It has dawned on me that I have lost only about 20ish lbs since I started IF, that may not seem like a lot but it was 20ish more than I would have because my other health conditions and meds were trying to hold me back. I digress. But the physical change is vastly different. I swear it dredged pure fat out of me. so screw the scale, here's the pics

IKR!?!?!

I think it's because it was pure fat and not Water weight, glycogen swelling, etc (things that causes a scale to fluctuate quickly)

Thank you!!!!

I have a very Puritan closet. LOL

I have one risque dress I will post pics of when I create a Surgiversary post (this week) but funny thing is that black and white sweater belongs to my 12yr old. Im stealing her clothes now.

Yes, you have a conservative wardrobe. I did too. My whole life I dressed conservatively. Something happened during this surgery. I'm like..."losin' daylight" on the number of year I can possibly dress like a hoochey mama and not just look pathetic (despite a smokin hot figure). LOL. So now I'm rocking the tight jeans and bootilicious Kardashian look, and tight shirts and tight sweaters and I feel a Giant FU 🖕 in my future! hehe--JIC someone dares to tell me I should dress more respectfully for someone my age. LOL.

You have WAYYY more years to your advantage! Start dressing hot to trot! Especially at synagogue! LOL. :)

Lol, I like the conservative look for everyday! Because underneath there are suprises like garter belts, corsets etc. I have a neo Victorian flair lol

Ridin' the wave! :) Thanks for the video! I need to see about adding some sea salt...

I will tell you that the first day back IF after eating everything and lots of it...is hard. *sigh* But still not as bad as the first day.

Ok. So I have been half-assing this IF thing. Y'all are inspiring me.

I have jumped on the 'bullet journal' bandwagon (I am always late to the party) and set up a November IF tracker in it his morning, so I can track it old school analog, and maybe be more mindful....

I have hella ADD and anxiety, so I think this journal thing is going to be very good for me on several accounts.

Crap! Forget about actually accomplishing any of the tasks listed...maybe I need to make Bullet Journaling my next hobby? I'm pretty sure I can kill a few hours a day this way! :D ;)

I bet they are pretty fun to to read back through and marvel or laugh about them!?

@FluffyChix actually if you just stick to Ryder's minimalist style you won't get sucked into the vortex of turning it into a scrapbook... lol

The brain dump is really great for people like me that have 87,000 thoughts constantly running in your head, and eliminating the 'noise' so I can set priorities. I still use the calendar on my phone.

That so rocks!!! I love that it's "analogue" and that it is a useful tool for organizing thoughts and tasks!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
