Yesterday, Sunday, Dec. 8 Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr PO Sleeve / 115.5 lbs ---------------------------------------- I was feeling bloated yesterday, which I suspect was from the snack overload the day before that, so I made a conscious effort to cut back on carbs and drink lots of water. My abdomen still feels pretty firm this morning though, so may have to do a rinse and repeat today...will see how I feel when its time for first meal of day. ...or maybe I am just due for a good poop. LOLOLOLzzzz ---------------------------------------- 10:30am - chamomile tea w/ stevia + 1 Grande Starbucks Blonde Soy Americano Misto w/ 1 pump SF Vanilla Syrup 2:30pm - salad w/ vinaigrette + cucumber + 1 oz almonds + 1/2 an avocado + 4 oz grilled chicken 6:00pm - salad w/ vinaigrette + cucumber + 1/2 oz cheddar cheese + 4 oz grilled chicken w/ 1.5 tbsp cranberry-balsamic pan gravy + 1 Love Good Fats Keto Coconut Macadamia Bar 9:00pm - 3 garlic & roasted red pepper chicken wings + 2 tbsp blue cheese dip + carrots + celery + 3 gin and sodas ---------------------------------------- Totals: 1830 cals - 93g Protein - 22g NET carbs - 102g fat

Hiya @chayarg !! Glad to see a 2+ year maintainer on here Is your listed menu a typical day for you at 2+ years out? (In terms of calories & macros?)

I've been sick twice. Re: BARFING: Haven't barfed due to sickness, but I have barfed due to food/surgery related issues (dumping, eating too fast). The main difference between barfing pre- and post- for me is that post-wls, my stomach contents come out much easier. Like there is no heaving, just a "slippage" of stuff coming out, you know? This may be different during illness though, when there is nothing in the stomach to throw up. Re: COUGHING: Now the thing that is annoying is the coughing. Post-wls, my coughing (when I'm sick or not) is very unsatisfying and inefficient. I find I have these very shallow, weak coughs that basically aren't doing what they are supposed to do. So it takes several of these coughing "huffs" to clear anything out.

Taste & texture of regular bread?

Yesterday, Saturday, Dec. 7 Maintenance : 5'2" / 1yr PO Sleeve / 116.1 lbs ---------------------------------------- Warning: Look away. I had a snack attack yesterday. And it all started from an innocent Advent Calendar: Since its already a week into December, advent calendars are on sale of course. So I bought one. Now, we had to catch up so there where 7 days of chocolates to eat as of yesterday. Mr. and the Kid were able to polish off 5, but didn't want any more cuz they where too sweet, so I figured I'd help them out and eat the remaining two. Big mistake. Those two tiny Kinder chocolates unleashed the snacking-Kraken, and it was all downhill from there... ...on another note, I am still not back into my running routine. As I type this I am telling myself, I will go after I post this. Though I am also telling myself, "ya, right"... ---------------------------------------- 9:00am - coffee w/ stevia 12:30pm - salad w/ vinaigrette + pumpkin seeds + 1/2 oz cheddar cheese + 1.5 slices bacon + tuna salad (tuna, mayo, green onions, spices) + 1.5 beef jerky 3:00pm - 1 cup cottage cheese + 1 oz blueberries + 1 oz almonds 6:00pm - salad w/ vinaigrette + cucumber + tuna salad (tuna, mayo, green onions, spices) + 1/2 cup Mao Pao Tofu (ground pork + tofu + sauce) + 2 Kinder mini eggs. 7:00pm to 1:00am - cucmber 1.5 oz cheddar cheese 1 oz brie 2 oz blueberries 3 oz beef jerky 1oz pumpkin seeds 5 chocolate covered coffee beans 2 Balsamic & Sea salt Kettle Chips <<< I consider it a personal victory that I after i measured out a 50g serving of this stuff, ate 2 chips, then decided it wasn't worth the 250 calories and 31g of carbs and put the rest back in the bag. Though I can't say the same for the rest of the evening's snacks 🙄 2 tbsp nutella on cucumber 2 Choco-coconut Keto Fat Bombs 1 KIND blueberry-Vanilla Cashew bar 3.5 oz candied ginger ---------------------------------------- Totals: 2922 cals - 165g Protein - 205g NET carbs - 144g fat

I HATE olives, and I have no pickles LOL. I'm just adding salt to everything...

Got my butt underwear and it was promptly returned. It looked ridiculous on me...way too big for my frame. Need to find a "petite" butt enhancer if it exists... ...to make up for it, I bought a pair of tap dancing shoes, LOL.

ME Too! I think. That or I'm craving salt.

Back in the good ol' days when I still had boobs, my tops were always of the v-neck pullover style. button downs required an assortment of safety pins to close the gaps, so tried to stay away from them, lol. I miss boobs.

Please tell me you had some of this deliciousness too...

❤️

Hey! @Orchids&Dragons...I'm having tuna as we speak too! Though mine is leftover sashimi from last night that I seared for a few seconds on each side (and put on top a bunch of salad greens, of course). I just sat down to eat it, but am pretty sure there will be no leftovers. 156 calories - 27g protein - 5g NET carbs - 1g fat

O. M. G. that looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good

Thanks, but me and my arms would disagree with you, LOL ❤️

Keep taking pictures. Write down your measurements. When you start to forget how far you've come (and how awesome you look!), the pics and numbers are there to remind you ❤️

I was cleared for everything by week 5. I was able to eat steak...maybe only like 1 oz of it, but it was fine going down (and stayed down). Everyone's plan is different. Listen to your team, but more importantly, listen to your body.
