The Beauty Of Intermittent Fasting With WLS

May 16, 2013

I haven't updated in a few weeks, as life has been busy.  My grandfather passed away, and I traveled to Texas, then to Arkansas for his final resting spot.  He was such a brilliant man.  He has several patents in the oilfield and was able to revolutionize the way drilling was done in the early 70's.  I will miss him.  He had a long productive life, all anyone can ask for. 

When I found out that my grandfather was going to be placed in hospice, and during the week long trip, I ate horribly.  I also get very constipated when I travel.  So, I was up on the scale a bit before I left, at 175.6, but up even more when I got back home, at 182.3!!  Yikes!!  Almost a 10 pound gain from my last post!

I am happy to report that I started my IF and Primal eating this week and I am already down to 173.2!  Yay!!  I am sooooooo hoping to see the 160's by next week.  If I could get down to the low 160's for my appointment with Dr. Acosta on June 21st, I will be ecstatic!

Even though IF seems to be working for me, very well, I realize it's not for everyone.  I can't even imagine doing this without having my sleeve or some other type of WLS as a tool.  I do get hungry with my sleeve, unfortunately.  However, I know my hunger is much lower than it would be without it. So, if anyone has regain or slow weight loss, it might be worth looking in to.

My eating has been pretty good this week.  I even made a homemade pizza with cauliflower crust.  I have to say it was DELICIOUS but a pain in the butt to make.  Not sure we will have it very often!  ha ha

Hope everyone is FINALLY getting some spring and warm weather....have a great rest of the week!
