Is it still considered a fast day if you have 800 calories, not 500? v_v I was fine and good all the way until dinnertime, I really wanted salad, but I knew that if I went to the DIFAC to get some salad, that I would not be able to get out of there without also getting high fat dressing and a portion of dinner. I had about 1/3 cup beef vegetable stew with about 1/4 cup rice, salad with caesar dressing, and a green apple for dessert. This brought my cal count to 800 for the day. So, I guess I failed another fast day v_v

GT I think that 800 is still a fast no matter which way you look at it bc it's a lot less than you usually eat....:)

Hope your feeling better Georgia and you keep you loss tomorrow. :)

Laura good job fighting the head hunger. :P

Coops I am amazed you went all day without eating.... :P

For me, I gave in due to a lot of stressors. I know it's a cope out but will do better on my next fast day. :P I'm still down to my high bounce which makes me happy. I will be getting in a lot of physical exercises this weekend.... :P

Oh holy CRAP. WTF is wrong with me today?! I started on a fast day today and was starving, but muddled through with my usual water/coffee/tea combo, then had two boiled eggs for late lunch, cos I find that satisfying enough normally to get me through. So I just went up to the work kitchen to get another drink and there are these chocolates there, a local brand I really like. But I can normally pass them up, I can normally pass ANYTHING up on a fast day. BUT I TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, I STOOD THERE AND ATE ***SIX*** OF THOSE CHOCOLATES.

Seriously, WHAT?!? Now I'm feeling a bit sick and a bit lame. <_<

Unexpected guests arrived yesterday (they phoned Monday to arrange) and are staying until Friday. They do not know about op so it looks like my fast days are going to be restricted - if they happen at all. Guess My aim will be not to put any on this week and if I achieve that I should be happy. That's life though full of little surprises.

I posted this in "fast day" last night but I think people are not really using that thread anymore.

So here it is again!

Interesting fast day.. I had a really bad day yesterday, that keeps trying to spill over into today. I get it people some of you hate me!

Well last night I ate out of frustration, not hunger and well after 7pm. When I got up this morning I said no way no flipping fast today. And I was starving! But I am unhappy and I know it would make me more unhappy, so fasting I did.

After 12:30 or so the hunger left me I didn't eat until tonight. Total calories 337. I don't anticipate weight loss from today though because of stress and lack of Water the last two days..

Here is an idea for next time. (and you know there will be an next time) Take two chocolates, wrap them up and put them in your desk. Save them for tomorrow, because on this plan you can do that!

I get it people some of you hate me!

What? Did I miss some horrible thing you did? ;)

FINALLY home from vacation up to visit my mom and extended family. I did NOT plan to fast today but I have had nothing to eat at all. I woke up feeling out-of-sorts, did NOT sleep well and basically had some coffee. Nothing sounded good, and then had about a 3.5 hour drive home. Girls slept most of the way, we didn't stop and the "snacks" were in the back with the girls. Will plan to eat something later tonight, but still nothing really even sounds good.

Nice unexpected day to fast. Love it when that happens. :)

end of my 'feed day', next fast is Fri this week. Been just ok today - did have bread and no nasty reaction...lol... always a worry! No real want of a meal, so a few Snacks through the day and then Curves which, I enjoyed. I had to make myself go 'cos I was feeling lethargic and not in the mood. Glad I went now though.

My kids are home from their holiday with my parents... So I have just over a week to get the four of us sorted before we go away. Gonna be a busy time, but the thought of two weeks with not much to do but relax and spend time with my family makes it worth while.

Not feeling optimistic for a good scale reading in the morning... looks like I have a new bounce range of 160 - 164, but you know me... I will keep on keeping on!

Hope everyone else is doing well... hugs!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
