Ok @redhead_che how are you doing now? Did the hunger pass?

The hunger is ever present....but it's in my head now. Keep thinking about all these awful things I can't have. And shouldn't have anyway.

Can you get up and do something different? Also, pound down about 8oz of Water or more. Drink till "filled almost", then sip sip sip to the full line. I know what it takes for me, but you have to learn it. We all do. So do that and keep full up with water. It takes all hunger from me when I do this?

I’ll be going back to my 16:8 I think. I need more practice. Or willpower. Or both. I caved. Good luck Fluff!

You did great! We've been doing this longer than you have, hon! Thanks for giving it a shot. How many hours did you go today? At some point you will feel ready to try it again. And also, it's much easier once you've been 16:8 for a while and also if you are low carb/keto. WTG girlie!!

Ok, I'm right at 36 hours this morning and I woke with thoughts of "Oh, maybe I'll just do a 36 hour fast..." But now I'm awake and logical and I didn't do a 36 hour fast just to cafe on autophagy now! My BG fasting is 82 this morning which is really good for me! Wooot! I still have fasting BGs in the mid to high 90s. Damn you PCOS and insulin resistance. So I'ma keep ridin' the wave, drinking mah black coffee and black green tea til the cows come home and I physically can't do it anymore. :D If there is even a whisper of a chance that autophagy will eat some of my handing batwings and thigh skin/tummy skin, color me the frick there!!! :) I'm your huckleberry.

On a bright note, I'm back to 149.4lbs so weekend bloat is gone and I am working my way back to the newest low today. I'm going to try to make it until 8pm tonight then break my fast with a cup of Bone Broth, then a eat a light regular dinner of green Soup in bone broth with shrimpies.

Had a 3 day "Stayaction" with the wife this past weekend for our 20th Anniversary (today) and my 40th Birthday (Thursday). I clocked 56 flights of stairs and 14.39 miles. I also did not IF, nor did I follow *any* diet other than "I can't eat any more" / "I'm full". I drank a decent amount and ate things I shouldn't. Actually had 1 episode of dumping, which sucked but... I was sort of thankful for, the fact that it's still there. The dumping came with the consumption of a large butternut donut. I drank beer, Japanese whiskey, Soju, Sake and some amazing mixed drinks. The hotel we stayed at had 3 bars, a upscale pseudo Japanese fusion restaurant http://www.foodbynorth.com/ . A really cool speakeasy inspired bar, behind a non-descript door and all that had some amazing cocktails and this awesome "Star wars" canteena sort of vibe (in that it was dark and lit with only candles and it had a earthy color pallet. Then there was the Japanese inspired Karaoke bar Boombox, with imported Snacks and booze. It was so cool to be able to eat and drink and not have to worry about anything other than a few flights of stairs.

Overall, I had a very good weekend. And I lost a little bit over the weekend to by some means of magic! I am having a hard time getting back into the swing of things again though, my stomach is NOT happy with me today.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      3. NickelChip

        I think it's important to remember that the weight charts and BMI ranges were developed a very long time ago and only intended to be applied to people who have never been overweight or obese. Those numbers aren't for us. When you are larger, especially for a long time, your body develops extra bone to support the weight. Your organs get a little bigger to handle the extra mass. Your entire infrastructure increases so you can support and function with the extra weight. That doesn't all go away just because you burn off the excess fat. If you still had a pair of jeans from your skinniest point in life and then lost weight to get to the exact number on the scale you were when those jeans fit you, chances are they would be a little baggy now because you would actually be thinner than you were, even though the scale and the BMI chart disagree. When in doubt, listen to the jeans, not the scale!

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
