Daily Menus for Maintenance
I'm the worst when it comes too meds my pcp gave me omeprazole a year ago but I only took a couple of times and I had an issue where I kept on getting hoarse. Saw a vocal therapist, she said it's a combination of reflux and overuse. But I stopped seeing her after summer ( I haven't been hoarse in a while) I have a constant sore throat.

Hunger pains?
I'm terrible with meds I dont even take vitamins (gasp) they make me puke I've tried many types and companies. Luckily last time I checked my blood all my levels were great. I guess I'll have to be more proactive and start back on anti acids.

Hunger pains?
Starting to think its heart burn the meds seemed to have kicked in and the "hunger pain" is pretty much gone. I looked through yesterday's menu and couldn't find anything that may have triggered this. Will have to put it a really hard work out at the gym soon to burn off the extra calories I ate today and will do a 16-8 fast the next couple of days. Thankfully I didn't overdo it too much, and ate foods that are "on my plan"

Hunger pains?
I woke up super hungry today. I'm having actual hunger pain. I already ate so much today and the hunger pang is still here. I thought maybe its heart burn so I took 2 tums and omeprazole still feeling the pains. I dont want to overeat bit I feel so hungry? Anyone ever experience this? (I'm 2 yrs+ PO sleeve)

I actually got more sleep than usual 6.5 hours lol that's still way to little the last coffee was decaf whenever I restrict calories I find myself needing a lot more caffeine. Not sure why but this is the way it is for me. Trying as much as possible to stay away from energy drinks, when I do have one it's always sugar free

My new way of living
Weekly update Was pretty good week as far as my efforts go. I ate well and got in lots of exercise. I did IF a couple of days and surprisingly really enjoyed it. I was a bit disappointed with the scale as I feel like I "deserve" to see a lower #. But a loss is a loss and I wont let it get to me. My goal is to lose 2 lbs per week. As long as i have the right mindset and friends cheering me on i will succeed. STATS 5'2" / 29 months PO / CW 172.0 Lost 1 lb this week Since dec 7 I lost 14 lbs and 4.5 inches around my waist!!!!

Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability
Still wondering if last fast (20 hours) was the cause for my vomiting/diarrhea episode or if I had some sort of a bug. I guess will never know for sure
