HA!!!!!! I just love that baby, he's grouchy like me. 

Ya see, the thing is that just because someone has been modified longer than others, doesn't make them "all knowing"..... it is like having blind faith in doctors or nutritionist. They are in the educated profession of weight loss and the surgery, yet they aren't even on the same page.

There are a bunch of "old timers" that have made mistakes that I appreciate them stating what they are having issues with (of which I think most is from lack of knowledge received from their docs or just that the science hasn't caught up with reality) and the penalties they are paying for it now. Vitamin/mineral deficiency's and all..... I am thankful for their sharing for sure!

My point being is that there are many old timers on the other hand that are hanging onto old wisdom that is outdated too. There are many too that are firmly hanging onto a diet mentality and the many different styles of diets, instead of being a "normal" stomached person that eats modestly and not like we used to gluttonly wolf.

With that, there are too many variables with our diets because of reactions to certain foods. Some can't do any carbs, some can't do sugar alcohols, lactose intolerance's..some dump just thinking a bad thought! Again, too many variables and I often wonder if some of the touchiness of some pouches/systems has to do with avoiding things too long and not building a tolerance.....WE DON'T KNOW! 

Enjoy the website, take out what you need from it, leave the rest is the best advice. If you want a controlled personalized basis website, do what MM said and start your own.

An honest and helpful reply...I must say.

And that is the reason I came here.

The issue is...I want to know what to throw out and what to hang onto.  Why fail first only to find out others have already done that and I could have followed. 

It's human nature.

Especially for those of us who are former morbidly obese folk,  We fck up.  We revert to old habits.  There are very, very few who go into this whole journey and ACTUALLY CHANGE.  That requires a brain surgery.

I'm up for brain surgery!!

As long as they have that little button that I can keep pushing in the hospital!!

Thanks mm.  You have been the most helpful as well as some of the other posts.

I see Carbs to be my main problem also and know that to eliminate all carbs and all fat is impossible.

But I would seriously like to find a site where I could go to get High Protein...Low Fat and yet lower Carb recipes with out resorting to the Lard Roll guy.

Ya KNOW...SOME FOLKS HERE WILL ACTUALLY MAKE THAT THING...AND DO YA THINK THEY WILL JUST TAKE A SMIGEON?

 I wouldn't...I'd eat the whole thing before anyone had a chance to get dibs.

Check out bariatriceating.com.  There you will find a plethora of recipes.  Also Eggface's blog is chock full of them.  Take away those that you feel OK about eating and leave the rest behind.  Simple as that.  One size does not fit all...

EXCELLENT

Thanks Robyn.

Those are the kind of sites I was looking for. 

I just did a quick browse through but if the nutrition facts are posted or can be looked up quickly on fitday etc.  Then I will make use of both of them.

Thanks again.

Any tips on Bread or Toast replacement?

I need somthing crunchy that I can dip in my eggs.

Organic Sprouted 100% Whole Grain Flourless Bread

Thanks again M M.

You are now officially my Go-to Girl!!

I did a store search online and found that this is available at 0.0 miles from my house.  So I must have it already?

Nah!  It must be the gormet food store at the corner or the whole foods market down the street.

I'll try it. 

I never thought I'd eat anything called Tofu either..but here ya have it.  I'm eating mainly Tofu for my Protien.  It taste just like what ever you cook it with and it comes in all shapes and sizes.

So why not Sprout Bread!!? 


[I really love these little smily thingys.  Never thought I'd use them either!!]
