We are both chef's and my family owns restaurants. UGH!! CURSE YOU CLEAR LIQUIDS!!! Lol that's all.. Rant over.. (As I stay locked in my room until I hear the dishwasher from Breakfast plates)

Its difficult at times and then other times it is easy to pass up the things we once loved. My taste has changed soooooo much. The things I once loved do not even appeal to me and if they do, I taste them and say "I don't even like this anymore".. its strange - but a good thing I guess. Are you still on liquid?

I was 6 days post op on July 4th.... My husband cooked ribs, burgers, hot dogs and corn on the grill. The smell was overwhelming and you couldnt go anywhere without smelling it. I was on liquids. I went upstairs and tried to take a nap! That was not fun! But I made it. So I can relate!

Congratulations on the sleep and I'm jealous of the sleeping in!

Wow. I've read about a lot of folks facing a lot of different challenges but yours has to rank right up near the top - two chefs and a family that owns restaurants. But I've gotta tell you - probably the single biggest surprise that I've had with this whole journey is discovering that there is a lot, a LOT, of food out there that is rich in Protein, low in calories, and absolutely delicious! To this day I am amazed and constantly adding to my spreadsheet of great foods that meet all of those criteria. Does your family's restaurants offer healthy menu alternatives?

Wow! The first part is great. Especially the sleeping in part. Honestly I cannot remember a time that I went to bed before 10pm and woke up later than 5-6am. Seriously congrats. Go buy them kids something! lol The second part is really difficult and I can relate. No one in my house is watching what they eat, so they eat all kinds of stuff that even at 13 weeks I CHOOSE not to eat. I started this journey to see it through til the end and that is what I plan to do. It is not easy sometimes and I struggle, but so far I have made it. That is all that matters.

It's hard. Im still in liquids and my uncle just had a BBQ with his amazing smoked ribs. It I just temporary and we will get through it. This could be a cool chance to expand the menu in the restaurant if you don't have many low carb high Protein options (while giving you yummy things to have at work)!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
