Sorry about your issues. You don't have a filled out profile so we can't see much about your surgery or when you had it or results...makes answering you pretty impossible.

Wow well having 13 kids and an absent hubs is certainly anxiety inducing!!! Also about the anxiety, maybe call the doc and go get a physical/all your blood drawn. It could very well be a vitamin/mineral deficiency at 2 years. Not sayin' it is...but it could be. Also, drink LOTS of water--like north of 100oz per day at least! Try to drop the crap carbs (at least a little at a time), and so agree with everything that @skinnylife said!!! Start that logging again and tracking stuff! You can do it!!!!

Yeah, pretty norms for this early out. Sorry you're having probs. I would use pads or panty liners for a while. You might also switch up your protein. The gurgles get better. The other stuff is just part of figuring out your new tum and it healing. And oh...NEVER. EVER. EVER. Never trust a fart!

Did anyone else do AMAW/CAMAW Day 1 with me? If so, how'd it go? I did fine until last evening. The desire for veggies was really hard at the evening meal. I should have just made the danged ol' psylli wraps and had my tacos. Then I woulda been fine. Instead I was lazy and just had leftover grilled chicken and an ounce of avo. I felt "less than." LOL! Scale only moved 0.2lbs. A lot of work for little scale love.

I guess it's just "what you know". Not that I'm a saint...solid mid-hedonist here...but we've been LC for so dang long that it's just become "how we eat"--low carb that is. But we do have carb escalation lol that happens then we have to check ourselves at the door--hence this AMAW/CAMAW week.

Why not fill out your profile so we can see how far out you are and maybe offer useful advice? Hopefully the collective wisdom of the board can help you figure some things out?! ((hugs))

I'm always excited to play this game on those unlikely days when I actually leave something on my plate or in my bowl! Wooot! Tuna Egg Cottage Cheese Salad B/As! Take that Skippy!

Lunch (still working on eating it) Afters--will have to have it as a snack in a couple of hours:

Sayin' major major prayers for no cancer!!!! Celebrate with meat! Hey did you know about Costco and the Ribeye Cap Steak (prime)? It's from the spinalis dorsi, the most tender and flavorful muscle on the cow!!! I sooooo am lobbying for a Costco membership when the Sam's runs out! We want pics of your steak! ha

Yay! So glad you're doing this with us! Misery Sux-cess loves company! hehe How ya feeling hon?

I'm on a desktop. Could that be the issue? Have you tried using on a tablet? Is it there? Who knew?!!

It's a big S with a line through it.

Wooohooooo girlie!!!! You go!!!

Well the texture of them is VERY VERY dense you know? Cuz there's not a lot of fluid to dilute it. So when you take it out of the micro it's a little "slimey" and like a hockey puck. LOL. Then you fry it off in the pan and it dries out. A lot. Making it even more puckish. You should try it and see what you think! It's whole psyllium husk though, not the powder. Although if you're weighing it, can't see that there would be much difference. Making my psylli wraps for dinner to have with grilled chickie boob and avocado.

Like I Kathy said, "It's the little things!" hehe

Ok, see this little S with the line through it? It's the 4th button from the left. Just type out the word you want to strike through and skip a space, the type the replacement word. Then you can go back and highlight the part you want to strike through and while it's highlighted, click the S button! Voila! Instant strike through and thanks to @MIZ60 who popularized it's use here, the trend will continue to grow until we take over the world no the universe! That's the ticket!

Like Seinfeld, it's a hellavuahlotta nothin' right? ha! Good times!!! 🍾

I put the recipe I used for this and the link to to how to make it up above. Basically stir the ingredients together. Nuke covered in 15 sec intervals until done. It will still feel wet. It took about 1 min 15 seconds in my micro. Then tump into a dry small omelet pan over high heat and brown it on both sides. Then split it and brown the insides. It's a gut bomb of fiber...very dense, so you can't have any swallowing or esophagus problems or you should definitely NOT try this at home. And you MUST be fully hydrated before sending one of these down to your new tummy. Eat slowly, chew a million times. Wait 15 minutes after eating then send some water down the pipes to flush them!

breakfast this morning on Day 1. Or should I say Brunch, cuz I just ate it. Turned out to be one of my Psylli Egg McBiscuits The biscuits are one of my creations and are totes legal for CAMAW! Warning this biscuit is a total gut bomb. You have to have ZERO swallowing issues and be fully hydrated BEFORE eating it! I used different ingredients for this one, but you can read the cooking instructions here on my old - now defunct blog. http://fluffychixcook.com/egg-fast-breakfast-biscuit-low-carb-keto-breakfast-yum/

IKR?????!!!! *snort*

I love you. Seriously.

No indeedy! No food po-po in the hizzouse! Just an aging white woman who insists on using stupid young phrases! ha!

Yay!!! I just saw those threads actually and was inspired to try it over here!!!! ((hugs)) Had no idea it was for critter! TY! ROFL, makes sense!

Oh got it!! Derp! Sorry! Yeah, 10lbs would have been light speed for me pre-surg! LOL. But it does come off weirdly. And like this time around, my lower legs are getting so small-ish. I always had thunder thighs/legs!
