Hi ya'll it's been a while since I have been on here.
Fast forward -- I had VSG down in 1/14 lost the majority of the weight in the first 8 months. My highest weight was 320 and after VSG got down to 175ish. I had a tummy tuck and breast lift done August 2016 and since then life has gotten in the way. I lost both my parents which put me in a downward spiral.
I currently weigh 218 and determined to get back to 175 or even smaller. I have decided to do a liquid fast containing broth, sugar free jello, sugar popsicle etc etc.
I would love to have some others that are in the same boat do this with me and see what we can accomplish!!
What did your,diet consist of for these past 5 months? Nice job!
I have had 20grams of protein today, which used around 400 calories.
What can I eat in order to get at least 40 more grams of protein in under 800 calories?
I am a vegetarian (no meat or seafood) so my options are limited...
you could eat 400 more calories of wa
hat you have already eaten. That would work.
As I am learning about Keto I see there are a few different types referred to such as "strict Keto" and "Lazy Keto" Do you follow one or the other? Do you count calories as well? I entered my info into my macro's and it put me at about 1200 calories per day and 20 carbs. Is this a similar plan to what you follow?
Paleo isn't particularly high in fat - that's Keto. But, I don't recommend "doing" Paleo, just using Paleo resources to find recipes :)

One of my friends, and also a neighborhood person do the paleo. It seems very effective for them. I am probably not going that route. I am approaching 66 (they are in their early 40's) and I have had so many health issues that I've found I have to be moderate.
But they have some tasty recipes for high protein, low carb. I just have to watch the fat :) Thanks

I saw her "pizza porn" section, and I'm going to try one slice...

Yes. I've added some almonds, and some days 2 tsp (not TB) of peanut butter. It helps. Thank you!

My sentiment exactly. He referred multiple times to surgery as "stupid" and "unnecessary", and that we were "duped", and then denied it as part of a response to me earlier. In reality, he didn't take off HIS blinders to read what most of us are saying. I have tried the IF method, extensively, and for a while, it works but is not in my experience and observation (not just with my own life) a sustainable choice. Even WLS isn't sustainable unless we work the process as designed.
I attended the classes with the same fear and skepticism he did. I researched extensively, and like a lot of us here, opted "in" on the process, knowing the future requirements. He didn't. Simple as that. It doesn't make us wrong for choosing it.
His delivery and demeanor was however, very wrong in my opinion. At any rate, I wish him luck.

Wishing you the best of luck.
With your "holier than thou, know it all" attitude you need all the luck you can get.
