Weight loss is not scientific. Lack of nutrients leads to not being able to provide nutrients to the body and can lead to sudden death due to insufficient nutrient intake. getting over it

Yes. For me it's gotten to the point of if I eat any carbs. Doesn't matter when.

Topic: RE: Gastric bypass hypoglycemia

Yes I'm grateful that my insurance is paying for the continuous glucose monitor and the ozempic. I'm still on a lower dose of ozempic so I haven't noticed it helping much yet but I'm going to continue to titrate up to give it a shot. I have lost 12 pounds in 6 weeks on it so that's a plus. I have consulted with another bariatric surgeon and he said reversal helps for some and not for others . I don't want to go through a surgery where I don't know if I will get results or not. so I'm really hoping ozempic will help.

Topic: RE: Gastric bypass hypoglycemia

I had VSG surgery over 10 years ago and have always struggled with this. It is particularly easy to cause an episode if I consume the sugar or carbs on an empty stomach (like first thing in the morning)

Topic: Drinking Our Calories

I purchased a healthy appearing kale based green juice drink at Starbucks this morning- then read the label .

37 carbs ! As opposed to a zero fat light n fit yogurt - 90 calories, 19 carbs and 3 grams protein.

I could eat two yogurts for the same "cost " as that ( pretty nasty tasting) drink and I'm getting actual tasty FOOD lol .

I do notice that many of the calorie counts for Starbucks type coffee ( and other) drinks are shockingly huge .

Kinda like drinking a milkshake - a real slider food.

The folks that frequent Starbucks aren't a bunch of lightweights either on average.

It's crazy how much of an impact weight loss surgery can have on reducing the risk of obesity-related cancers. And yeah, that obesity statistic is definitely alarming.

Topic: RE: Obesity Worsening in America

I think a combination of factors like sedentary lifestyles, poor diets, and easy access to unhealthy food contribute to the obesity epidemic. It's important to raise awareness and promote healthier habits, but it's not an easy fix for sure
