For those over a year out. Has anyone tried intermittent fasting. I am just reading the Obesity Code and it makes a lot of sense. Thinking of trying it.

Easiest intermittent fasting is after dinner, no food until late morning. Not for everyday but a couple times a week. My only experience with IF is before being sleeved. Was just sleeved yesterday. I won't be doing any IF for along time, until I get enough Protein and fluids.

I agree. No need to do it for quite a while. I am readinng the book The Obesity Code and it makes a lot of sense. Been stalled and finding my balance since about 10 months post op. Now I want to see if I can loose a bit more.

A coworker just mentioned it to me today. Said his family does it - they eat between 12-8 I think he said and fast the rest of the time.

I did 5:30 last evening to 9:30 this morning and cut off at 5:00 tonight. This is totally doable. If nothing else my night time snacking will be alleviated. Going to try to stick to this plan for a few weeks and see how things go. I would love to hear anyone else's long term experiences.

Did another 5:00 pm-9 AM "fast", and 2 lbs down in 2 days. I know it's just Water. But I will update this thread periodically as to how it goes.

Update: 3 lbs in 3 days. Had some nausea that woke me at night. I think it was because of an empty stomach. Not eating after 5:00 pm wasn't too hard. I will probably continue with more of a 12 hour fast rather than 16 hours to see how this does. Also, I believe this helped with restriction. I felt like I actually ate less on the 8 hours when I could eat.

Hi all!!! Im due to be sleeved on 8-21-17. Im excited and a lil nervous but am anticipating the out come. I just wanted to jump in on the IF...It was one of the the methods I used along with the Keto lifestyle and it worked very well. But then I developed heel spurs and had to have foot surgery and was in bandages and a cam boot for a while and was knocked out Ketosis. But it really works if your disciplined. I am considering the Ketogenic lifestyle along with IF again after surgery when im fully healed. I think it's great for those who hit a plateau in losing.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
