  1. Thank you for the detailed reply! I use to do lazy keto, where I would replace carbs with meat, but the meat was processed. I would one day like to try bulletproof coffee, it seems so delicious.... Do you count macros and calories ? I have PCOS too, my blood sugar is all over the place sometimes and causes cravings.
  2. what does your healthy keto consist of ?
  3. This is me. I just spent the last 3 weeks eating whatever because I had started a new job. I have had deviations from my diet before but 3 weeks was the longest. I weighed myself today and didnt gained thank God, but still I wasted those 3 weeks. I am a slow loser too, but there are many things I dont do. Like I calorie count but I eat anything, I dont bother with macros or look into how much water I drink. I dont exercise and I dont take my supplements (eek!) Like , I keep thinking I wanna reach my goal sooner but I get lazy because of the effort involved.

    WLS & ADHD meds

    If I may ask, what made you notice you had ADHD as a adult ? I suspect I have the same thing.
  5. Hi I am preparing for post op diet (gastric bypass) and I am looking at protein powders / shakes. I know slim fast are rather tasty but I am worried the sugar in it might cause dumping syndrome. Is it best to avoid and try another protein powder? Thanks

    Why have I not lost any weight yet?

    I didnt lose weight the first two weeks after WLS, I think the body will retain fluids when its trying to recover from surgery. Your post op diet will give you a downward trend of weight loss, just wait a bit.
  7. This is also very true for me. Sometimes I will have grilled chicken kebab in the week and find more weight has shifted. I think its described as the 'woosh' effect, something to do with your metabolism adjusting.

    Big belly

    Its been roughly over 7 months since surgery and as I am leaning out I notice my belly protudes alot too. I think I will wait until a full year and see how 'bad' it actually is. But yeah , nothing wrong with getting plastic surgery.
  10. Keep up with the updates !
  11. mmm. I had these stressful interviews coming up and consequently spent 2 weeks eating badly. Like takeaways and chocolate etc. When I tried to go back to my healthy eating it was so difficult. It took a couple of days / a week to restrict myself but I managed to get back to it . I slowly reduced my portions and ate more protein. I felt terrible during this period and avoided weighing myself but I got through it. Give yourself time and you'll be back on track.

    Mental health deterioration.

    When I was post op, I remember having head hunger all the time. But after a while it definately gets better, just hold on. I hated pureed foods too so I went back to soups.
  13. I felt that way post op, then I got to the puree stage and everything grossed me out so had to resort to liquids again. Afterwards when I got to soft foods I felt ok again.

    Can I see some before and after pics?

    Everyone looking so great, very inspirational.
  15. I take gummie centrum multivitamins , calcium citrate hard tablets and iron tablets. I can only stomach the gummies the rest make me sick. So that results in me being inconsistent with taking them I think I am gonna go with patches, I have enough pills to take as it is.
  16. Ah, I hope to see my ribs someday. Good job!
  17. I wanted to ask this question too, as I love pizza and I think about it everyday. It seems people can eat it after 3 or 4 months??

    Boobs.... why are they coming back... ugh

    Estrogen levels have a direct effect on fat cell storage so...Thats all I know. Its difficult to know why fat cells are distributed the way are, hormonal or genetics. I do feel for you, I have a big bra size and after having lost roughly 30 pounds , it still feels the same size.
  19. Hi , I am a newbie still but I 'll share my input. Dont be depressed, you ve made alot of progress from what I can see in ur stats. My hair is thinning too at the middle parting and more hair falls out when I wash out. I am expecting it to get worse at some point so. I dont think we can do much but let it run its course . I havent stalled yet but my weight loss is a bit slow. So I am taking a more keto approach, having protein shakes and salads more. Keto might help you but general advice is to stick to your plan until the stall breaks.

    Shouldnt it be a eat often but little diet right? Usually these diets make you eat certain things that are suppose to do something , I could never get the hang of it. Let us know if it works.

    Feeling Happy

    I am happy WLS is working so well for you. I would like to lose weight quicker. Even when I eat small amounts the scale doesnt move much. So trying more of a keto approach of reducing my carbs. Replaced breakfast with a protein shake and lunch with a tuna salad. Heres hoping...
  22. wow thats pretty good.
  23. Thats sweet of you, likewise message me whenever you need to. Yeah I am not fond of the psychiatrist they allocated to me as they thought I wouldnt be able to lose and maintain weight because of my emotional status. I am not paying extra to see someone who doubts me like that.
  24. I have body dysmorphia disorder too. It caused complications with my psych evaluation. I hope the process goes smoothly for you, wish you well.
