A thread for Maintainers to share our daily menus!

(This thread is a spin-off from another thread I started that was open to all people at different stages. Meant to start this one specifically for Maintainers a while back, but am just now getting around to it )

Same format applies: To help keep things in perspective for everyone, let's try to note our height & weight (or BMI), gender, weight-status & how far out we are post-op (unless this is already stated in your side profile )

Post as little or as much info as you want. If you track macros, feel free to share your Protein, fat, & carb details...if all you feel like saying is you had a really yummy taco, that's cool too.

Poop fairies came just in time to relive me of my bloated-ness so I went ahead and got some movie popcorn!

However.

The Kid snuck in some caramel coated popcorn which I figured I could eat..NOPE. I had about maybe 2 handfuls and the poop fairies came back with vengeance 30-40 minutes later. I was diarrhea-ing in a PUBLIC BATHROOM and my attempts to be quiet about it were for naught. OMG so embarrassing. Needless to say I missed about 1/2 a hour of the movie. It was Little Women, so I knew what happens, but still. Shoulda just stuck with the regular popcorn. Boo.

Sadly, yes it was crowded. My stomach was gurgling like a volcano and I was letting out lotsa farts before the trip to the toilet, but the movie audio was pretty loud, and the Kid said she didn't hear any noises coming from me But the washroom was cavernous and had an echo effect. Yikes.

Today was just not my day started out as a fast. Felt great throughout the fast no cravings I ate the following after 18 hour fast

6:00- coffee with milk

6:30 blended zucchini soup

7:00- keto cookie

8:00- 2 oz salmon

8:30- protien bar and soup broth

Here's where it all went wrong TMI ALERT: I started feeling sick and projectile vomited for 10 min straight. I briefly felt better, than started getting terrible cramps which led to a massive bathroom explosion [emoji90] !!!

Not sure what caused this as I am thankfully feeling loads better now. Was it the fasting? Or something I ate? I doubt it's a bug since i feel better so fast. I'm now scared to try another fast.
Anyways this is my totals though I probably had less from all the vomiting

Not an expert at all. But my first thought is that was a lot of food in quick succession. Maybe just too much for your stomach to process after a little shrinkage from fasting?
