Back to my flexible vegetarian ways y'all. Sometimes you got to do waht feels better... No after because this is two meals ... Black bean avocado salad And the same salad with peanut added

Measurable weight fluctuates all of the time most people's progress looks like spikes & stairs instead of a straight line down, scales don't always reflect the work you put in, try looking at other indicators for your progress also like measurements and how clothing/shoes fit. Unless you are deviating from your plan, you will see it happen eventually. Try to be patient, as hard as it is...

I may look into it!

I'm totally old school

I've done it before but sometimes things would come damaged and I have to put in a claim, yada yada yada... I'd rather see it in my hands

That soup looks amazing!

I organized my pantry, cabinets and refrigerator to suit me andake all of my iteams more easily accessible. Everyone else had to struggle a little to get to their items... Oh well I brought baby wipes to the hospital to substitute for the baths I'd miss Congrats!

Sounds like a plan!

I'm going to keep searching first but in my area no sugar free, and I dislike ordering food online

AMAZING this shows great balance and flexibility, a recipe for success and happiness

Complaint: I can't seem to find pumpkin spice sugar free syrups, they know how popular the flavor is, why isn't available sugar free? Suggestion: I think I'll dabble with making my own 😓

I completely understand! I've noticed that certain times of the month I need to eat more than others. This usually coincides with PM's/menstrual cycle. So instead of letting all my good choices count for nothing, I start eating alot of super low calorie foods as fillers along side my main dish if I need it like Salads, or have seaweed snack slips like they are chips (your taste may vary from mine), and I drink a ton more. I keep reminding myself that it's not me being ridiculous, it's a biological response and I will work (smartly) with it instead of punishing myself.

Don't we all? 😏

Hahaha! That's where my extra pounds are too since the weight is dropping...

😎

Great loss @Matt Z I just got a box of the 100 cal mini kind bars because the big ones have too much sugar and cals for me, even though the go down just fine...

It's totally individualized results... I don't consume alcohol so I can't help you there Generally you'll want to follow your post surgical plan to the letter and discuss any modifications to it with your team, but really wait until after surgery to consider the all of the details...

My surgery was perfection, not a single complication, i lost about 45-50lbs so now I had increased energy, always took vitamins, exceed my hydration goals, met my protein goals.. I planned my vacation before I thought about surgery, so at 4 months post op I met with my NUT to discuss the plan for my vacation eating, etc. Because I knew there would be things off plan I wanted. They worked with me. It was great, no problems whatsoever. Keep your team in the loop, focus on great healing prior and you should be ok.

This depends heavily on how you react to surgery, so no one can predict that. However, at 4 months post op I was on vacation like surgery never happened...

We sure do love our Seltzer!

This is going to be my winter...

Yay! But I have questions about thin soups w/ vegetables or meat: I feel like I'm eating and drinking at the same time so I mostly ignore the liquid.. What does everyone think/do?
