Oh crap! I forgot about that! I so rarely add it to anything. I make bacons for Denny (Mr F) and keep it in the fridge so I can pull out a slice and slap it on something for him. I was feeling frisky that day. LOL.

I have turkey and vegan bacon in my freezer from the summer, I may use it eventually...lol I feel like I should start prepping frozen meals again

In my opinion for what it is, we all have normal stalls along the way. Two months, your surgery is not even considered fully healed nor is it close to being "mature." So starting IF at 2 months, you are usually not even eating enough to be able to IF. I would say IF would be at a minimum (for me at least) of 4-6 months.

I could see starting a 16:8 (16 hours fasting with an 8 hour daily eating window and no restrictions for calories other than what your surgical team gives you) if and only if you can get all your fluids, and your 60-80g of necessary Protein in for the day without relying on Protein Drinks. Supplementing a tiny bit of missing protein is fine, but not depending on it to carry your protein needs. If you can do that in 2-3 meals, then it would be a sorta-safe thing to do IF.

If you can't, then it's something to think about adding for that last 20-30lbs of loss once you have a fully healed mature anatomy.

Thank you so much! That helps a ton!

That looks absolutely amazing!!!! And don't worry about "not making it"--any improvement is a good improvement and each time you do it, it gets easier hon!!! You done great!

Dang had a slippery moment around 3pm! Came home and was making "mah boy" a snack for a late lunch--he wussed and decided he didn't want to pull a 20/4 today, and as I was making his plate of smoked turkey, BHs lacy swiss and blackberries, I was having a moment. I got SOOOO hungry I wanted to just cave and say eff it!

But I powered down a bottle of Water, did some deep 4-square breathing and made a cup of green tea. Score!!!! IF 1: wimpy self-control 0 (GOOSEEGG BAYBEEEEE!)

It was (still is) good. I barely made a dent in it. Funny I got it to share with someone then forgot about it. My fav part was the hummus and falafel lol

Mandated 12 hr dry fasting for routine testing and I'm already so thirsty. Is there such a thing as head thirst? Lol

Checking out my gallbladder in the AM just to prove whether or not I am a sleeve unicorn (dumping syndrome) or a regular @$$ lol.

How is everyone else doing?
