    I stir the chia seeds with a little almost boiling hot water first (to plump them immediately instead of waiting) then add the milk This seems to speed the proccess up for me.

    Get Well Soon and research the connection between the conditions (if there is one) with the help of your primary doctor. They may send you to a specialist. 💙

    6/3: My ideal day is based a lot around the weather also. If its great weather a lovely day in the park with family. All day in the sun or relaxing by a lake/river/ocean 😍 Terrible weather calls for board game/movie marathons with brief periods outdoors to remind us if why we need to be grateful for indoor plumbing and modern technology 😂

    3 Weeks and I don't get full that fast

    It will be a challenge but you need to rely on measurements instead of fullness. I have a sleeve so a bit different but I NEVER had a recognizable sign of fullness in the beginning. Just when it was too late. I only could handle that twice before committing to measuring all food to prevent it. I can now eyeball portiond and recognize what fullness, or just before filled, means to me. It took some training and patience. Also if you're eating for too long a period chances are you maybe digesting food as you eat. That means it will exit your stomach while you're refilling it. Very little chance of getting a full sensation that way. Stick closely to the recommended amounts for your stage and try to only eat for a max of 30 mins (30/30/30 rule) or the time recommended by your Team. Ask your Team questions often and as other posters suggest look for odd signs of fullness besides the stomach sensation.

    What are your favorite excuses?

    I avoided telling people about surgery but didnt hesitate to discuss my new diet. This was the 2nd greatest visible change. It looked similar to all the other programs going around : Keto, Whole30, South Beach, Paleo. etc... So I told people I changed my diet. To field anymore questions about it I encouraged the questioners to try my foods instead of me being pressured into trying theirs. That meant I often brought dishes of food I could eat along to events for everyone else to enjoy. I think it becomes more obvious if you make it a big deal and isolate yourself with a tiny Tupperware of food while looking miserable. And not every occasion is meant to be enjoyed with food. Sometimes you can just nurse drinks. Or say your not hungry, you've already eaten. I personally treated my diet transitions as the most natural thing in the world that shouldn't raise suspension because it was obvious yet not dramatized and I was confident in my choices. Good Luck 💚

You could literally have the perfect xyz and someone who is COMPLETELY incompatible with you will find all the faults in the world Likewise you could be a hotmess of stretch marks, batwings, crow's feet & melty parts but the RIGHT person will think you're the one they have been waiting for their entire lives Choose the ones that will always choose you
