OH kinda frowns on people re directing others to another site. You might want to take out the link in your post or oh will do it for you.
Also popping pills/supplements/etc to suppress appetite is no different from the many unregulated/un proven supplements targeted towards people seeking to lose weight.
Most people here have had enough of fads/people trying to take advantage of people selling their stuff to make a quick buck.

I'd try cross posting on the main/rny board. In a nutshell this is a fad diet & like so many fad diets they work in the short term but overall it doesn't work, plus you'll lose out on a lot of nutrients that you'll need to stay healthy. Since you malabsorb nutrients for life, I'd be leery of trying anything that would restrict me nutrition wise.
Don't worry so much about the lack of exercise, ultimately its what you put in your mouth that matters most. People have lost weight without exercise., it helps, but not as much as you think.

During high weight loss and 2-6months out I was eating about 400-700 calories and would only have 15-30g all day. It's very important to me that I keep sugars as low as possible. I'm a year out now and I do have sugar in my coffee in the mornings because "life" I like it and it works in my plan. So my sugars are now in the 50-60g range and I'm at 1000-1200k calories. I am maintaining about 200lbs at 5 9". It's been a pretty happy weight for me as it's allowed me the opportunity to do far more things. However I'm about to go back to a more calorie and sugar restrictive plan here soon because I'd like to lose another 10-20lbs.
Some of us are more prone to sugar crazyness so you need to judge for yourself how much is enough. No one wants to feel like they have no food choices but if you can get away from processed food options the sugar isn't too much of an issue. Stick with meats and cheese, nuts and eggs, veggies if you want them, and if you really want something sweet berries are a good choice. When your away from sugar and artificial sweeteners for awhile, berries actually are sweet and a nice treat without blowing your carb ratios.

The cake is a lie, but Starbucks is not.
For more replies, maybe post over in the General or RNY space?
I'd suggest skipping the cabbage diet and going back to the very basics of WLS eating, along with weighing & measuring everything and tracking it in My Fitness Pal or something similar.
That way you'll be in a pattern that you can continue, rather than a short-term diet.

I need to know if I can go on the cabbage diet after having gastric bypass. I've recently gained 10lbs. in the last 3 weeks and I am disgusted with myself, and I feel this is a good way for me to jump start my future diet, yet I don't know if it is safe for a bypass patient. Can anyone help me in this regard? If it's not safe for me, is there, or what can I do, to start to lose that weight. I was comfortable at 145lbs, I am grossed out with myself for this weight gain. I know one of my biggest issues is lack of exercise, but I suffer from fibromyalgia, severely, so much so that many days I can barely get off the couch for moments at a time. Any suggestions as to what I can do, cuz I know I could stick to the cabbage diet for 7 days, I love cabbage, yet I know how much we have to have protein, so I don't know what to do. Any helpful tips will be great. Thank you for anyone *****ad my story.
I am 1 year post op and I eat 15 max carbs per day or 5 per meal. May calorie intake is less than 600 and my protein is between 60-80. This is what my surgeon recommends for weight loss. I had the VSG one year ago today. Hope this helps.
Hi there,
i know the website says obesity help, but most people on here have opted for weight loss surgery.
If that's not something you are considering, I would suggest you google various low carb diet plans.
Like: keto diet, paleo, whole 30. Weigh****chers. If you google any of those terms plus menu or recipes, you will find tons of ideas.
Also, google weight loss and behaviour change. You will find tips on how to change your eating habits, or how to avoid falling into the same routines (like stress eating, boredom eating etc)
Start tracking the food you eat now. Get an idea of how many calories and what kind you are eating. I use the app My Fitness Pal. Once you know what you are eating, you can start to cut or reduce certain things. Like simple carbs (bread, rice pasta, pop)
keep reading on here. Even if surgery isn't t for you, there's lots to learn here.
take care,

I need strict diet recipes two lose weight and lots of it anyone have any ideas what kind of meals to eat what's the best thing to lose large amount weight
I also love to cook.
My scale has a hold button. It even will set zero when I turn on the scale.
what this means is the if I put a plate on the scale, then turn it on zero is now set to ignore that a plate is on the scale. If I then put 3 ounces of meat on the scale, and press the hold button, the scale resets the zero. I can then add 6 ounces of veggies.
You may want to see if your scale will let you do that.
