  2. Researching this now ! I know someone who loves pizza and this might help ?
  3. Avocadon't want to exercise that hard...
  4. IMHO hands down, wait. You will need to focus really hard on yourself for a bit during recovery and teaching does not usually lend itself to selfcare. Also you will not know what your energy level will be or bathroom & eating habits will be like until after surgery. It will be a learning curve. I know its hard to be patient, but you really might want to think about it a lot more in terms of what your job will demand of you during your recovery period (test prep, testings, evaluation, conferences, etc...) And of you can handle it. Good Luck ?
  5. Teriyaki Salmon & Salad Before and After

    Ok I can usually find my size these days med is common enough and I'll even take a large or small depending on cut BUT it seems like Targét has way more plus sized clothes/bigger fitting clothes than before. Normally I would say finally but where the world was this vanity sizing 4 yrs ago when I was buying very costly clothing elswhere? Hmm? Whatever. A dress I really wanted but couldn't get because the sizes were off (I choose to believe its not my body ?) Its too loose & drappy for its size. What's going on in fashion/pattern design these days??? I'm about to have an entire bespoke wardobe if this continues. This is why I can't shop online...
  10. Great advice from all Also Try to only eat by measurements (for your current stage) not by the feeling of fullness or restriction. Unfortunately not everyone will experience this or know what this will feel like for them initially. Good Luck ?
  11. Hi, It's not easy. Here's a few tips I've heard from my in person support meetings: Speak with your Team for a referral to a professional who can help/guide you (therapist, counselor, etc) Join /return to in-person support groups Journal as a written reminder/promise Have a heart to heart with yourself often (sounds silly now but works amazingly - look yourself in the mirror & list out loud why you wanted surgery, why you should be compliant and what your plans are when cravings happen) Good Luck ?
  12. They look wayyyyyyy better than what Starbucks is serving ?
  13. I dropped and broke mine after making 10248935016 protein waffles ? I thought I'd go small this time so I *could* take it anywhere I go (endless travel-might need waffles ?)
  14. Vegetarian bean burgers Almond flour, spices, egg, corn and assorted beans (black, pink, navy, garbanzo) Hand smash half of the beans with spices and egg. Fold in almond flour, whole beans and corn until thoroughly mixed. Form patties then bake, air or pan fry until lightly crispy Highly customizable ?
  15. Congratulations! Take a ton of breaks on that ride home to walk. Good Luck ?
  16. Warm drinks and patience ? Congratulations ?
  17. Hi Protein waters instead of shakes could be easier to handle Low Iron, B vitamins (especially B 1 and 12) and electrolytes (sodium and potassium) can make you feel absolutely miserable (Bloodwork will confirm deficiencies) Let your Team know the exact symptoms for a proper diagnosis Good Luck ?
  18. Don't forget to counter their efforts with vegetable trays ? Food pressure can go both ways ?
  19. Do what you need to for your success!
  20. I don't see it anywhere either
