Six months post-op+ : The Sophomores Thread

But you make the payment! -
Woo-hoo! Look at that tiny waist!

That's pretty much my point, though. This looks like the number that will work for you, and you're a petite woman. I just don't see it working universally for all wl patients.

#9 How I'm Keeping On Plan: Poorly, really struggling. Trying IF to see if I can regain some control
-
@FluffyChix I think that's a perfect meal plan for the weight loss phase, but if I thought I'd eat like that for the rest of my life, I'd start feeling really deprived. I hope my doc is right with closer to 1400-1500 calories for maintenance. And I can't imagine a man functioning long-term at 800-900 calories/day.

I've gotten back to walking at least once a day. Need to try for twice daily

That's pretty much what a lot of the IF videos said, how fasting has been part of religious traditions forever. Just one of the perks of being religious. -

I haven't posted in a while - Grilled chicken quesadillas, grape tomatoes and low-fat sour cream on 1/2 Flatout wrap. No afters, yum! -

Is 4:30 late enough to be a make-up day for Ramadan? -

Still might be worth it as an investment in your long-term success. And you've got challenges that most of the rest of us don't have, working in the food industry and all the travel. -

Well, at least none of us will advise you to cut back on cardio! 😉 -

I feel for you. We've all got this love/hate relationship with food and also an absolute terror of going back to where we started. You might benefit from checking back in with your nutritionist or therapist. -

No idea. But it's been much less of a hassle since my throat has been healing up. -

I was the opposite. I mostly ate healthy foods. I love veggies, usually ate those first, hardly ever in any type of sauce. Our meats are usually grilled and I prefer chicken or fish to red meat. I just always ate way too much and honestly had never felt truly full. Not even on Thanksgiving. That's why I loved my restriction. -

You know, one other thing he told me was really interesting. He said the pyloric (sp?) valve opens on a "timer", i.e. at regular intervals. However, the interval varies from one person to the next. It made me wonder if overweight people "cycle" more quickly than normal-sized people and if that keeps us from feeling full. Thoughts?
