Ok, what a difference a day makes! I think I figured some of the massive food volume out! And I opted on FMD Day 2 lunch (fasting 18:6) to go with a green drink that I blend/pulverize rather than juice--so it has all the Fiber + some more. :) TY psyllium husks. It was very tart and savory. I even added a splash of ACV to it along with a shake of garlic, pepper, and cayenne. Dang. Gonna maybe have the same thing on Thursday--it was that good!

I also made a side dish cuz I needed more Protein. Just quick broccoli tossed with sesame dressing and some walnuts. I'm full y'all! But feel very energetic and ready to run!

I did have some leg/ankle swelling last night and weight was up this morning along with BP, so that tells me that the boxed broth is not my friend. I did it so I would know quantities, but clearly I can't handle a 500mg hit of sodium per cup. :( It'll come back off, but I was hoping to drop overnight with a Water drop...not. (My Veggie Boy is ugly as baby poop!)

Here's the yummy broccoli:

And here are the ingredients/quantities. The broccoli and walnuts are the last 3 items on the list.

Hi Fluffy... your body is so sensitive! It is so frustrating... I’m the same with sodium... I will start posting my food stats as I think seeing yours is really helpful ... and will help me understand what I can change to get back into weight loss... the only thing I have been reluctant to give up is my evening mug of 38cal hot chocolate... just 38 measly calories and I shall be gutted if that is preventing my weight loss!! I have nothing else that looks like the culprit... I feel like I’m in a frigging nunnery on bread and Water only it’s meat and water...

Ugh, it sucks to be sensitive to sodium. My PCP said he thought that is part of my issues. Sorry to hear that you are also sensitive to it! Gah! For me, posting is a must (at least in MFP), but I always thought a daily menu thread could be so helpful to most of us--like they do on another forum.

I can't imagine that your 38cal hot choco is the culprit. But maybe you could try ditchin' it for a week to see? Maybe replace it with a nightly cup of camomille tea? ((hugs)) So glad to see you here again. I've been worried about you!!

I’m insanely busy at work.. I butcher employees for a living (not really but I have to keep them in line or fire them and I’m not great at it) so I work long hours and get stupidly stressed and have to manage a barking mad chairman diagnosed as a psychopath- so maybe stress levels come into this... my afib is trying to settle down and my prolapse disc and surrounding area is just very creaky as it heals... where’s the best place to post MFP daily meal stats as I would dearly love to get input but I don’t want to hog the forum 😊

Wow. Stress city. I can't even imagine the stress involved with having a psychopath for a boss. Or the stress of hiring/firing the minions! :( No wonder you have A-fib. I hope you're able to destress at night so you can heal. Sounds like you need a meditation/prayer component in your day?

I would say maybe make a Daily Menu thread either in the Lounge or in the Post Op Nutrition Area? Probably more would participate in the Lounge though?

I don't know how you do it from your phone? I do a screen capture on my computer screen, but it's a desktop. I know Tea knows how to do it though!!!

Thanks GT ... I will go explore... good news ... my heart is racing at the moment in afib (160bpm) and that’s when I have to pee a lot so maybe I’ll drop a micro-pound by the morning!! 🤞

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
