  6. Looking good !
  7. As soon as I start cooking again ? I'm making this
  8. I like to believe they don't care enough to sleuth it out but who knows! My cover story has always been dietary changes which still rings true
  9. Steak and Shake double cheeseburger, bun Removed (not seen the 12 fries I ate but didn't enjoy ?) I have given up trying to eat any bread that's not sprouted, like Ezekiel bread, because i can't handle it *womp womp* Side story: My teens know that I've lost weight (obviously) but not that I had WLS. It was my choice not to tell them. I'm not embarrassed but wanted to focus on promoting self love especially during their teen years. They are also thin/average due mostly to a clean diet (plus their father's genes I suspect), so weight is not an issue or concern for them. They are constantly trying to understand why I make certain food choices now, like no bun on a burger, no desire for milkshake on special outings or if I'm eating enough when I ask if they want the rest of my food even if its just salad. It's very very odd because I really believe I eat p l e n t y of food but from other's perspectives, It DEFINITELY looks different. I guess If even my lithe, carefree, music & social media absorbed young adults notice changes and are quietly concerned, I must imagine other people are making many inferences about my weight loss. Will I tell my teens about my WLS? No or at least no time soon. Will they eventually figure it out in their own? Quite possibly. There's really no way to keep it a secret forever. (Thanks for attending my TEDx talk ?)
  10. Perhaps try a clean diet challenge, they are all around the internet (Pinterest, YouTube, Instagram, etc) Usually the first step is cleaning house, pantry kitchen, garage , terrible job, deadbeat significant other, etc. to get your mind and space set up for success. Usually the first few lbs you lose from removing the problematic things will help motivate and propel you forward until the behaviors become habit again You did it before, you can do it again. Good Luck ❤

    Looking Fit!
  12. Hi I have read a few studies that suggested the longer the bypass does not always correlate to more weightloss except in patients with very high BMI Initial article linked. Use citations for other articles https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11695-011-0402-5

  15. Research Telogen Effluvium for more info on why this is happening Research solutions for Telogen Effluvium Request that labs are run to confirm (especially iron/ ferritin) levels are in range Try to wash hair less often or only Co wash (conditioner only) for a bit Try low manipulation hairstyles (ballerina bun) Try to be patient and understand it will grow back it just takes some time ❤
