I can attest that intermittent fasting really WORKS. Whenever I need to shed water weight it's what I do

So true... Body Dysmorphia is a terrible thing. I certainly have a very dysmorphic view of myself despite all the changes (and there have been many especially ones I paid for) and it feels like nothing changes it I have no idea what to do. Imposter syndrome is one I don't hear a lot of people admitting. Feeling that you've accomplished something, but you really didn't do much at all or it wasn't such a big accomplishment because it came a little too easily or the accomplishment isn't worthy of praise. Stay strong everyone.

I completely understand. 20 lbs can feel insurmountable but maybe 4lbs a month which may seem less daunting (one small goal at a time may) ? Let us know how it goes ♥️

Is it possible to try plain old Keto instead?

I'm drooling

I also did not experience those symptoms when I had heartburn/GERD. It was more choking on stomach content/acids, coughing with tightening of the throat and stomach, burning throat, constant stomach churning. I hope your PCP can find the problem and it's an easy solution Good Luck ♥️

Echoing other posters, I have all of the "healthy/protein junk food" in moderation (right along with occasional regular junk foods if we're being honest but I'm 3 yrs out of my original WLS ??‍♀️) They're easy for times when I'm not home and still want to control my food narrative instead of eating whatever I can find. They also tend to be sliders so there is that element to factor in but work the plan that will get you to your goals.

No need to defend but now you'll have to be my mommy because I want bento box love ?

Kids are ALWAYS hungry at certain ages

Rest up, you've earned it! Your energy will return in time ♥️

Get well soon! hopefully it's just a new intolerance or bad product etc. and nothing serious ♥️

So. . . I was the "Dad" from this video (with sunflower butter & jelly sandwiches instead of lunch ables) ????

Chicken + cucumber + tomato + goat cheese Salad w/ croutons

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that feels concerned around pressure cookers !

CONGRATULATIONS ?

I have an irrational fear of the stove top ones ?

IDK what the solution is to the time issue is with dry beans I feel like you have to start a week in advanceb because I soaked them at room temp for about 16 hrs with 3 water changes band STILL had to cook them (regular pot) for 1+ hr ? The only consolidation is that I made a large batch for a meal prep so several portions went to the freezer (for my vegetarian boyfriend who barely eats vegetarian food... so now I'm fighting back ?)

I made pinto beans (The long way from dried beans ?) so I decided to make taco salad minus the taco- two meals, two days

Can you speak to someone else about it? Did the surgeon make a notation on your chart reflecting that you chose the DS to prove it is not your fault and the onus is on them to correct? Can you explain your deductible situation and urge them to fast track you? Can you afford to wait until January? Are you comfortable with just the sleeve? Good Luck ♥️
