Honestly, stay the course friend. For you the surgery will be a maintenance tool since you are putting in all the really hard work now. Besides I agree about the lifetime commitment to the plan. I am randomly meeting sooooo many VETs that had surgery years and years ago, were very successful short term then got bored and are very heavy now. When I ask them what happened, because I can't help it, that say they just didn't feel like doing it anymore Cautionary tale

Chicken, Greek yogurt, hummus, carrots, ryvita crispbread (not featured raw peanut butter & granola bar) What? I was hungry... Now I'm not 🎉

Nooooooooooooooooo

You know I'm gonna ask... Vegetables? 😓😓😓😓

Squeaky wheel gets the grease... Stay strong and firm in your resolve to succeed pre and post op

Putting in the work

👍

I wish I could take credit for it's discovery (LOL, I could write med journal or two) i just stumbled on it one night, because I want to live forever... but I do wish the VETS that are doing it would chime in more often...

No I got it lol I was up since 6am drinking Matcha lattes 😂😂😂

Also IMHO if your intake is greatly reduced choose the VERY BEST quality foods when you can. But I'm a snob about stuff like that...

🎉🎉Congrats! Now it's a party 🎉🎉

The goal isn't necessarily to eat less but to eat less frequently so that hormones responsible for fat storage, inflammation, cancer cell growth etc are turned off. That's why we do the fasting/non fasting window periods. It's like a light switch. On off. Regulating some hormonal & metabolic changes previously believed to be out of our direct control (or coming very close)

Generally close to your normal calories, maybe only under if you weren't hungry. but if I remember correctly you were on the lower side already so perhaps this is fine?

Those raw carrots hit me hard!

Hummus Carrots Brussel Sprouts
