Added Heavy cream plus water to my shakes to drop the carbs

worried as the cal jumped way up................  Is this any thing to worry about or is it my old brain kicking in prior to my DS?

Old brain. Check the diff between the carbs.

there are no carbs which shocked me

It's hard to shake the old training about calories.

The Old Brain... I had to laugh!  How True It Is! 

To give everyone a laugh... I have some great guy friends who have been my friends for many years (seen me up and down weight wise).  I was telling one of them I made this homemade nut mix.  First words out of his mouth, Nuts have a lot of fat.  I said, "Remember, I only absorb around 20% of fat".  I know on the other end of the phone he's shaking his head!  His brother had the RNY.  It's very hard for him to grasp how I can eat so much but I'm losing weight.  He said "It does not compute in my brain that you don't gain weight by eating fat" 

I think even for those of us with the surgery, it is still that "old brain" at times...

Alright - stop looking at calories altogether.  Look at protein first - then carbs (if you must-then consider if said carbs are complex or simple).  It will drive you crazy - for protein rich foods are high in calories - you'll go batty.

Calories no longer exist!

personally love the heavy cream taste mmmmmm

stop looking at calories:) worry about protein and carbs. i am almost to goal and i am currently taking in 2000 some calories lol believe me they have no sway over your weight loss now:)

It is nuts I think I have sabotaged myself as I have been stalled thinking I was doing the right thing by drinking my shakes with milk I hope the change make a difference!!! thanks for every ones input.
