The first video literally said the only thing that matters is limiting your eating window. I mean in my fantasy world I'd love to be able to eat recklessly even if only for limited number of hours. But unfortunately that's not the real world.

You mean 4 straight hours of hot fudge sundaes isn't healthy? Damn! I thought I had it figured out! Guess I'll just throw myself out of my 4-hour window!

I find counting everything is s much easier these days with apps like My Fitness Pal. :)

But counting macros is just a different way of counting calories, since each gram has a fixed caloric value.

Do you think they mean for people who have not had metabolic surgeries? I've seen people like that do it without counting cals, just eating until satisfied,(they may eat differently then obese or once upon a time obese people) their metabolisms handled it well. IDK, what do y'all think?

What are y'alls thoughts on this?

Honestly, my first thought was "Did she have an allergic reaction to the tattoo?"

I had a hungry day yesterday, so I didn't do IF. But at least everything I ate was smart choices, so I'm ok with that. We'll see if my hunger monster is awake today, if it has taken the day off I'll do IF today.

@GreenTealael I'm super impressed you can fast on a travel day. My travel days are planes and airports and all the food available gets to me, every time.

I'm too lazy to try to find a decent food and clean bathroom where I'll be... If I eat , I'll need to use the bathroom shortly after. Lol, I'll eat tomorrow.

I'm in NYC, the struggle is real...

Oh yeah, for sure! When I would go up to the city for sales, I was always in fear of not finding a potty while I was schlepping down the street!

But ... all those fluids!?! :o

I almost never get my fluids in on travel days because of lack of bathroom access fear. Almost wetting your pants in an airplane seat once will do that to you! :lol:

Maybe it's just their metabolism? I mean we all know skinny people who eat like absolute crap?

So as a traveler ... McDonalds and Starbucks taking over the world has one benefit .... bathrooms!

I actually had to tell the flight attendant I was pregnant. Thank goodness I hadn't had any drinks that flight, or CPS would have been waiting for me at the gate. :lol:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
