honestly, i don't know!! i had forgot to spray with avocado oil before filling the pan, but they still came out nicely... (i scooped them out with a bowl scraper immediately out of the oven...maybe that helped??...or maybe because i put the cheese in first and then followed with the egg mixture??...or maybe it was magic after all...mwha-ha-ha-ha) -

First meal of the day: Mini crustless quiche, or, as the Kid said: "Oh. So like an omelette." 🙄 106 cals, 2g carbs, 9g protein per serving. I ate one and was almost over-full. -

Ok....so there may be a such a thing as too much Chia. So last night I had 95g of my protein-powder-shake based pudding with pumpkin seeds (calcuated 12.2g of fibre) and since I woke up this morning my stomach has been making the pre-diarrhea sounds and "movements". Yikes. Good thing the washroom is like 15 feet from my desk.... -

So I went to a wedding last night and definitely consumed more calories than I ever had since before my 2-week pre-op diet. I didn't have a scale nor labels to scan, so I estimated everything in MFP, and logged in about 2000 calories. I didn't really eat much, so most of this was comprised of booze (red wines and gin & sodas) and 3 spoonfuls of creme brûlée.
Well, either I over-exerted myself with all the dancing, or I was drunker than I planned, or I possibly experienced my second-ever dumping episode (I say possibly because I'm still not sure the first one I had was really dumping nor am I positive that last night was one either...). I was sweating at the level of my pre-op days, and barfed for like 15 minutes. Luckily, I felt sooo much better after the barfing that I got to enjoy the rest of the night, so all was not completely lost.
I have another wedding to go to this month, and will do better. Pinky swear.

Maintainers: Do you still see your nutritionist/dietician? Do you still get your labs done periodically?

I was hoping that the feeling of being cold would go away once the weight stabilized . P.S. Just visited your profile and saw that pic of you in front of the horseshoe...you look like a skinny robert di nero!

a long time ago a trainer said to aim to keep my weight over my heels and to look straight ahead, if that helps...

Love that this pic matches your profile pic!! -
How long did you keep logging meals?
ms.sss replied to Jobber's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm not super far out (7.5 months), but I track every thing. Haven't missed a day (or meal) since surgery. But I'm one of those spreadsheet-loving, data-farming, trend-spotting people, so it's right up my alley. I don't see me stopping any time soon, because 1) It keeps me honest 2) the data collected can be valuable for future trouble shooting 3) I kinda love doing it. -
3 more weeks, and this contract is done, then back to working from home for me too! I intend to leave the pilot light to the fireplace ON this summer....

NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 😭 I have been taking multiple breaks to go stand outside in the sun because they turned on the air conditioning in the office today. I'm that reptile that has to go find a sunny rock to hang out on to survive. Though I'm pretty sure I could fit a space heater under my desk...

First time I made it, I made enough to fit a yogurt container (not the single serve ones), I kept scooping some out of that container for about 3 and a half days until it was gone. (For what it's worth, the recipe I used said it keeps for 4-5 days covered in the fridge) -
I think the percentage of excess weight lost statistic can be misleading if one is comparing oneself to another (which we all know we shouldn't be doing, right?) Ideal weight varies greatly from person to person and can be reported differently by people with same number of pounds lost. Unless they are using the same baseline, which they usually aren't. Reporting on percentage of total body weight lost may be a more telling statistic as it ignores subjective "ideals". I had an original goal weight of 120. Then I changed it to 127. So I basically went from 94% excess weight lost to 100% lost in one day. I could have decided to make my goal weight 130, and boom, I now lost 102%. But, if I say, as of today, I lost 47% of my total body weight, it will stay at 47% no matter what my goal was, is, or is going to be.

Ok maintainers: Question of the Day: Are you still cold??? (Please say no. My cold bones need some hope.)

Well for me, I'm looking to up my calories, so I don't mind the 60 cals/tbsp, now that is. I had this package of chia for a while, but didn't open/eat it when I was trying to lose because, yeah, 60 cals/tbsp! I personally think its delicious with my protein powder (and recently re-discovered peanut butter). Though it may be just because its probably the closest thing to a dessert that I've had since Christmas. 🤷🏼♀️ Plus it helps me poop. Love it. -

Nope, I didn't shuck em. I learned my lesson years ago when I jabbed my palm with the tip of the knife during an unfortunate shucking attempt...stayed away from the job ever since. This lovely batch was shucked by the guy behind the bar. Our total oyster haul last night was 75 (and I only had 6!). It was Oyster Night so they were only $1 each (Canadian, so thats like $0.74 for you guys)
