Adventures in Maintenance: I Really Can't Eat That Edition

Mine is meat - beef, chicken (chicken salad is a little better) and pork. It's not just that I have good restriction, it's that they feel like a lead weight in my stomach. That's why I've become what I call a "mostaterian" - mostly a vegetarian, though I do occasionally have meat.

I, too, use mostly soft protein to get calories in and track/record. I have determined, though, that if I have any regain problem a switch to dense protein will be the first solution.

My view has always been that life is full of "pretty good" solutions - not perfect but much better than whatever the problem was. Looked at that way, my sleeve is a pretty darn good solution to a problem that was ruining my life and health. The fact that it's less than perfect doesn't bother me because I never expected some sort of miracle cure.

This has been a very enjoyable read!  I loved it!

Ice cream in any form I have to stay away from, I have no control! Also ditto on the Quest bars, they were like candy bars for me and also made me have crazy cravings all day long.

 Ice cream does not sit well with me.  But oh my goodness, cookies give me no problem.  Have to stay away from those things!
