Okay, so now I have a better understanding of how this can work and I am going to give it a try. I'm sort of accidentally already doing it, I think. LOL! I am working my way through this thread and will catch up with all of the iterations of IF plans, how everybody's doing and find a workable plan for me. Wish me luck!

Sweetie, come hang out and play for sure and do your reading. But I think 3months out is still too soon to add IF, IMHO. I think you need to be a minimum of 6 months out and MUST be able to eat ALL of your Protein with food and be getting a good amount of veg/nutrition from food. You do you, but I think anything less is kinda overkill. Let your surgery work for you as you work for it. :)

Earl Grey + Green Tea = "Match" made in heaven. :D I'm having it right now! Matcha to follow mid-morning. But I don't have a beautiful set like you. :(

Nice! I will join you shortly!

And I think he got it from Amazon

You know what's weird... I randomly started adding other teas to my Matcha for different flavor profiles but never even looked up health benefits of the combos...

:) Which ones are you adding together and how do they taste? Have you tried lemon or ginger with it?

I've been spending too much time reading about autophagy. I'm determined to reverse this tremor crap I have since chemo. And there are lots of teas that aid autophagy and are also supposed to support new stem cell growth and longevity. I tell ya, I'm falling down the rabbit hole more and more. Pretty soon I'm turning vegan, sporting a black mustache and looking like Valter Longo. LOL. ;)

      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.
