    Lentil Cookbook?

    I πŸ’œ lentils... But a Lentil only cool book... Hmmmm thats super specific so try Google Also can you branch out to other legumes as well (so you dont get stuck in a rut)? All legumes/beans can be cooked very very tender and mashed blended into stew/soup? You can even add unflavored protein powder, yogurt, cheese or cottage cheese as a topping. Good Luck and share if you find something πŸ’œ

  7. Last minute cold feet jitters are common especially for major decisions. But only you will know for certain if you're ready. See how you feel throughout the month of September and go from there. If you're still not ready, consider postponing it until you are by setting a date further out instead of cancelling so you won't have to start over (check if that's an option). If you don't want the surgery at the end of the process thats ok too. By 1yr post op most initial worries/fears/regrets *may* be in the rearview. Good Luck πŸ’œ

    What to bring with to the hospital

    Try not to bring too much. I over packed for both of my surgeries (and im a minimalist) The thing I used the most was the button for the pain pump Good Luck πŸ’œ

    How much food should I be eating?

    ⬆Agreed⬆ Also fluids are usually much more important at this stage

    Can't tolerate protein supplements.

    Totally forgot about forgoing supplements and heading straight to foods! Good call!

    Can't tolerate protein supplements.

    Hi Try unflavored protein powder (Genepro & Isopure) Protein water (Premier, Protein 2o), Protein juice style powders (Syntrax), protein shots and protein soup. The BP store here has a lot of different types. Also try whey Isolate not concentrate (Isopure) & vegan protein (Ghost) Good Luck πŸ’œ

    Weighing your food on a food scale

    Yes I measured and counted to an extent. It helped me initially to know amounts until I had a good get a handle on them. Now I can see the amounts because I'm so used to it. But further out it *may* help more if your weightloss slows prematurely or when you want to ease into maintenance. Check with your Team about how they want you to track your intake. Diffent programs have different rules.

    No not a traditional structure and it's not caused by the surgeries

    Dilatation should resolve it but we'll see Im STILL in a relationship and ethically i dont think he could touch me without a scalpel πŸ˜‚ But a Girl can look and apparently so can a Doc πŸ™Œ

    Is 1000kcal a day too little PREOP???

    If you use a tracking app like MyFitnessPal it gives you caloric min/max to lose X lb/kil per week. That's a managable start especially for 8 weeks until surgery (you don't want to burn out). Play around and see where you are comfortable, but listen to your body if it suggests you need more Good Luck πŸ’œ

    The Maintenance Thread

    Ive been super busy running around and lightly traveling. I didn't share because im still in the testing phase. Needed an emergency endo and another on the way. I have esophageal webbing but it should be easily resolved. My bypass however looks superb πŸ˜‚ Cant find a pic of him anywhere not even healthgrades but believe me ...πŸ”₯ Bonus: he's already seen me naked ☺

    The Maintenance Thread

    151 today πŸ™ŒπŸ’ƒπŸ‘πŸ”₯ I was 146 about a week ago and not happy about it (dehydration weight - thank goodness) I saw my new Surgeon Wed and he was very very very satisfied that i didn't lose too much after RNY conversion (especially because I am having a few issues) He's quite happy I bounced back up. He wants me healthy, maintaining and firmly in the 26-28 BMI range (the plan from the start) Also my smoking hot PA stopped in, even though he was busy, to tell me I looked great... Like 4 times πŸ˜‚ So maintenance is still in the 150s for me
