I love IF. I'm back down to my published weight after this weekend's hedonistic bacchanalia. (Just sayin', Johan Sebastian...man everyone should party with that dude!)

Man, isn't the feeling of being in control amazing .... we can splurge and then turn it back around!

My religion has IF built into it. *smug grin*. Yeah, sure everyone knows about Ramadan, but did you know we're recommended to fast between dawn and sunset on Mondays, Thursdays, 13—15th of each lunar month and more if we're able. *smuggity smug face*

So does mine. We're Catholics. Every Friday. And extra during Lent and other Holy weeks. Ain't religion great?

@ ummyasmin , it must keep you "righteous", but I'm sure you do your best to remain a Flower of Islam. And I never thought Protestants got off THAT EASY! At any rate, Blessings on all that are reading this!😝👼🙏

Hey all you IF fans...I did it for a while pre-op during the time I was required to lose 10% of my body weight for insurance to cover my VSG. I'm only a few weeks post-op now. Is IF something you all would wait to start til after the healing process and onto regular foods 100%?

One of my twins came down with shingles the day before he was to start first grade (after getting the chickenpox vaccine.) He was soooo miserable. Hope you feel better soon, Matt!

Actually the Buddhists do too. I think. The monks stop eating after lunch if I remember correctly. Maybe the great traditions aren't so irrelevant in the modern age [emoji16]

I would wait a few months until you enter a good grove with food, have superb initial habits, no dependance on Protein supplements, can hydrated properly and most of all speak with your team about it.

Thanks... and WTH is this?? it looks like dirty silly putty (or Crazy Aaron's Thinking Putty) shaped to look like a flacid penis... quite unexpected at 6am LOL

[Matt Z 4,139]

AND today's shingles pain is worse than yesterday... AND I'm still stuck between 209 and 212 (211 today) so yay on all fronts.... *head hang*

Just.keep.swimming.

@Matt Z just my twisted humor, trying to make you laugh....

(My bored daughter at work actually created this 'work of art' and sent it to me. I spit my tea out laughing.... something about she tried to be ambidextrous and this was the result, told her she needed to try 'harder')
