Congratulations on your great wt loss. keep up the good work regardless of the Dr.
I have a hard time eating yogurt, meat and breads. I still love my hot and sour soup though!
Good luck!
I also fear the carb lol, however, eaten in small doses at different intervals during the day they are okay and I don't crave them that way. I always try to choose the "better" carbs and not give myself a guilt trip for it because your body needs some carbohydrate. As long as you don't eat excessively and still get your protein in that your doctor recommended you should be fine. As far as cravings go....I would somehow try to get in more than 1 meal a day, eating 2-3 times daily will help with the cravings simply because your body will feel more satisfied if you are giving it the good stuff it needs to get through the day.
On my last appointment with my NUT she told me to incorporate Whole Grain and Wheat carbs into my diet. I can tolerate all foods that I have tried post-op and this scares me a bit because I was hoping that sweets and carbs (my two weaknesses pre-op) would be some of the foods I couldn't eat.
Anyways, I have incorporated the whole carbs and I noticed that my carb cravings have increased substantially. To make matters worse, I find myself eating once a day-everyday. Sure I load the whole wheat crackers and Arnold's Thins with protein, but they are still carbs and I can't help feeling like my mind is playing tricks on me. It's almost like I'm feeling guilty for eating them and I don't like it!
So I ask myself: "Self, have you developed Carbophobia or do you have a legit reason to worry here?".
I don't know that answer and so I turn to you my fellow seasoned RNYers...Has anyone gone through this and turned out OK at the end of their "honeymoon" stage? Am I just being paranoid about this? Give me your advice.
Thanks,
Rose

As for eating.... I just returned from a week long caribbean cruise, had my first alcohol, and ate a sugar free dessert each night and still lost weight. Back to reality today and still proud of myself for the good choices I did make while away. Indulgence in small amounts is good for you as long as you keep it to a once in a while indulgence.
