Diet after goal

>gastric bypass

I know there are variations to the surgery, but I know people who have had it done and still gained back the weight.  It seems to take longer, two years to stretch out what's left of their digestive system and then it's back to the normal bounce back.  This time with an even more damaged metabolism.

I forgot to add that Tim Ferriss and others said they felt terrible while fasting until they added some salt intake. Bullion cube in hot water to make broth, or an electrolyte tab in some water, etc...

Rumbas is awfully quiet. I've been scanning the DK press --no mass murders in Copenhagen (yet).

Goddamn.

Took it for around 50 hours and it was tough! The first 24 hours was pure hell; headache, stommach growling like crazy and a heart rate a lot higher than normal.
Then it kind of settled and became a lot easier - even though I had some moments where I thought screw this and REALLY craved some carbs (fries, chips you name it) but I kept pushing and only did water.
I stayed away from coffee almost entirely (1 cup) as I know my system is not dealing great with coffee on a empty stommach.

Around the 40 hour mark "disaster pants" set in and I.. well shit my pants. Doing some research, diarrhea seems pretty normal as the body supposedly gets rid of some "toxis". I have a hard time buying into the toxins stuff though, but makes sense that the digestive system only has water to work with.

It seemed like my focus was a bit sharper, but not sure about that. I was kind of pissed the whole time and not really fun to be around.

The headache is probably due to several things; no coffee (I drink 8-10 cups a day), not enough water and as Trav mentioned above, no salt. However I read an article from a doc where he basically said that ANYTHING but coffee and water will break your fast. If it has 1 calorie in it you start over.

My hunger is down a LOT today ( I did a light dinner with a lof greens and some chicken) and a bun/roll with cheese and turkey before going to bed. I'm planning on playing around with Intermitten Fasting and haven't eaten today yet. REALLY looking forward to dinner tonight!

Today I feel pretty good, a slight headache, but drinking a lot of water and coffee is helping too. My (mild) psoriasis is improving as well.

It's absolutely something I'm doing again soon.

Oh and the scale went from 101,9 kg to 98,2 kg (224,7 lbs to 216.5)

I *think* Louise did 100 hours once or twice. But the hell of fasting for long periods makes her reluctant to do it again, so I notice her procrastinating longer & longer between starting. I sure can't blame her, I won't even try to fast^{innocents would die}. The fast-mimicking diet seems to be significantly easier, but it's still not fun.

That's quite a journey in 50 hours, Rumbas!

Rumbas!  That was quite an ordeal.  If you do it again I think you should sort out the caffeine situation, going from 8-10 cups a day down to just one in 50 hours would be enough to cause anyone to feel terrible.  Those headaches from going without caffeine are hell.

Nice work, Raz. Good job pushing through, that stuff sucks.
