The best augmentation was much more painful than the gastric bypass. And it definitely takes at least 4 weeks to feel normal.

Thanks! It's been 5 days. I finally got to see the incision yesterday and I'm very happy, I have a waist! I'm just having a hard time sleeping sitting up and the compression garment is uncomfortable.

I have been waiting 3 years to post this. Today I had my mommy makeover! Breast augmentation and lift, and a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck.

I had my mommy makeover today! I'm going to the bathroom alone and obviously feel good enough to be on the internet lol

So, I'm off the IF for now. I have started to see an internist who is guiding my nutrition and dietary guidelines. He wants me to stop the IF for now. He says once I get into the diet he wants I can still do it for its other benefits. For now he has my macros and 50% protein, 30% fat and 20% carbs. I am very excited about this doctor. He is going to be using a machine to calculate my actual resting metabolic rate so I'll know exactly how many calories to eat!

1. You don't meet all your nutritional needs that day. I choose to focus on getting lots of protein when I do eat because I do weight training. However, I only do it twice a week so I make sure I meet all my macros the other days. 2. I take my vitamins as usual. They don't have any calories so it doesn't break my fast 3. I just don't overeat enough to feel uncomfortable, it's meant to be a low calorie day.

I try to meet my Macros but its really hard to do in an hour. I mostly just try to get in as much protein as possible because I do weight training. I usually get about 500 calories in.

Down 10 pounds as of today. It's been just over a month. I did an OMAD Monday then another OMAD yesterday. Today will be 18 hours, then tomorrow through Sunday 16:8. (I like to eat a little more freely on the weekend). I did find out that the little bit of creamer I was putting in my coffee raised my blood sugar like 15 points. So I tried some sugar free and measured a TBSP, that had no effect on my sugar. Most of the doctors I follow say anything less than 50 calories won't break your fast.

@FluffyChix Do you do low protein one day, then load up the next? I just worry about doing the low day because out nutritionists really drill that protein intake into your head

What is TRE

I had a similar surgery date and starting weight. First: when have you ever lost 100 pounds?!! That's amazing! Be proud for how far you have come. I was losing and gaining the same 3 pounds for like a month then I started IF and I have lost about 7. However, my doctor told me not to expect to lose much more because I have already beat the expectation of 70% of excess weight lost. I am still trying to reach my goal though. With that said, the surgery is just a tool. We still have to learn how to be healthy! Are you tracking calories and macros? getting enough protein and water?

I drink about 100oz a day

I know I said I wouldn't worry so much about the scale, but I'm curious. Does anyone lose weight with 16:8 fasts? I only lose at 24+ hours

Do you still lose weight with this program? I'm about the same calorie and exercise and have hit a plateau. I just don't think I can restrict my calories more or work out more.
