  2. 🎉🎉 Finally gifted myself a new manual espresso maker 🎉🎉

    So much better than a pourover maker.

    SO. MUCH. BETTER

    Your Teeth After Surgery

    Consult your dentist and let them know about surgery. They may give you additional instructions and tips!

    STARVATION MODE????

    I saw I video that explained that you had to have exhausted all of your glycogen and fat stores to enter true starvation mode which doesn't often happen accidentally. We want I exhaust as much fat stores as possible, but are still eating. Google starvation vs the mechanism behind weightloss surgery and you'll see it's not the same.

    Huge influx of random flirting

    Yes it's disgusting. Makes me distrust humans.
  8. Go back to the protein shakes and then you can continue your green bean extravaganza! Lol I'm addicted to nuts, all nuts. Raw, roasted, salted/unsalted, whole, ground... with any type of meal. Help. I tried to quit then realized I didn't want to lol. We need a support group for odd eateries.

    Bougie size

    You can totally eat around the sleeves bougie size, so don't count on it doing all the work for you. A better assessment would be to look at overall success rates of the surgeon / pending disciplinary actions/ malpractice suits, etc. Bougie size won't matter much if you are suffering from constant complications because of a poorly executive surgery.

    November sleevers here

    Ok, maybe some basics like: Pantry/fridge cleaning day on the 29th, grocery reboot shopping day the 30th, first day of all liquids December 1st, full liquids on the 2nd, soft foods on the 3rd, etc Thoughts? And some suggestions!

    Jealousy?

    Try to focus solely on your journey. I could say that she'll fail soon with those habits, but what if she's a super loser and will lose no matter what, while you continuously struggle but did everything right? It wouldn't seem fair, but thats the problem with comparison. Comparing yourself to ANYONE else is a setup for unintentional misery instead of appreciation of yourself. Be wonderful at being yourself on your journey, and let Madame Eatery do the same.
  12. You know what would be great, a magic 8ball style scale. Sure it will give your weight but also some positive affirmations and jokes too. Like if you gain it will say that you're more awesome than before, if you lose it will tell you to never lose your charm, etc...

    The Fall

    It's almost that time again! THE FALL (or Autumn to be less ominous) Pumpkin Spice carb traps and Maple Syrup deviations from plan will be everywhere. and UGGs but let's not go there... I wanted to add a thread where everyone can leave concerns, questions, tips, gripes, recipes, suggestions, observations, etc. about just this one season that seems to rotate around food How do you plan to make it successfully work in your favor? Share with us! Leave a complaint and suggestion below...

    The Fall

    Never did get my pumpkin spice , I think I'll just get the flavored coffee since its Everywhere But OMG every horrible baked good ever is out now. Cinnamon and sugar floating through the air. How is everyone else handling Dante's Inferno?

    The Thrill Is Gone

    I no longer enjoy putting myself last, narcissistic people, drinking liquor, buying snacks for everyone and Winter (Popcorn, I still miss you a little)

    Protein shakes

    I would not suggest using a sugar substitute that is really just sugar by another name (it may slow down progress) There are a plethora of non sugar substitutes, made from plants, fruits and vegetables, or in a lab. Try one until it fits. The other viable choice is no sugar substitutes at all. You're sweet enough 🌈 Safe Journey!

    3 weeks post surgery

    I would suggest changing the title (while you still have the ability) to reflect your question. Otherwise you may not get the responses you are hoping for. Safe Journey!

    November sleevers here

    Hi everyone! As November ends everyone here will have celebrated their first Surgiversary! 🎉🎉 🎉 CONGRATS 🎉🎉 🎉 Does anyone want to participate in a mass reset? Set the tone for the new year, reinvigorate healthy habits and trigger some losses? Want to start December 1? I'm thinking we can progress through the post stages one or two days on each. But mainly the clearing out of junk from our diets again, just like when we prepping for surgery and serious about this. Any thoughts

    Everything tastes gross! Help!

    Tastes may change but you can adjust flavors (seasonings) to your new standards if you make most things fresh (freshly made fish and chicken instead of canned may make a difference) Safe Journey!
