I'm a true believer in letting your body guide you and mine is whispering "bi+¢h, you're not even hungry, have some water..." Lol

So yay! I thought this was a judgement free site. Silly me for thinking I wasn’t going to get condescending comments. If you were actually paying attention I am actually one pound below my goal. But thanks for your input

Or now that he has practically reached maintenance, he is figuring out how he will navigate life, eating and drinking going forward. Is a drink at a tailgate something that should never be allowed ever post WLS?

That is not something every surgeon or program believes

I drink diet coke nearly every day ... don't even feel guilty about it

Decided to move into 20:4 to kick into gear since I was doing it wrong for a while, its the quickest way without going full fast.
I have a very busy week where eating is secondary and it seemed like the best time to try the stricter method, but it's a few days no biggie (done it before full fast though... different beast)
No anorexia for me but i do appreciate the concerns, im not willing to damage my body and lose my hair lol when I've lost all the weight I already wanted to, pointless and counterproductive so no high to chase, i feel regular like all my other fasting periods throughout my life.
but I do like the freedom of not constantly worrying/thinking about eating, I do focus on hydration. I think this is a normal/non problematic lifestyle to adapt (hydrating more, eating less) also I think 72 hrs low protein absorption won't really affect me long term.
Its good to have all the science for any one else who may find the thread in time to come, I'm just chronicling my experience and as technically incorrect as it may be, its a honest one.
