Where do you get the bulletproof coffee





U make it yourself.. bullet proof coffee you could have to "break" your fast depending on how long your fasting for. Other then Water or herbal tea you can't have anything during your fast. It defeats the purpose

Again, as I said , how do you know it defeats someone elses purpose if you do not even know there purpose. It defeats your purpose, and I know were your coming from. Alot of people follow different people/ DRs and your way is not the only way.

I would not do a BPC post surgery as its not for me , but many people use BPC to prolong a fast, when they do longer fasts like one meal a day, and because it does not cause an insuline spike which is the point of fasting their fast is still successful.

A Water fast till your window opens, is simply that, nothing but water till you open your window, but there is no guarantee any one is more successful than the other , depending YOUR PURPOSE. Not anyone elses. You can not decide what is the best for anyone else. Some people would even say your herbal tea is not fasting there is 2 calories per cup. So if you want to be a purist you should not be drinking herbal tea or it defeats the purpose if we are on your train of thought :)

I think its important to know there are many routes and it does not all fit you , but no need to lecture someone else or tell someone it will defeat their purpose when you do not even know them or their purpose.

I think its important for people to not try and be experts for someone elses plan.

How far in are you into your journey? Bare in mind , you do not need extra tools, at first when you have a sleeve, people may need an extra tool after some time say if they need to re focus. BPC is alot of calories and early on your total calorie for the day is not very high.

You make it out of coconut oil & butter. But I don't have it now I have had a sleeve.

I do Bulletproof, and have had great success. But everyone is different. The coffee kick starts my day, and I still get my needed Protein in throughout the day and I feel fully energized . After a year of surgery, when I don't bulletproof, I don't lose weight or very little, when I start it back up, I usually lose 2-3 pounds a week, even 1 year post op.

That's amazing! See doesn't defeat the purpose for your journey ! So people should be careful what they say.

I may need it a year in when I can eat more

      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.
