Hello,

So I had SADI on 12/27, I am down 30 lbs. Am I on target with WL or should I have lost more? My surgeon said she doesn't like to put WL goals on her patients bc the point is to be healthy. I feel so much better. I am technically 50lbs down from when I started program. But, I keep hearing from folks that I should be lower (of course people that have never had surgery and just have opinions)

It?s great that you?re seeking ways to improve your mental and emotional wellness. Consider mindfulness practices like meditation or yoga, as they can help reduce anxiety and encourage positive habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques can also be beneficial for managing bad habits. Additionally, exploring herbal supplements such as ashwagandha or magnesium (with professional guidance) might complement your journey. Remember, patience and consistency are key!

Topic: RE: Good video on dieting from Royal Institute

Giles Yeo is fantastic at breaking down complex topics into something easy to digest (pun intended). I've noticed the same thing with diets--no matter the approach, higher protein and fiber seem to be the common denominator for making them work. It's interesting how simple tweaks like focusing on those can lead to better results without over-complicating things.

If you're thinking of sharing talks like this or creating your own breakdowns on YouTube, good editing can make your videos stand out. Here's a list of free video editing software that might come in handy: https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/free-video-editing-so ftware.html. Would love to hear more of your takeaways from the talk!
