Do you eat carbs?YES, I need to have that 2nd protein instead of this. I'm a snacker by nature. Do you eat things you shouldnt?crackers and not healthy ones. What do you think has helped you lose the weight other then the surgery?exercise mostly. The stricture I had probably didn't hurt my weight loss, but it made me so pissed. Now that I'm fixed I realize I really missed food. I hope I'm not making up for it now.
