As someone who has had WLS, you don't know until you know. When I knew, I never turned back. But I weighed 400 pounds, not 225 and had co-morbidities working against me. I'm sure no one here remembers me but I used to spend a lot of time on these boards in 2016/17. I lost 140 pounds "the natural way". That was the second…

My diary is public. Please feel free to look back and see what it's actually like. October 28th is when I started my dietician supervised diet. I started my pre-op liquid diet December 10th. Surgery December 24th. Currently 7 weeks post op. Edited for incorrect date

I find Reddit to have the best carnivore community. R/carnivorediet and r/zerocarb

I started seeing a podiatrist last fall. His top recommendations are Brooks and New Balance. I went with the New Balance 1540 and it is not an exaggeration when I say they changed my life. [edit] I should add I am not a man but the recommendation works regardless of gender. I'm also heavy and blow through shoes quickly.

I don't know if it's changed in the last couple years but I found Connect to be really toxic. I moved over here and let my membership go in 2016. In the last year or so I've found a lot of value in WOE specific Facebook groups and Instagram.

:o Do you.... like the paper? I wouldn't be willing to risk it. Moms are usually right.

I started with around 225 pounds to lose. I've lost 140 of that so far.

Breakfast for the week is 100g cucumber, 113g cottage cheese and two hard boiled eggs. Lunch is 5oz boneless skinless chicken tenderloins, 100g green beans roasted in coconut oil and black olives. Dinner varies every night but this week will be either turkey or fish.

All week I've had an egg muffin with mushrooms, spinach and onions with cottage cheese.

I hired a personal trainer for six - one hour sessions. It got me used to being there without feeling uncomfortable and taught me enough of a foundation to be able to go by myself. It was well worth the investment.

No. Meal timing is personal preference

I did a batch of 12 in the Crock-Pot and ate them for a week. I thought it was awesome

Sounds good. I love mayo

Sometimes I eat once a day, sometimes four. Mostly two or three. I just do what feels right that particular day

The only recipe I need for eggplant is patience because it takes a long *kitten* time to cook

If it makes you feel like that, stop doing it

The past week? Everything. Normally? Almonds.

I love cumin

That sounds absolutely terrifying. Bariatric surgery isn't something you just do over a weekend.

Well, I thought my first Home Chef delivery was today so I was going to make the steak. Turns out it's next Tuesday so I just ate tortilla chips and mini kit kats.

My siblings and I, in order, oldest to youngest: Brother 5'11" Brother 5'11" Sister 5'6" Sister 5'4" Me 5'10" Sister 5'4" Same parents. Same food. Dad 5'8" Mom 5'7"

I signed up for a week of Hello Fresh, Blue Apron and Home Chef. I had 50% off each so I plan on giving them a shot. If I find one earth shatteringly amazing, I'll probably continue with it. I get my first delivery tomorrow.

Popcorn and veggie straws

Exactly what I would do

Ooh, I'm not vegan but I do make vegan mac and cheese. I love it

That happens to me on the app. Then I'll come back later and have six entries of the same thing. Hah

Over 200 easily

I am currently eating Arctic Zero in Cookie Shake flavor. For 150 calories a pint I give it an A+

Did I miss the question that this is an answer to?
