregnant anymore...

Please research Telogen Effluvium for a better understanding of why there is hair loss.

I am interested but not in what dating currently is, i was born either 50 years too early or 50 years too late. i have antiquated ideas about relationships. I refuse the hook up culture. SO... Im single AF...

Im still single AF...

I am six months out and can eat more than just last month but i started working out pretty heavily which can stimulate appetite also It is highly unlikely that it has stretched (ask for diagnostics if really worried) most likely the swelling from surgery is gone which leaves more room for food. Some one please correct me if i am wrong... Also beware of slider foods with offer no resistance in the new stomach which leaves you hungrier quicker. They can also lead to higher than expected kcal counts . For me its yogurt nuts and seeds. Seemingly healthy right except 28-30g of nuts are 160-190 kcals!

Did you start iron supplements? Sometimes it turns stool black.

I hope no one is judging you for what you want for yourself That would suck I hope you dont think i am, because im not. Im solely focused on me and I only can state what i want for myself, which is why i would be happy even if i dont make it to goal as long as im in range of it

I have a question about maintenance, how do you know when you have truly reached it? Does your body signal this or will you come up with a goal with your team?

i was pregnant essentially for three years straight. Each pregnacy gain compounded on top of the other . I gained around 110 pounds total. Decided to work on a total lifestyle change for my family by becoming vegan for a year (totally unsustainable for me) then vegetarian (or carbetarian lol ) for 10. I lost about 30lbs that way and was there for years. I was never an obese child but i wasnt small either. As a teen i was in the range of 150. I was about 165ish when i got married and about the same when i got pregnant. I ate normally, i dont think i had any im eating for two moments. I also dont think i ever placed any real focus on losing weight until it became medically necessary. I was so busy that i put myself last, never recognizing my weight was a problem because i was "healthy fat" lol I think people should have goals and smash them but not everyones goal is a set number, sometimes its range. Im ok with a range as long as its sustainable. I really only care about long term changes.

My weight gain came from pregnancy. Looking back i now understand that I knew how to maintain a weight but not lose weight.

Idk how to feel about this, im a sleever so different game entirely, but i would be happy at my personal best if i could maintain it for life. I would happly settle in the overweight catagory and focus on other life goals. Im only willing to focus on this for about another year and then i need it to just be apart of my life, not the main event. I want the diet that im on now to be my lifestyle forever so i didnt give up things that will make it unsustainable but thats just me. I dont have food addiction or anything like that and maybe the article was written by someone in the same boat as me who does not understand the struggle of a person with food addiction.

I may try this...

Choose yourself

Lol i need friends that dont eat lol

Agreed
