Damn! @sillykitty I just called my Costco. They DO carry those prime steaks. They DO have them currently. But she almost laughed at me when I mentioned guest pass. Not meaning to offend anyone here, but is there some special "thing" I have to do in order to get a weekend guest pass at Costco? (Just sayin'...I know how to hand jive!) ha

I don't know...if the guy or girl was cute...I'm just saying, I wouldn't be a hater. But um for me, it's def a case of all bark, no bite. ROFLMBO! And like @Matt Z I would take it as a compliment!

Hahaha. You are correct sir! We don't really want to see that stuff unsolicited. I only said it cuz of the other post and I've honestly never in my life had a dp sent to me. Mr. F. would laugh me off the face of the earth if I suggested it even! Bahahaha. And I might add, he I'm sure would be horrified if I sent him a pic of the foobs or the hell that is the post menopausal southern semi-amusement park er I mean carnival freak show. (Thank you @MIZ60 for showing me how to use the strikethrough button. My life is richer for knowing of it. )

To Break Fast or Not to Break Fast
I agree with what everyone said here. The times I lost big amounts of weight in my life, I was only eating 1 meal a day (or 1 meal + an afternoon snack). Hahaha. I didn't know I was doing IF or even doing OMAD. And I would swear that no way was I getting in 60g of protein per day during those periods! Every other time I tried the 3 meals a day or the 3 meals + 2 snacks, I was ALWAYS hungrier after breakfast. Even if my breakfast was low carb, high fat! When I was immediately post op but could eat a regular diet, I did my protein coffee in the morning. And I was ok until around 11-noon for the first meal. I'd eat again around 3-4pm. But then it pushed dinner so late. So I went back to just doing black coffee in the morning and then evolved into doing IF. I heart IF. But sometimes if I've been too lenient the day before it makes me its little whining b***h for a day.

OMG! This weekend I have a date with destiny then! I've been trying to talk Mr. F. over to the dark side and away from Sam's. And Costco has these pinwheel steaks of the spinalis dorsi muscle!!!! (you know...the ribeye cap) I think if he eats one of those I will have worked my wicked manipulative way with him!

I'm still so confused. Why do you keep posting pics of Ed Burns? But serious proppahs dude!!!!! Congrats and so happy you shared! Can you believe you are the same guy that started your journey or even your revision journey? And don't you think IF has been a game changer on the loose skin front? (and yet, part of me is still saying...and STILL no di*k pics all up in heah for us...I just don't get it...)

I take 6 per day to get me to the 1500mg/daily threshold. Like James, I put all my supps in a bowl and take them at intervals of 2-3 hours throughout the day. I take these 2 different ones: Solaray Capsules https://express.google.com/u/0/product/12005711008087417328_285116190776288886_5755393?utm_source=google_shopping&utm_medium=tu_cu&utm_content=eid-lsjeuxoeqt&gtim=CNeTlcbMg_-kSxClw5qutKfAzaUBGPCLxAkiA1VTRCigy6zgBTCBpN8C&utm_campaign=5755393&gclid=Cj0KCQiAuf7fBRD7ARIsACqb8w7kai6x2ceLuIDmT2uZlhlbAMPMyAwZwKp4Ur_DUbK2xiLz02ygcucaAk76EALw_wcB NOW Calcium Citrate Tablets https://www.puritan.com/now-foods-brand-0089/calcium-citrate-024409?scid=45184&cmp=gpl-_-mineralproducts-_-024409 NOW® Foods&gclid=Cj0KCQiAuf7fBRD7ARIsACqb8w7s5J8tmOg4uuwANWLw6rqLN6jD1t4YjLBh2jk5mrz0hfDj1DINt5caAlu3EALw_wcB

It's kinda like this... It's ok to be laidback, chill, and cool as long as he's doing things the way you want him to be doing them...right? Until such time that he challenges the nature of life, he simply does not have the proper "Need to know clearance" in order to be given a glimpse of crazy eyes/face that awaits underneath for him should he ever be dumb enough to move your cheese inappropriately. But I never said that...

Wooohoooo! Yeah, I don't really like the texture of filet unless it is charred rare (Pittsburgh). Or in carpaccio. I will even eat it blue, if it has awesome flavor-flave...but yeah, much prefer a different cut. I actually get something like an appetizer then talk himself into splitting a cup of soup and salad and then letting me have 2oz of the spinalis muscle of his ribeye. haha. It's a win-win cuz he gets to legit order a bigger cut which means better thickness and a better chance they will actually cook them correctly. Then leftovers are minimal and I get to have bites of everything. I'd be calling him BF now. My rule of thumb is if you're intimate enough for his weiner to be anywhere near the bun and condiments, then the BF is on like Donky Kong. But I'm old fashioned that way. And I'd kinda like let him do the BF/GF thing first. Don't move fast, Flash! hehe (It's all really semantics anyway. Right? A rose by any other name will still smell as sweet...yes?)

3 1/2 years old - new health challenges ... ugh.
Oh love these ideas! (I'd be a little afraid I'd say to myself..."Hhmmmm I'm feeling a little like a sour gummy. Oh wow, do I feel a little light headed? Yeah. Yeah I do. I think I need 1...or 40." LOL, sucks to be me. I'm the weirdo that knows the consequences of eating SF gummy bears and still buys and eats them, each time thinking that I can control my portion and the outcome that is ALWAYS inevitable. ROFLMBO!

Love ceviche if it's fresh and from a reputable place that serves a crap ton of it so it moves fast! Petite filets? Carpaccio appetizers? Is this your main squeeze/cardio partner of the "meet the fam" persuasion or a new one?

I'd personally dump the chewable vitamins as soon as you can per your doc's instructs. I agree that the chewables feel like they are hard on my teeth health. The chewable iron has stained my enamel at my gum line terribly! I'm trying to find carbonyl iron pills now to replace my Celebrate Iron Chewables.

Advice for Holidays?
Stick to your plan. Eat your meals on a schedule. Don't trust yourself to eat to hunger cues. Eat dense protein to your Stage and only a bit of veg/fat.

Ok, so yes, I've had 1 episode of RH. Sorry you are dealing with this. But it's common. I would personally NOT add carbs. By keeping enough protein and fats in your diet to be truly keto, you will level and flatten out your blood sugar/insulin response. When you add carbs, you increase the amplitude of the blood sugar rollercoaster and the severity of the RH. The big thing to know is if you are truly hypo or if for some odd reason, you're turning into a T1 diabetic (not producing insulin) and that sometimes happens suddenly to adults. It's called LADA. But, if it were me (and it is), I'd buy a test meter and carry it with you at the first sign of symptoms. I'd buy packages of peanut butter you can squeeze into your mouth. And also carry glucose tablets in your purse. 5g of glucose tablets will raise blood glucose usually about 10points. So in an emergency you eat 2 of them and bam, emergency gone. Then you follow with a packet of peanut butter. Or nuts. Then you have to be on the lookout for the rollercoaster that "might" happen for the next day or two. I followed about two hours later wtih a very low carb, higher protein/fat mini meal. And had no other issues.
