We need to start watching less visually appealing people to prove we aren't biased... 😂😂😂

Lol,

No I never used ginseng alone, it may have been a minor additive to a tea blend, I came into knowledge of traditional medicine while I was pregnant and a lot of plant meds are unsafe during those times so I avoided things I didn't out right need.

Traditional medicine brands & Yogi teas have a lot of odd blends. Amazon & Whole Foods.

I would think your HEB would carry it, Krogers and Wally World have it, and last resort --Health food store will.

So I guess adding just a wee bit of lemonade flavored Crystal Light negates the beautiful effects of Matcha, huh? I'm pretty much think I've done a very huge faux pax ... Right? :)

IDK , I don't drink Crystal light so I'm not familiar with the ingredients. What would be the problem?

He is my fave, not just because he's easy on the eyes, but he says I can have my carbs! 😍

Love this one!! TY @GreenTealael! And agreed, he's such a cutie patootie. Love how both he and Thomas Lauer are able to drill down into the science and give it to us without nerding out!

And LOVE that we are in energy deficit already due to our surgery, so applying IF to us is a triple win!!

Ok, due to poor behavior this weekend, I'm gonna try for a 24 hour fast. Next meal will hopefully be tonight around 7:30pm. Lots and lots of black coffee, green tea and matcha! [emoji3]
Speaking of matcha, look what I bought. I'm blaming@GreenTealael if it all goes horribly wrong. 20190116_124942.jpeg

But what if it goes all right???

(if it's in powdered form and you plan to make hot tea, add a little hot Water to it first to make a smooth paste in the cup to prevent clumping, then slowly stir in the rest.)

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

      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.
