Like a soft cross between a mild black tea with slightly fruity peppery spicey notes and chamomile.

Best i could come up with 😂😂😂😂

Dang. I was so excited about it and the benefits of it...especially to skin. Then I got to the "estrogenic effects" part which totally fucks me for hormone positive bc. Because of the AI I'm on, I have to keep the load down.

OK, this is heavy heavy stuff about doing the headwork. This guy, Dr. Cywes, is a bariatric surgeon and he has a pretty unique approach to nutrition and reward systems.

I swear a big piece of the puzzle fell into place for me today. It's well worth the investment of time!

Holding steady at 157 during Hell Week y'all

This may be maintenance !

WTG girlie! Do you gain an average amount each month? I remember I could gain 3-8lbs in a month with it! Then I would lose it afterward :( Plays with your head for sure!! Way to contain it! What's your secret? What did you do differently?

Yes i think im really somewhere between 154-157 and this is the bouncing around. No clue anymore... I did go all the way down to 150 at one point last month and did not like it one bit. I need it artificially done. Sucked out of specific places 😂😂😂

So I've decided if I lose anymore it cant come so quickly or from my face or twins...

Meanwhile, somewhere down the track on the crazy train (Ozzy's here...he wants sex...)

I'm enjoying an autophatea of my own making: Matcha + powdered ginger (need a fresh finger) + ground turmeric

Really interesting talk as I sit here with a glass of wine! 😂

I do take exception to his comment that no mammals are built to live off carbohydrates. Ok, yes, there is some nutritional value in grass, fruit, et al, but cows (not on feedlots) and horses only eat plants, which are carbohydrates. C'mon!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
