This seems fairly easy and stable

Yes it is! I always said I knew I was never going to back out of surgery after the barium swallow test because it was so terrible for me If I could endure and complete that, everything else would be easy as pie ?

Nearly the same as with my VSG, but every case will be different because specific revision techniques will vary surgeon to surgeon.

Happy Monday! Look at that color coordination ? Le Sigh. I need more colorful clothes

I ❤ CLEARANCE You look happy and healthy

Forget candy ! I want to see holiday undies ?

this is my current mood. I need to perfect a recipe for keto chicken & protein waffles ?

I don't think i ever saw someone cook it both savory and sweet ? I usually see cheesy grits or a sweeter porridge like version

Any low calorie red wine suggestions?

And now there's no reason you can't have it! I ❤ sugar free stuff

And my all time favorite quick indulgence

Dipped fruit ! https://www.thespruceeats.com/sugar-free-chocolate-dipped-strawberries-3151406

? Congratulations on the first steps ?

???Loving these looks!???

Protein water? Sorry but at 6 days post op you may have to power through. ? Next stage soon ❤

Ahahahahaha

Fats. Fat has more cal per gram than both protein and carbs (9 vs 4) And for most fat doesn't trigger cravings, instead suppressing hunger which is why Keto is such a booming lifestyle. Honestly each macro nutrient has it's merits and purpose for optimal health which is why food fit for human consumption contain them. I think water & alcohol are the exceptions (real geniuses correct me if I'm wrong ❤) As you move towards maintenance more research is warranted to decide what your long-term lifestyle will look like. Here's a research journal to consider (oh and I'm sure you'll find plenty on either side of the argument) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/14672862/

So many people experience a stall or two at various points in their journeys Just take a look in the search options and you'll find many threads. Maybe one that helps you Good Luck ?

?CONGRATULATIONS?

IDK... It seems like the longer I fast the less I eat. But i have a comfortable buffer zone. Is your VSG preventing you from eating more? Or lifestyle? I was at much higher calories when I started IF (1000-1200 or higher in August 2018) and no exercise. This hasn't changes ? So I didn't use it for weight loss, although I lost a little. Personally I ❤ IF as a hydration facilitator, maintenance tool and all it's other holistic properties (anti-inflammatory, autophagy, etc)

*Sometimes* the physical stress a surgery can have on the body *may* cause an artificial loss or gain as you heal. Your body *may* have finally bounced back and found equilibrium, especially if there is no change in food type, intake or activity. If it continues to increase instead of stay the same or decrease check in with your Team. Good Luck ?

LOL I dropped 2-3 more lbs overnight. I'm still within ideal range (so no stress) but now I know I have to take it easy with hardcore IF for a bit and only do a modified version I guess there is merit for me in being flexible, stepping in and out of the lifestyle as needed.

I took a break from extended fasting (24 hr wet fast then 18hr modified fast) because my weight dropped to quicky (10 lbs in 2 days) Most of it was swelling/water weight but I want to be careful also I dialed it back to 14hr modified today and will start 18hr again tomorrow night ?

I understand now. No I haven't seen anything like what you want, but Google may help. You may find books or meal plans. Good Luck ?
