Haha! Jinx! You owe me a cuppa! 😋 we were posting at same time!

Woooooohhhhooooo green tea rules!!! So coinkydink or not? I notice weight loss on days after I drink a teapot (Chinese size) full of green tea! 🤩

Yay girl! Congrats!!! You look amazing. Great job!

And btw, it comes across as demanding. You are not having surgery in the next 10 minutes. Take a breath. Like slow down. Also the search feature should be your best friend, cuz a lot of your questions have been asked and answered...

Um, I never even knew about that until about 6 weeks ago. I have been here I think around a year or more? Never ever knew. I have eleventy billion points. And posting like a ho just to gain points seems kinda sketchy to me and kinda abuses the priviledge that Alex gives to us. If people abuse it, they will go away. Then yeah, gee thanks.

And now I'm more confused than ever, cuz maybe the problems with swallowing and epigastric pain are just common to us all, only I'm just now feeling them. So it's all a things that make you go, "Hmmmm."

Yep. It's what I've tried to describe to you. That it suddenly wakes up around month 3 or 4...

I want to laugh at your incredulity and congrat you with jazz hands all at the same time!! Well played!! Well played!

Doctor and RD question.

Goya powder="white people" powder hehehehe

Ok, no afters, but I'm hard on the trail of my 6/7 (6 under 7)=6 mini meals that maximize nutrition and keep calories under 700 for the day. Wooohooo. Can I do it? This was B2 (2nd brekky). B1 was the Egg Foldover I made up above but didn't finish. I will finish the rest of it with my soup during lunch in 3 hours. 2nd meal was 3 hours after B1 and was just starting to feel a little peckish. This is 1cup of salad. I ate the whole thing...so no afters.

Cheers Queen Matcha! I'm sure I'm doing this wrong, but I added a squeeze of lemon and some vanilla liquid stevia. Better, but not as good as the Lemonade Crystal Lite Drink Stix sprinkle I used yesterday.

Congrats in advance!

See I read this as: "Worried About After Life" and then I was like, "Well hells! Aren't we all?!!!" (I seem to be drivin' the bus to Hell most days...just sayin'...) bahahahaha! Relax. Totes norm! The life AFTER will be one where you still have to worry about what you eat, rather than what you can't eat or have to give up. You will lament at some point, that you can still eat all the crap in the world with little NO restriction, while eating real healthy food fills you up too fast. Cruel Irony thy name is Life.

Gotcha! Then I'm gonna take a chance on it! Thanks! Here's a red balloon for ya!

They have a kale flavored liquid stevia? (Pssssst...I brake for kale...just sayin')

Hey does liquid lemon stevia taste yummy? Or does it taste like lemon extract flavor? Making an order today.

I use MFP (My Fitness Pal), then I just go in and use my snipping tool and if I like a meal or "recipe" will clip it and save it in my recipe file for future use. It was delish! You can fill the foldover with anything you like. On weekends I do bacon egg foldovers! It's surprisingly sturdy!

Anytime I have a B/A to show I get excited! Wooohooo! Look at me with restriction! bahahaha! Breakfast this morning: a "taco" or foldover made with a hard fried egg + extra egg whites. So much food, so few calories! Here's what was in it:

LOL! I lean towards your dark side Yoda! I had mine with a just a sprinkle of Crystal Light Lemonade yesterday. Was pretty yum, but also pretty sure I totally nuked any chance of it being restorative and healthy!

Breakfast (Saving Matcha for mid-morning). I'll salute you then! I love using hard fried egg + extra carton egg whites to make a taco! ItI It will also be my biggest meal of the day calorically. Couldn't do IF back to back today. Woke up starving. So will just do a calorie restricted day <700cals. It makes me laugh to get this much food for 200 calories! I coulda done it for less by only using 1 slice of ham + an HEB light cheese wedge, but I needed to use up the Kraft cuz it's pretty old.

Dayum!!!!

I think the rice and potatoes may be adding up more than I realize. The only other thing I can think of that may be hindering the loss is the glass or two of wine I have most evenings. These 2 things in addition to your PCOS and psych meds add up to things being harder for you. That means you have to be even more disciplined and that's tough for us! But it's the truth. Dump the booze. Seriously. Dump the crap carbs. Eat meat. Eat an ounce or two of veg. Eat 3 meals. Weigh, measure and log. WALK. Drink water. You WILL lose weight if you do those things.

Part of this journey is being brutally honest with ourselves and what's going on the plate. I'm sorry you are struggling. I think you are honestly eating slider foods and things that taste good to you/you crave. Unless you have phenomenal restriction and are not grazing all day, most of us need to weigh and measure in the early days. Please log it all...every bite. Don't squander this time. It's not magic bean surgery. Most of us have to apply true control and effort to lose. It isn't all done by the surgery.

#16. Halfway through January. Still down almost to lowest weight. Following all the rules with the exception of bad behavior on the weekends and still haven't gotten it together on the strength training 3 days per week. Ok will do better today!
