Hi Roz, I'm so disappointed at myself. Yes Bad Carbs does get the scale climbing. I've gained 15 lbs from my goal weight. It's been 7 years now since my surgery and I am trying to get back to my comfort weight of 125. Even thou my goal weight is 130 I find myself more comfortable at 125. I wanted to go back again in time to shock my pouch. My question to you is should I go back to drinking protein shake again?
Thank you,
Lani
Hello Everyone - I'm Erin and I'm just getting started on my journey to WLS. I've had my initial evaluation and am scheduled for a bunch of tests in late October. I only have a BMI of 35.9 currently, but at my highest weight I was a 44. I'm interested to hear about how folks with lower BMI's were handled with their insurance. I have Type I diabetes and potentially sleep apnea.
I'm not posting my food because I'm not proud of my choices today. My stress level has lowered considerable from the last few weeks. The troublemaker at my job was fired. Without her, the other young gal is doing fine. The new supervisor is great to work with. My BP went back to normal. I've got to make an appointment with my surgeon's office and get myself back to losing.
Roz, sorry to hear about your hubby. My hubby has many health issues, one of them being severe acid reflux. His stomach doesn't empty as it should so he is supposed to follow a low fiber diet. It's very restricted and he did follow it for awhile, but then he started feeling good, no tummy problems and went back to eating all those things he wasn't supposed to have. He suffered for several days until he got back on the plan.
I'm sure you've explained why you buy the gluten free almond nut bars, but please tell me again. I have had them and like them, but wonder what the difference between the gluten free and the regular NV bars.
Maybe tomorrow I'll post what I really eat. :)

WARNING TO SELF AND TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN!!! AVOID 'BAD' CARBS AT ALL COSTS!!! THEY ARE ADDICTING!! THEY WILL SLOW DOWN YOUR WEIGHT LOSS DURING THE LOSING STAGE (and you won't even notice)!! THEY WILL MAKE THE SCALE GO UP AFTER THE HONEYMOON PERIOD IS OVER.
Success in Maintenance starts with GOOD CHOICES during the Honeymoon Period.
I feel I need to repeat this: I am a FIRM believer in Good Whey Protein Drinks!!!!! It is sooooo much harder to do Maintenance without them!
Over the Hump Day!! DH had a heart Dr. appt. today. Didn't go well. Blood Pressure and Cholesterol were high. He added and changed his meds. He has to go for a stress test and wear a heart monitor for a few days. It's been a battle since he Retired to keep him away from McDonalds and the Donut Shop. He gets me sooooo worked up.....I'm Fighting the Chocolate cravings!!!!! Maybe after seeing the Dr. he will listen to me!
