Sometimes I make good choices late-night-snacking choices, sometimes I do not, LOL. And yeah, I've always been a horrible sleeper/insomniac/night owl. Even before wls surgery. But it was worse back then because I would snore and wake myself up or have to get up and pee 5-6 times a night. At least now when if/when I go to sleep, I can stay asleep longer than an hour. My problem is getting to sleep.

Salad, raw veggies, cooked veggies, Yogurt, cottage cheese, berries, chia pudding, eggs, nuts, nut butters, avocados, beef jerky, soups.... ...or whatever leftovers you have in the fridge from the meal you couldn't finish earlier, lol

Nice STEMS. 😍

The building across the street is a community centre. The Kid learned to swim there when she was teeny tiny! And of course you can come visit anytime, even with your tattoo-less arms and plain socks ❤️. And if you are really jonesing for some snow, then you are in luck...we were dumped with 15cm of the stuff since I took that first picture. That 8:30pm snow bank that Mr. created from shoveling our driveway is almost taller than me (and he still has to shovel some more!) I cannot wait for spring.

I drink sparkling water all the time, since about 2-3 months out. No probs for me.

* second posting attempt... * Now that's just playing dirty. Full disclosure on current T.O. weather: 😫😫😫😫😫

oopsies....

😂😂😂😂

Here's my pitch: ....$419 from Newark, or $214 from LaGuardia (and these are in Canadian dollars, so like they are practically giving them away) ....AND, while @november11 & @GreenTealael may be closer, AND I probably eat more than both of them combined: Pot. Is. Legal. Here. *drops mic*

I noticed that gap months ago...is that bad? LOL

@AngieBear : YOUR. BUTT. You need to walk in backwards into every room. @november11 : Your outfits are amazing (and abundant!) How big is your closet exactly??? (I particularly like the matching sherpa vest & boots 😍) @Cheeseburgh : I've missed your sailor chic looks...glad to see you back (Also, are you still working out, cuz your shoulders are looking FINE under that top...) @VIKING 0424 : looks like you are doing just fine without the help of a personal shopper! I think you need to invest in a full length mirror so we can see it ALL (k, that sounded off, but you know what I mean ) @shanza : our resident legit supermodel is back...I can't tell you how jealous I am of your height and impossibly long legs. @Sophie7713 : I heart Bobby. I heart the new windbreaker. I heart you. @Mom_of_Chaos : I guess I have to wait in line for those sneaks. @KaysMommy : You pull off the "girly dresses" like the best of them. It's funny, when @Sophie7713 did that virtual shopping for us a while back, every time I see a romantic-ish dress, I ALWAYS think of you. For reals. @Sheribear68 : wow. you need to step out of workout gear more often! @sillykitty : Shwing! (This is a test. I suspect only those born BEFORE the 80's should get this...LOLOLOLzzz) --------------------------------------------- I'm soooo sorry if I missed anyone, but I only went back 6 pages. SIX. PAGES. Aside: I wonder if there is a limit to the number of posts a single thread can contain...cuz if so, this one will definitely reach it.

OK. There are so many fab looking people on here, its getting difficult to comment on every single one! But I couldn't let this one go... @JakeH , this is SERIOUSLY a good look for you. If you are ever in Toronto, I have a very cute niece who happens to be single at the moment...

Yesterday Wednesday, Feb 27 Maintenance : 5'2" / 1.33 yrs PO Sleeve / 115.2 lbs ---------------------------------------- BFF brought me a bottle of my fave gin and a wedge of one of my fave cheeses, so naturally we had to do some late night partaking. 😎 ---------------------------------------- 12:00pm - Salad greens w/ vinaigrette + green onion + mushrooms + 3oz roast pork loin 4:00pm - Salad greens w/ vinaigrette + 4 figs + 3oz pan fried chicken in bacon fat 8:30pm - Salad greens w/ vinaigrette + carrots + pickled beets + 4 figs + 3.5oz roast lamb 12:30am - 2 fl oz rose gin + 1 square dark chocolate + 1 oz cheese --------------------------------------- Totals: 940 cals - 71g Protein - 25g NET carbs - 40g fat ---------------------------------------

Yep.

I counted the water added to protein drinks

I'm 1 year, 4 months out from sleeve, and with the exception of sugar in large quantities (I'll dump), I can tolerate everything. But it doesn't mean that I eat everything.

