Did you tell people?
Am 10 months out and only my live-in BF knows. It's entirely your own personal business. I say lots of diff things when asked why I eat so little -- had a big lunch, working with a nutritionist on my diet plan, not feeling great today, etc. Surprisingly, most people (aside from waitstaff) seem not to notice or care too much. And now that I'm down 109 lbs, certainly no one is complaining!

The "original flavour" is better than the "100 calorie" version IMO (makes sense )

Airport eating
I travel alot and def carry my own Protein bars. I find airport food pretty limiting -- sometimes I'll buy a piece of cheese or a small bag of nuts. Don;t be fooled by the "protein drinks" for sale -- they are usually way too high in carbs & sugar!

Traveling with Supplements & Protein Powder
I fly often & never check a bag. I've had no issues bringing a baggies full of assorted vitamins. No prob with either small packets of protein powder nor a small Tupperware container of protein powder. I fly mostly out of EWR & CHS.

Headache Medicine After Surgery
I always have liquid Tylenol on hand for toothaches, which I get frequently now. Luckily, I don't get nearly as many headaches as I used to before surgery...

Do you like sushi ?
I only have sashimi, which is raw fish - no rice. Or sushi specialty rolls that are wrapped in cucumber slices or seaweed instead of rice.

Hiccups anyone?
I get hiccups from rating or drinking too fast (or too much). At 9 months, it's a good reminder for me to slow down!

DOES EVERYONE LOG?
Yes! 8 months out & 100 lbs down and I track using FitBit app every day. I feel if I didn't I would quickly lose control of my eating habits. Tracking helps me get my protein in, keep carbs down and maintain healthy eating habits.

Palpitations and fatigue after eating?
That happens to me when I eat something too high in sugar or fat content. I've actually had to lie down for 1/2 hour due to feeling so exhausted.
