Topic: Feeling like I'm failing

I am 8 days post open from sleeve surgery. I am still on liquids, feeling hungry all of the time. I am on a prescription for gas so I'm pretty sure that's not it. I want to eat food so badly. I feel like the more I can't have it the more I want it. I want nothing more then to be successful, I need help, advise, or anything that will get me over this hump. I have been eating some soups so I feel as though I all ready may be cheating.... please help!

Topic: Carbs or Net Carbs?

Does anyone trying to keep to a daily carb quota count net carbs, rather than just total carbs? I'm wondering how that plays in the bariatric community.

I use unjury Strawberry in my lemonade. It helps cut the sweetness with the tart of the lemons. I also would put the chocolate in coffee (decaf or not:-) which helps it go down.

Topic: RE: Any sleevers that went Vegan to get back on track?

way before my RNy I went vegan... for 6 months I ate vegan - all natural (minimally processed ) foods... in 6 months I gained 50 lbs.. even my naturopathic doc told me to start eating meat and fish, eggs.. she said  "some people are not meant to be vegan.. you are one of them.."

we hold on to 6 months because she wanted to make sure... and she was convinced that one day my body will let go ..

Yea - later on I discovered that I had insulin resistance...  and allergy to soy, can't digest corn... gluten intolerance... etc etc... 

make sure you doing that for right reasons...

Not me.  My bff is vegan and there's no way I'd be able to get the right amount of protein and carbs in my diet if I was maintaining her diet.

Topic: RE: Why no salads for three months?!?!?!?

Kim I was actually looking forward to having a big salad. After my 6 week post-op appointment with PA and nutritionist, she gave me the green light. As I was walking out, she reminded me to call her after my lunch. I should have known something was up, so off to lunch I went. Salad wasn't a good friend of my new tummy! 

Love yourself for the journey that you've been on, respect your new tummy and introduce salad to it gently. I'm 4 years out and  celery, onion, bell peppers still aren't my friend. I"ll wait a couple of months and test those items above. As of today, my tummy still doesn't like them. I can tolerate a few onions or bell peppers in an entree but my "friend" doesn't appreciate it. I truly don't miss them, too many other herbs and veggies out there to enjoy.