Yesterday Wednesday, Feb 26 Maintenance : 5'2" / 1.33 yrs PO Sleeve / 115.3 lbs ---------------------------------------- Fresh figs were on sale at Costco, and OMG I love them. ---------------------------------------- 10:00am - coffee w/ stevia 12:00pm - Salad greens w/ vinaigrette + carrots + pickled beets + 1 fish ball + 1 grilled shrimp + 2fl oz tuna salad + 1.5 oz roast pork loin + 1 tbsp garlic chili oil 3:00pm - 1/2 cup greek yogurt + 1 fl oz sunflower seeds + 4 figs + 1oz raspberries + 2 oz dark chocolate 6:30pm - Salad greens w/ vinaigrette + carrots + pickled beets + 4 figs + 3 oz roast pork loin + 1 tbsp garlic chili oil 9:30pm - Salad greens w/ vinaigrette + pickled beets + 3 oz roast pork loin + 1/2 fl oz sunflower seeds 12:30am - 1 cup dashi broth + 1/2 slice black sesame cake + 1/2 fl oz sunflower seeds --------------------------------------- Totals: 1630 cals - 99g Protein - 133g NET carbs - 48g fat ---------------------------------------

If/when the chest fullness goes away depends on what I'm eating. If I eat the denser stuff (proteins) it takes longer, maybe10-20 mins (sometimes much longer, if at all). I can eat lots of salad if that is all I eat. Salad fullness (or other slider-ish things) goes away in like 5-10 mins IF there is no other stuff like carrots/nuts/cheese etc.. That wooden bowl is pretty big. I just measured, its 9" in diameter & 3.5 inches deep. So like 15 cups, give or take a few cups if filled to brim?

Yesterday Tuesday, Feb 25 Maintenance : 5'2" / 1.33 yrs PO Sleeve / 113.9 lbs ---------------------------------------- Dinner and drinks out with Mr & pals...I didn't order anything for myself (other than drinks)...and just had bites of everyone's food. After tasting menus, this is my preferred way of eating out (especially when my meal companions let me have input on what they order! LOL) P.S. Didn't have to resist the lemon curd tart because SOMEONE ate it all 😡, but I got Mr. to order a lemon cheesecake at dinner, so it's all good ---------------------------------------- 10:00pm - coffee w/ cream! 2:00pm - Salad greens w/ vinaigrette + carrots + pickled beets + 3 oz roast pork + 1 tbsp crunchy garlic chili oil + the insides of the Kid's half eaten curry chicken wrap (1.5 oz grilled chicken, mayo, celery, spices, cheddar cheese) 7:00pm to 11:30pm - 2 tbsp salmon ceviche 1 grilled shrimp + 1/2 a paris toast cracker w/ spicy butter sauce 1/4 cup spring mix salad w/ olive oil 1 oz skirt steak w/ chimmichurri sauce 1 oz lobster tail w/ butter 1/4 fingerling potato 2 tbsp roasted veggie & romano flatbread 2 fl oz tangy lemon cheesecake w/ 2 tbsp whipped cream + 2 blueberries + 1 raspberry 1 vodka caesar w/ pickled green bean 1.5 glasses red wine 1 americano (black) --------------------------------------- Totals: 1335 cals - 73g Protein - 85g NET carbs - 56g fat ---------------------------------------

Ha! If only my salads looked 1/2 as good as yours! LOL, Ok, so at the 20 min mark, I was taking a break, and I guess I was full, in the sense that I knew that if I took another bite at that time I would likely have hurled. BUT I wait for that full feeling to go away and if/when it does, AND if I want more, I'll eat more. I probably could have stopped and put the food away right there and been fine to eat again in a couple hours, but I wanted more, so I kept eating. I don't know if I "chew a ton", I stopped counting chews a looooooong time ago. I think I naturally just don't wolf down stuff because I've been conditioned (i.e., the aforementioned hurling). Finally, I have to be honest, I probably should not have eaten all that I did because I can feel a slightly tighter than comfortable feeling in my chest. I think I had the "look-ma-I-cleared-my-plate" attitude when I was anticipating taking an After picture. I probably should have stopped at 3/4 done...

K, so when @GreenTealael mentioned her eating window to be 20-30 mins, I wanted to see what I could get in in 20 minutes. So here is today's first meal (and it's progress...) Salad greens w/ vinaigrette + carrots + pickled beets + 3 oz roast pork + 1 tbsp crunchy garlic chili oil + the insides of the Kid's half eaten curry chicken wrap (1.5 oz grilled chicken, mayo, celery, spices, cheddar cheese) 271 cals - 31g protein - 15g NET carbs - 13g fat Ate it all (eventually), except for the big chunk of cheese that I found unappetizing...
