That's still a lot of sugar (even if I'm only eating it in my second life) -
6 Months In - Big Appetite
GreenTealael replied to logicwand's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Does sound typical once inflammation is completely gone you have more space for food However Watch the type of foods you're eating more of. Carb heavy and hidden sugar foods make you hungrier for seemingly no reason at all (but there is a scientific reason) If you've reached your macro limits try sauteed low carb vegetables (mostly cruciferous) , broth or tea. It takes some practice and balance especially when you can eat much more, I finally understand why teams push protein first... (9 month later 😓) -
I 💟 this plan & support! Tell me more about the meditation and journalling, how does it work? I'm interested in learning

I also like the blonde (veranda not willow) and I have an Italian manual espresso maker, I buy bags of it and save soooo much coin making my own, and It's always strong enough, none of that double shot nonsense...

Advice. 10 weeks away
GreenTealael replied to joycie4smiles's topic in Duodenal Switch Surgery Forum
Scented candles/incense in the bathrooms at home to light when you use it, stops the smells instantly. Actually in the bedroom too, its helpful for the gas you'll have. Your house will smell amazing instead of horrible. -
So... What's the plan y'all?

Biotin & Hypothyroidism
GreenTealael replied to mistynhines's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I cannot directly answer any questions about hashimoto however, the condition directly associated with hair loss after major surgery and this one in particular is called telogen effluvium. Biotin is mostly an ineffective treatment for this anyway. Research it a bit and you will find more info on other promising vitamin supplements Safe Journey! -
Almost went to the Gym, decided not to.
So i wanted to walk 1.5 miles through park and wooded area (begging to star in a slasher film?) to the pharmacy to get a prescription filled & the gym is only .25 miles more away but then it started to rain so I walked (a different route, I can learn...) 1.6 miles home.
Then it hit me
walking in the real world is totally different than on a treadmill. So I'm good with my decision.

Intermittent Fasting
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Nooooo I see a physical therapist, perhaps YouTube will have a few tutorials without weights so there is no risk -
Intermittent Fasting
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I completely understand, move what you can, as my physical therapist says... -
Intermittent Fasting
GreenTealael replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
So I'm still going strong with Intermittent fasting, i drink a lot more fluids these days and weight loss has picked up again. I think this can be a better reset option (along with cleaned up diet) for people stuck instead of going back to the liquid diet. Both will be challenging to someone not ready to change but this does not involve such a major change. -
Need Advice on Talking to My Wife about WLS
GreenTealael replied to Jobber's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
She may never be on board, be prepared for that. However you are not a ward of the "state", or a minor requiring consent from a "parent", if she can still love love and stand by you and allow you to make personal decisions, that's a good place to be in -
Glad it went well CONGRATS!!!!!!

Bad batches get a refund, open the next box while still in store

Crying into my tea... CONGRATS!!!!!!

4 years post op and can’t lose a pound

Any changes? Up or down? Eating anything different this week? I'm interested in your progress... -
Snapchat dysmorphia (more people want surgery to look like a filtered version of themselves rather than a celebrity)
GreenTealael replied to Born in Missouri's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I hate filters, even professionally (photography) I refuse to filter the face to the point where the client looks too different. IDC people should look like the most accurate representation of their selves as possible when being recorded, and makeup... That's another story, man... -
Time Changes Everything. Stop stressing about the now!
GreenTealael replied to Matt Z's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
*shrugs* Not even the same people Lol CONGRATS -
Double check what your program states but mine counted all fluids towards your hydration goal , water was superior of course because its essential and your body will not have to work to extract it from other things if its readily available, so that's a reason to make sure that most of what you are drinking is water but you can throw some broth, tea, etc in the mix too.

thanks!!!!

People who stick as close to their plans as possible will lose weight. Calorie count can be deceptive without background information like what type of foods are being consumed (but that's a whole different debate for a different time) Are you trying to drink pure water only? All fluids consumed count towards your hydration goal. This includes pure water, milk , broth, protein shakes, teas,coffee, crystal light ,vitamin water zero, powerade zero, gatorade and even sugar free popsicles...
