I've had weightloss surgery, which for this post means little intake means little "output". That being said, when I talked to my Dr about the change in schedule, he flat out said, as long as I have at least 1 BM every 3 days that there was no cause for concern. If I went beyond that, to contact them and they'd tell me what…

I would say that is correct, but not correct. What's actually happening is you're burning more calories because your body is working diligently to repair those muscles you've damaged by working out.

The first two days are harder to manage calories. Don't eat/drink a ton of empty calories, just to meet a quota.

Jess, as someone who's also had weight loss surgery. I know all too well that the surgery is not a fix, or an easy out. It's a tool that you use to lose and manage your weight loss. While we both know that 20lbs is not the end of the world, it sure can seem like it. What you need to do is go back to the basics. Perhaps…

While i'm not a fan of chicken or egg or tuna salad, I did come up with a combination I can live with and is loaded with protein! I take 4 hard boild eggs (Diced) 1 can of chicken breast (drained) 1 tbs of Olive Oil Mayonaise 1 spoonful of sweet relish 1 tsp of mustard roasted red peppers chopped. mix it all together…
