You're doing the B12 shots? Also- I find anGREAT source of energy in the Premier Protein shakes. They are AMAZING

I count today a huge win emotionally and mentally. I had my surgery March 5... so I'm 6 days out. I was able to cook twice for my sweet family and not shed a tear! win!!!

Thanks!

I was the same as you. I went to the gym and went on the treadmill for the 1st time day 8 after surgery... I've worked out with weights hard since 6 weeks and took in a ton of protein.. my weight loss stalled at 3 months. My body is changing and losing inches and only 40lbs from goal but the scale stopped moving. I'm just letting u know that's what happened to me when I was taking in a ton of Protein. I never had 1 complication. It's been a weird journey.

This is a good question for the registered dietitian or your doctor. It's not like you've gone crazy over.

For those of you coughing or sneezing. The same applies to this surgery as a hysterectomy... put a pillow over your stomach. Idk why it helps but it does!

Has anyone sneezed post surgery yet?! What a doozy.

The days get so much easier. Being 8 days out now...
it takes 21 days to form a habit. We got this!!

Yay for your fortitude!

Congrats!!! That's the thing that is IMPOSSIBLE for us to understand as normies before surgery! We simply can't compute a situation where we can cook normally for our fams and feel ambivalence about eating or tasting it! You know?
I grilled a t-bone for Mr. F. last night and made smashed roasted cauliflower and sliced heirloom tomatoes and avos for him. He had a cab and this forking gorgeous meal and I was like, "Meh...that's a crap ton of food dude! Try not to eat it all at one sitting!"
LOL. Then I had 1/4c of smashed roasted cauli, 1/2 sauteed chicken tender, 1/8c of brown gravy on the cauli, and 1/2oz of avo. I was so full! LOL. No deprivation or lingering cravings for his meal!

Congratulations.

I cooked for the first time ever last night, I actually found it to be therapeutic save for the few moments when everything smelled great and looked delicious!

Our nutritionist was very forward thinking. She rightly called fruit “sugar bombs.” She asked us to avoid fruit for 6 months. I think she was smart. There is SO MUCH SUGAR in fruits. It sets your gut bacteria to expect a certain amount of sugar in your diet, and then they will crave it and beg you for it. So I didn’t touch fruit for 6 months. Once the 50 lbs and 6 months were passed, I’ve started having one bite of fruit in a day. When organic berries from the USA are in season, my plan is to start adding 1/4 c berries to my daily diet. At goal, maybe 1/2 c?
Look, fresh veggies, especially roasted, are so damn good and sweet when you don’t eat anything sweet. This was a reset for my gut bacteria and my diet. I don’t crave sweets. I don’t really like them any more. I like 90% dark chocolate. And roasted veggies are so sweet tasting to me. From sliced onions roasted, to carrots, beets, whatever. You’ll see. Try and avoid fruit st first just to get used to no sweets, and you will stop craving sweets.

Yay that's great
