Well, do you *have* to tell them this time? You can be as selective as you want or as open as you like but you don't require anyone's consent Be fiercely protective of your right to peace, privacy and autonomy on journey.

The OP should look into that... I never rule out the unexpected...

You look amazing! Congratulations to you Thanks!!!

This thread is interesting, I use essential oils in my hair for years and years just because I like it. OP forgot to ask were you recently tested for autoimmunes and the other culprit...

CONGRATS!!!

I honestly don't know how much more my body is willing to lose, 150 is goal 125 seems like a fantasy...

What's with these men!?!?

If you don't have a signal (I never did until it was too late) try to never eat past the recommended amount for your stage example 1/8cup, 1/4cup, etc... Better safe than sorry Safe Journey

CONGRATS!!!

This is an interesting question! The only thing I can say is not all cals/macros are the same Fat is not just fat, carb is not just carb etc, different types of each of the macros will do different things in your body but that's getting too technical (someone correct me if I'm wrong) Also I know from watching food trends I lose more weight when I eat watermelon vs strawberries although I portion the same cal amounts...

CONGRATS!

You may not even be out of the hospital at that point, why risk looking unreliable ? I would reschedule one of them...

Eggs. I don't know why they introduce them soooo early when soooo many people have problems with them. I can't eat two at 9 months post op, I can usually only eat them boiled, yesterday I tried sunny side up (well done) still made me queasy. A couple of months ago I almost gave them up completely when I ate one and projectile vomited for no reason (I have one of the strongest gag reflexes I've ever seen, trust me almost nothing makes me vomit)

Whew! Got it! Was worried I was doing all of this extra work in vain... I am currently only logging full amounts whether I finished things or not as a safe guard against exceeding calorie amounts, I may rethink this strategy but I'm lazy

Oh well you're a better person then me I was going to "Help" him with chocolate pie...

So no one else is meal prepping?

Give me his current address... I'll fix this

Jacob's stew (Red lentils and beans), avocado, Greek yogurt, vegan sausage

Egg and turkey hash on rye cracker

Try them and if you like them and they fit your plan shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks...except your NUT

Some people never lose the hunger sensation. Not a lot of information is being distributed about this. Its usually attributed to head hunger and sometimes it's not. You can drink low calories items constantly. Savory broth, soothing tea, etc. You can also speak with your team and see what they have to say. Also are you on a PPI? The stomach acid sensation after surgery is as strong as hunger. Rule out head hunger and stomach acid to give your team a better idea of how to help you CONGRATS!!!!

One cup of uncompressed raw spinach will be different in weight and volume than one cup of cooked spinach so weighing is a better bet, but I haven't been neurotic enough to weigh spinach. For dishes you can either build it in recipes or enter separate ingredients and log each one. Totally up to you and how complex the meals are, I personally use the latter method.

Maybe they are waiting to discuss it when you move towards your real foods stage, perhaps they don't want to overwhelm you.

Thanks!
