Hey hon, will you look on your ingredients and see if it has soy flour or soy isolate in it please? If it's convenient! Love the shape of them!

Nope. Before surgery I was obsessed with food and eating and eating large volumes. Now, I do 2 no-brainer 5 minute meals...snacks as needed. And then an easy dinner. I usually cook the protein 1-2x for the week and then morph dinners into lucky leftovers. So meals are like 10-15 minutes from fridge to table for 2. If I'm not hungry, I skip whatever meal was planned and move along little dogey. Example: B1 - Protein Latte x 3 (cuz it's mah jam and I love it) Breakfast - Egg/ham/light cheese/salsa steamed egg (<5mins total prep and cooking) Lunch - Turkey Cheese Wrap with arugula, po, rbp and WF Italian dressing + baby carrots or grape toms Dinner - Made IP French Chicken last week and also have leftover enchilada sauce, so this week am making Tex-Mex Chicken Lasagna Boats with mixed salad side. BS - Protein banana puddin' if needed.

Looks fabulous! How long did it take and was it from frozen or thawed? Asking for a friend...

Love!!! Super darling!

Taco Tuesday! In Texas we take Taco Tuesdays seriously. Forget Wednesday night church, we go to the Tuesday Church of Tacos! Hehehe. Show me your Taco Tuesday offerings! What did you have? We used my Lo Lo Psylli Wraps to make super crunchy tostada shells for <20 cals each and <1g carb each. (YES! I AM YELLIN BOUT IT!) and had crispy beef tostadas. So dang good! The fixins may be THE best part!! Hola Chiquita Fresca! Muy delicioso! #barihealthylife #imbacnow #barifit #baristrong #bariatricfood #bariatricmeals #rny #vsg #ds #baribeeftacos #bariwellfed #bariatricsurgery I think it might have something to do with all the fresh fixins!!!

Good Lort! Major yum!! I heart WF 1000 Island.

I'm on it for life my surgeon said.

Congrats and bigger congrats on making a decision to improve your quality of life and chances of living recurrence free (from stroke). You are doing the best thing you can do for your health! I second being careful about milk having lots of "sugars" in them. Most protein powders do not need additional calories or carbs from more protein. And it sounds as if you are getting plenty of protein. Also, too much protein can convert to energy or stored fat. Because you are sedentary you most likely have a lower TREE (total energy expenditure). Also, check your protein powder to make sure it doesn't have a lot of carbs or added sugars! Drink the lowest carb one you can. I agree you've gotten into the dreaded 3 week stall that hits anytime between 2-6 weeks. But 16lbs during that time frame is awesome! Average losses for mobil wls peeps is only 2-4lbs/week. So that's brilliant. Work your plan, follow your doc's progression to a T and you will be worlds different in 6 months! Cheers!

The more I eat, the more often I eat, and the crappier I eat, the more I CAN eat and the more I WANT to eat. It's due to conditioning your brain for reward and engaging the hedonic pleasure center, but also because of blood sugar and insulin rollercoasters.

I think it was eating and partying. Go back to your rules of the Forever Plan and observe them strictly. Cut back on carbs temporarily and get your water in. Give it 4 days and you should begin to feel it again...

Hahaha! I pulled the wrong meal and copied it! Here's the real one! Calories/Protein/Fat/Carbs/Fiber/Sugar (these are the column orders).

Gosh! YUM!!!

LOVE the white jacket and pink coat! I think the dress swallows you? You are so tiny! @BayougirlMrsS damn! I'm gonna have to second @ms.sss! Nice Ass! LOL! And nice hubs!

Yay!!!! Congrats! You look fabulous and so healthy and fit! WTG!!

Yay!!! Congrats. Doesn't it feel fabulous?!! Work the plan, the plan works for you!!!

In the beginning at your stage I was eating about every 2-3 hours. I was legit hungry during that time cuz meals were so tiny and were more slidery in nature. Volume is king. Follow your doc's and RD's plan for your volume at this stage in recovery. Don't exceed it even if you want to! I never had issues with my liquids cuz I could drink a lot from the beginning. I do still try to leave 45 minutes-1 hour post meal for greater lasting satiety. Now at 22months I do IF of 14:10, 16:8 and 18:6. So all my food is in a 6-8 hour window. I do supplement with part of a protein shake in morning coffees (cuz I love it, not cuz I need it), so that takes the protein goal burden off my back and I can eat more veggies. I eat 2-5 meals during this time frame. Sometimes 6! And on days without IF, I still eat the same # of meals.

Breakfast this morning! No afters. BAC McMuffinless EggWhite Delight Brekky Sandwich with Turkey and PS Mozza + Arugula & Baby Spinach Side Salad with Punkin Seeds & Grape Tomatoes and WF Italian Dressing. The whole meal topped out at 209 Cals; 22g Prot; 4g Carbs; 1g Nat Occ Sugar
