Okay, so now I have a better understanding of how this can work and I am going to give it a try. I'm sort of accidentally already doing it, I think. LOL! I am working my way through this thread and will catch up with all of the iterations of IF plans, how everybody's doing and find a workable plan for me. Wish me luck!

Sweetie, come hang out and play for sure and do your reading. But I think 3months out is still too soon to add IF, IMHO. I think you need to be a minimum of 6 months out and MUST be able to eat ALL of your Protein with food and be getting a good amount of veg/nutrition from food. You do you, but I think anything less is kinda overkill. Let your surgery work for you as you work for it. :)

Nice! I will join you shortly!

And I think he got it from Amazon ❤

You know what's weird... I randomly started adding other teas to my Matcha for different flavor profiles but never even looked up health benefits of the combos...

:) Which ones are you adding together and how do they taste? Have you tried lemon or ginger with it?

I've been spending too much time reading about autophagy. I'm determined to reverse this tremor crap I have since chemo. And there are lots of teas that aid autophagy and are also supposed to support new stem cell growth and longevity. I tell ya, I'm falling down the rabbit hole more and more. Pretty soon I'm turning vegan, sporting a black mustache and looking like Valter Longo. LOL. ;)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
