Surgery this month, wife threatening divorce
You are an individual. Take care of yourself. While I truly appreciate what marriage is supposed to mean (I really do), sometimes it appears some marriages are like cages, which is a difficult situation for people on both sides. Good Luck ?

Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
? Completed a 24 hr modified wet fast ? May try another... During my wet fasts I have tea w & w/o cream, water & enhanced water, At about 18 hrs I had a spoonful of peanut butter because I thought that's when I'd start eating but got super busy and never did ? Ended up eating around 10 pm so it became an OMAD fast ?

Thank you! Truth be told, I'm super afraid that once my swelling/edema goes away so will my hips and I'll have a narrow/straight figure again ?

Arm flab
Some exercises will work to strengthen muscles and fill in the loose area but if its truly just a lot of skin surgery is the best bet.

For baking its a little trickier. I use coconut and almond flours but those recipes have to be followed PERFECTLY or its ruined. I find there is no wiggle room with those subs ?

Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
Whew! First I need to return to the fold ? but if I want to get in quick I will do a 24 dry fast or 36 hr wet fast, then continue with 20 /18 hr fasts. This is what works for me and (TMI time) I can tell by bathroom responses whether or not I'm there.

Revision weight loss
* Bursts In: Am I late? No, Good * I converted from VSG to RNY at my goal weight. Initially i lost a about 10lbs easily but worked (ate ?) to get back to my normal goal. It is possible to maintain if you are diligent. If i eat weight loss mode - I lose, if I indulge just a little every now and again- I maintain, if i go overboard - I gain. As always talk to your Surgeon and come up with a realistic plan ? Oh BTW , GERD is gone ?
