Hahahaha! Am about to have a "cuppa" of golden Matcha latte! :) Gotta go schlep in the house! :) Have I told you, thanks for starting the IF stuff?!!! I honestly heart it. I HEART it! :)

I wish I could take credit for it's discovery (LOL, I could write med journal or two) i just stumbled on it one night, because I want to live forever... but I do wish the VETS that are doing it would chime in more often...

So day 1 failed xD I ended up having a dinner at 7pm because I was so darn hungry. My caloric intake ended up being 582 I believe.

So today, I switched it up to having eating hours between 11am-7pm so I can have a real dinner. And also not look like a weirdo to my mother who will be staying with me this weekend (lordhelpme). Being without food for a few hours in the morning really wasn't that bad, so I'm curious to see how the rest of the day goes. I know a grocery run is in my future. My meals today are consisting of Fiber Cereal, 2 Protein Shakes, and tuna with a little light mayo 😐 Protein goal is for sure met. Variety goal...not so much.

My sleeve doesn't tolerate many veggies. Tomato goes down ok. Asparagus did at one point. But no spinach, no lettuce, nothing leafy is tolerated. And I don't find much nutrition in veggies like corn or peas or whatnot :P

It took me quite a while to have lettuce again. Interestingly, I still don't eat much lettuce. I do have some but every day at work for lunch, I go to the salad bar and make a "salad" but it never includes lettuce! I use cucumbers, green and red peppers, red onions, sometimes a small piece of artichoke, but rarely lettuce. (I also have grilled chicken on it). I avoid corn and peas as much as possible since they are starchier though I do have a lot of carrots and celery with hummus.

I used to do this at the salad bar too! Mine would be more Protein heavy like diced ham, grilled chicken, hardboiled egg pieces, etc. But that's a good idea to load up on veggies like peppers. Cucumbers I haven't had good luck with. But it's always worth trying again.

@FluffyChix they were honey crisp apples!

I can't do much lettuce either, wilted spinach is okay. Cukes, radishes, Tomato, green Beans, etc all are ok.

Uh..have had a virus for 8 days now, no puking, no sore throat/coughing, just bone tired, fever/chills/sweats..

Turkey burger, cheese, tomato

Well that was fast....hit goal today—127! Now with fasting I’m aiming towards maybe 124, just to see what I can make of this! Healthy BMI chart says I can weigh a healthy 115-158 or something, so I might just put this fasting to the test!. With the new 11-7 hours it’s A LOT more manageable. Who knew dinner was so mentally important to me? 😂

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
