Yup- used to happen to me at least once a week not anymore really

Yeah....similar and then I would burst blood vessels all over the sides of my face and chin. Now I have learned what to eat, how much, how to chew it, etc...but it was a huge learning process for me. take it easy - shakes, soft foods, etc for a few days.

Does anyone else throw up blood when they vomit. I don’t vomit often anymore but when I do it’s not pleasant and I always end up spitting up phlegm with red blood in it. The harder it is to throw up (something stuck) the more blood. I also always end up bursting blood vessels in my face then too. So annoying. I asked about the blood at my last appointment two weeks ago and didn’t really get an answer. No other issues. Just curious if anyone else gets this....or has any experience with it.

I’m down from a 7 to 6.5 and just bought a 6 in a pair of sneakers today.

Yeah ...sorry. I can take my licks . I don't get offended like some. Sorry to waste ur time though. However, it's not like I eat junk all day- not even close. I may have a few crackers once a week or so but I KNOW I shouldn't.

I think I know my issue but I don't want to admit it LOL carbs are easy to eat (crackers etc- even though i feel nauseous afterwards)- protein is hard to eat....voila- there is the issue. WHen i eat 100% on plan- weight falls off like it should. When I don't- it doesnt move. SIGH but I have to stay in the 600-800 range but that is actually pretty comfortable for me for a daily intake as long as I don't eat things I shouldn't eat anyway. Thanks again!

This is really good advice. I just haven't lost much this month and I was hoping IF would help that. But if I am more diligent w/ my plan (getting protein in, eating regularly...etc) I bet it would be all I need to do.

This is what I worry about. Last night for dinner i ate ONE shrimp...a little cauliflower risotto and a few bites of zoodles and was overly stuffed. Every meal with protein is like this. So I am going back to forcing myself to drink shakes to supplement again I am hoping it gets easier to eat protein.....sooner or later.

I had surgery the day after you- i still lose some- but much less AND i have new hair growth- i definitely am too lax on my protein though and working really hard to get that up. I don't really take any extra supplements, just my regular vitamins. Luckily I had a lot of hair so it's really not super noticeable. It will stop- probably soon!!

I am going to try this starting tomorrow

Maybe I will try that......gah. and ya know. just discipline and refocus and continue weight loss and just overall health. It also seems like it would fit my day well and force me to be more disciplined which i need!

what did you season your salmon with- looks good!

decaf what?! lol I am apparently "not allowed" black coffee- that used to be my go to- so now I have to use a little cream SIGHHHHHHHh. I bet I could drink black coffee again....it's been almost 7 months since surgery. but decaf is a huge no no no

So you guys- do any of you drink coffee in the morning and then still wait to start you window of eating until later in the day? I was thinking I could probably do 16:8 but I have to have coffee in the morning or I cannot function.

For me- when I drink right up until I eat, I am full pretty much right away....the more empty my pouch is, the more I can actually eat what I am supposed to. that being said- I drink most days all day except after and during eating because it's really just not possible or I get sick.
