    Weight gain during period

    Don't stress! Its common. The next week you probably will see a loss that corresponds with the gain you had!

    How do I cut the candy?

    Good Luck! And If you cannot find anything perhaps try eating real sour foods/fruit like lemon and lime slices And I agree with @FluffyChix reach out to the other athletes, this sugar thing maybe your body asking for something else. They absolutely will know much much more πŸ’™

    How do I cut the candy?

    The stomach ache is the cramping from the sugar alcohols causing a stimulant laxative effect when you eat more than your body can handle. Sugar is addictive. Can you find a lower sugar style candy that at least provides vitamins/minerals/probiotics so you will have to limit your intake. In the States there is this product https://smartsweets.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAqqTuBRBAEiwA7B66hRdJyvSKmdcZ6Gg6FAZo-DjaRj6GI5utdXr8jPF9B2YkEspwrhn2-hoCDWgQAvD_BwE

    How do I cut the candy?

    Perhaps you could start with sugar free or fiber candy first then move to reducing how often you eat that. The question you'll need to answer is why you need the candy (what is it replacing?) Good Luck πŸ’™

    Since you are paying all by yourself definitely talk to your Surgeon about DS/SIPS. (Pros & Cons for your particular situation)

    🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Current Weight 149 BMI 27 Happiness 8/10 πŸ˜‚ It's been a wild ride y'all. Still I firmly believe it was a fantastic choice. You don't know the end results when you begin a project (including tje hiccups) but thays perfectly fine. I don't mind a challenge. I have started in one place (VSG) changed to another (RNY) which i never imagined as a possibility or necessity for me because i never had reflux prior but i remain excited and hopeful about the future and about all of life. My weightloss is old news to most people. Its no longer jarring, shocking, surprising, exciting or headlining so I get to settle into real life and stay the course permanently. Am I afraid of regain? Yes and No. I am afraid of going above a certain weight 160-170s (Beyonce pre Coachella weight πŸ˜‚) but everything under that is gravy 😍 I will not eat myself into a higher range. I also will not exercise my self artificially lower. I spoke with my nutritionist about a year ago about this ans its not for me. If it happens it will be medically induced, and Ya girl will be honestband open about everything going on. Do I have perfect food habits? Yes and No. My habits are perfect for me. Balanced. I can eat a salad and dessert. And feel no guilt. Dial up or down my intake according to need. (*I do no/never have food addiction* so in this way I believe I got off easy. If I had to contend with that I'm not sure where I would currently be, but hindsight wise choosen full DS, IMHO anything else is not a good choice) Do I love my post WLS body more? Yes and No. I loved my body from the start. Never hated it ever. But when I was heavier I began to become randomly sicker i a matter of weeks. I had to have surgery. No choice really. But now I feel the same way I NEED plastics. No way around it. I don't look horribly melty but I'm heading in that direction if i lose anymore weight. Have I gained any new insight now vs earlier... You've guessed it! Yes and No. I'm still the same old GTL albeit updated model 😎 but I have learned to meet people where they are and work with them there amd move on when the path diverges. No more people projects. I have a few real projects I'm still not done with so i need to focus on important stuff πŸ˜₯ I'm a little more chill in certain ways But a little more aggressive in others (i STILL call people out on their BS) Pics soon I'm on the move...
