Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability

  • Popular Post

Hey y'all! Anyone and everyone is welcome to jump in and join us.

This is the Intermittent Fasting DAily Menu/Results/Accountability Thread. It's where a few of us (or many) are going to log in and encourage each other while we experiment with our own IF plans. You can list or talk about anything--not just your food. I look forward to adding in HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and core exercises to my walking plan while practicing IF. So expect to hear about that too. ;) hehe I expect some of us will talk about the known IF side-effects like insomnia, circadian rhythm disturbance, etc. It's all good! Let's hack this IF mofo! mkay? :D

There is not any 1 specific IF plan--there are so many to choose from, so this is a BYOIFP (bring-your-own-IF-plan) and join the fun! This is the thread where we'll post our daily menus and maybe some piccys at times! We can discuss progress, issues we might notice, look at how we may want to refine our own personal plans. I do think you should be healed from surgery and have your doctor's and RD's blessings to try something like this and you should do a ton of research and reading about Intermittent Fasting.

IF isn't only about weight loss, it's about taking specific measures to limit either quantities, calories, macros, or sometimes only consciously altering eating windows/schedules in order to effect metabolic change and reduce inflammation and improve health markers.

Ok, let's do this thang!!!

  • Ok, I'll start this. I'm about 6 1/2 months out from RNY surgery. I'm down 123.6lbs from my most recent high weight of 287lbs as of last May 5, 2017. You can see my stats in the signature panel and on

Hey, if they can't love the whole you, faults and all, they're not the one. Just telling the truth!

And not very well since one of my incisions is still open. Maybe some tequila would sterilize/cauterize it? Nurse told me today I can try pouring peroxide into it to dry it out

This information has been out for quite a few years.....using hydrogen peroxide actually damages the tissue and delays the healing so I would advise against it. Sorry but I figured you would want to know...nurse Ratched always on duty??

Maybe they just want to shut me up. Apparently, to medical personnel, having a hole in you really isn't a big deal. But, I can testify, to an accountant, it's downright freaky!

That's why I loved this Domoboro solution.

It promotes healing from the inside out. My radiation ulcer was about 1/2inch deep and about 2 inches wide. And the radiologist who prescribed this said that by using this according to the instructions that it would actually help it heal.

((hugs)) Sorry you're having to deal with this. IT would be scary larry to me too! :(

Might check these out myself!

Well, hello, everyone on this thread is pretty close to perfect. If something goes wrong, it's clearly not our fault! :P

Awfully quiet in here ....

@FluffyChix How was the fast? How were the tests?

I've been swamped with work, ugh! I'm traveling again this week today, and then most of next week. It's this kinda sh*t that kept me from my ps this fall! :( Don't people know it's supposed to be quiet between mid November to mid January??

But in good news. So far so good on the eat whatever the h*ll I want, but skip breakfast and call it IF plan. I was down to a new low of 139.4 yesterday, and up to 140 this morning. I will totally take that!

On the dating topic .... I did something a out of character, and it paid off. Last week not a boyfriend and I were discussing when we would get together, schedules, etc. He mentioned he had an Xmas party, wasn't sure if he was going to go, how to fit it all in with seeing me. I uncharacteristically told him, that I'd love to go to the party with him. He said that was a good idea, but was noncommittal. The next morning, I mentioned again I'd like to go with him, and he said great, let's go, I'll RSVP today. So we went, had a great time, and he thanked ME for going with him. I always try hard to not be too pushy, overstep boundaries etc. So I definitely went out on a limb, telling him twice that I wanted to go. I think I get too much in my head about how I want to be perceived. It's nice to be able to be myself. :)
