Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability

Thanks! So basically, as Tea and silly do, you eat when you're hungry?

You've seen my pics of food here, I'm assuming? On your meals, do you eat less than I do? I can finish most of those meals. I would really like to get back to being satisfied by smaller quantities and I don't quite know how to accomplish that since I refuse to do only Protein Drinks for 2-3 days. LOL.

Sorta, I have a "light" time line that I follow during the week just because of work and all. But I do only eat when I need to.

Today:
Woke up at 0450
0515 coffee with a splash of fat free milk and a splash of sugar free sweetener/creamer - unknown, 50 calories maybe?

0800 1 Larabar - 200 calories
1030 1 bag of Kay's Protein Kruncheeze chips - 130 calories

That's it thus far, I'll try to remember to update as I go along.

Thanks so much!!

Yeah it sucks getting up so early. I usually get up between 4 and 5:30 to start the day. And I'm generally fine until 11:30 (14hour fast) with just black coffee--although, I miss my PP "creamer" in my coffee hellerbad. LOL.

Do you Protein bars/snack fill you up? And about when do you stop eating at night?

LOL. 20 Questions. Thanks for playing!

Oh and one more--are you animal, vegetable, or mineral?

bahahahahahaaha:lol:

The bars to fill me up and keep me going for quite a while. Some more than others.

Right now with the 8-6 fast I eat between 8am and 6pm. I have "cheated" a bit after 6, but I do my best to avoid it at all costs. Otherwise beforehand on a typical work day I would go to bed between 8-10, so I'd stop sometime before that.

Do you blend them together or what?

You gave me such a flashback with Jesus, Mary and Joseph. My grandmother always said that. :)

Hahaha! Sorry I missed this! I just stir everything except the blueberries and the WF Syrup together with a spoon. Then I add the frozen berries and drizzle the syrup over it. :) I'm hoping to post yesterdays pics of it. :)

IKR! My RD was so upset at our last meeting that I'm still between 500-750 calories per day. She wants me up around 1200. And I'm like, in what universe? I eat all of these meals and seriously don't even want to think about food between them--for the most part. Some days I have these munchie days where I only want munchie stuff and that's when I could literally graze all day. But like yesterday, I really only fixed lunch cuz I was trying to meet Protein goals.

So when I showed her pics of my plates and told her how concerned I was about how much I could eat at a meal, she relaxed and said I was doing fine. LOL. Weird. Huh?

I haven't done bars since I have a whey intolerance. But I'm about to receive a metric ton from Bariatric Pal, so we'll see.

But I do eat Kay's Crispy Parmesan Protein chips (super cheap on Amazon), and I find them very filling and satisfying. I've never eaten more than a half a bag at a time. I don't feel my restriction, but I feel full, if that makes sense.

Yesterday I managed to do IF. That is a bright spot, because I ate crap and didn't get Protein, fluids, or supplements in. All my eating was within a 6 hr window though!

No IF for me today. Had Breakfast (that's what I'm calling the chimichanga :blush:), that was especially early, since I was in another time zone. And I have dinner plans tonight, so that is going to be about a 15-16 hr window. I should be able to do protein, fluids and supplements though.

I'm still fasting, currently drinking tea w/ stevia and light cream (modified IF)

I may be getting lazy so I'm going to actually eat real meals later to prove I do... Stay tuned

This actually does happen. :)

I'm just now eating my first meal--PB&J "yogurt" with SF Hershey's chocolate Syrup. ROFLMAO! Yep yep, better living through chemistry. I have a salmon salad planned for lunch and I'm like, "Fork! I don't wanna go make it, I don't wanna eat it...maybe when I get hungry later, I'll just go grab a couple of ounces of leftover salmon and call it done." :)

Oh no, your meals are just so pretty ....

At least do better than I do :P (And this is fancy, I only used plates for the pics!)

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
