I HIGHLY recommend leg & chess press machines. Not too crazy and makes a difference.

Mirror Mirror Question: How is everyone's hair these days?

This is an animal study but only for RNY of course (don't ask how I fell down this rabbit hole ?) https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oby.21400

You really wont know until after surgery. But they type of testing might matter. If its not physical/endurance in nature you could be just fine. I was revise from VSG to RNY in july. VSG was a bit more of lengthy recovery than I anticipated, RNY (in comparison) was a breeze. *Your mileage may vary*

What foods are in your instructions at this stage so people can give you appropriate suggestions? (Please provide examples of foods allowed even the ones you don't tolerate) Many plans, although stages sound similar, vary wildly. Good Luck ?

?CONGRATULATIONS?

Light greek yogurt is on most plans but runnit by your team first

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but... for a lot of us trending or fluctuating hunger does return, especially that far out from surgery and after exercise. (Of special note as a woman of child bearing age I tend to get much hungier the week before menstrual cycle)

Oh Such a shame ! I love Kufta (all variations of lamb really)

B-Side Question: What would you tell past/future you if you could?

Don't stress! Its common. The next week you probably will see a loss that corresponds with the gain you had!

Keto (ish) Mug Cake (sugar free)   1/4cup unsweetened cacao (100% cocoa) ,1 egg, 1tsp half & half, 1 pinch of baking powder, sugar sub to taste  Microwave 60-90 seconds ????????????????????  

15 years is a long and successful journey ????CONGRATULATIONS????

Good Luck! And If you cannot find anything perhaps try eating real sour foods/fruit like lemon and lime slices And I agree with @FluffyChix reach out to the other athletes, this sugar thing maybe your body asking for something else. They absolutely will know much much more ?

The stomach ache is the cramping from the sugar alcohols causing a stimulant laxative effect when you eat more than your body can handle. Sugar is addictive. Can you find a lower sugar style candy that at least provides vitamins/minerals/probiotics so you will have to limit your intake. In the States there is this product https://smartsweets.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiAqqTuBRBAEiwA7B66hRdJyvSKmdcZ6Gg6FAZo-DjaRj6GI5utdXr8jPF9B2YkEspwrhn2-hoCDWgQAvD_BwE
