Topic: RE: Wednesday? CARb Accountability Roundup!
Hey Paul, that's terrific on the 4 pounds. I started on 1/10/2011 and I'm down 6 pounds. I think this lowered carbs is really helpful for me along with the exercise I'm able to do again. Can't wait to see your updated pics. Congrats on the surgiversary. Mine was last week. I had 7 WLS friends come for a dinner party and it was great fun. I hope you celebrate.

Hi,
I'm just checking in. I haven't been logging my food faithfully for the last week since I started getting sick. My Sleeve was very upset and I was throwing up a lot, not the I ate too much kind, but the many hours later kind of illness. I'm posting so that I'll go back to logging every bite. I think I've been in the under 30 carbs range because I have been mentally keeping track. I want to do a big push with food and exercise to get me under 160. I don't have far to go and that will be a huge victory for me as it's been since around 1976 since I've seen the 150anythings.
I'll start posting to this thread again as I think it's really good for me to do so. It's great to see everyone doing so well.

Breakfast: boiled egg, string cheese, 3 cherry tomatoes
snack: chicharones
Lunch: Salad with chicken, cheese, using sour cream and hot sauce as dressing -yummy

Dinner: Beef stroganoff over the shirataki noodles (thank YOU!!!!) 1 Sugar Free chocolate
Probably finish the day with a protein shake or low carb yogurt.
About 30 net carbs.
Good day. Had a huge temptation event and avoided it (chinese - loaded with sugar, and a retirement celebration cake). Just stopped by and wished him well and left - no eating - unheard of in the past.

I did okay today, but I'm still trying to work out my eating schedule while I'm at school.
B--Coffee/cream
L--Maybe 1/4 of a Muscle Milk RTD shake, just couldn't choke it down
S-Scrambled egg peeled off a sausage/egg bagel sandwich
D-Eggface's crustless quiche, 1/2c green beans
S-1/4 c hot cocoa made w/skim milk, dutch process cocoa & splenda
The bright side is all of this ENERGY :) Who knew that all this time it was the CARBS that made me crash after each meal?

Hey there all!
I planned ahead, and packed my food for work, today! Here's what I packed:
Snack: Smoked Gouda and Peanuts
Lunch: Shirataki Noodles with Homemade Traditional Beef Stew (no potatoes)
Snack: Pickled herring in rich cream sauce
Dinner: Sashimi with sugar-free cucumber salad and seaweed salad
Here's what I actually ate (because it was a busy day)
Breakfast: Poached eggs and coffee (no time for hollandaise, that kinda day)
Snack: Coffee with cream
Lunch: Coffee with cream
Snack: Coffee with cream
Dinner: A piece of sashimi, no time for anything else!
I think it was about 10 grams of carbs, but not very healthy or well-balanced, despite my best efforts. So as we can see from this example, we might plan, and still not hit the mark! On a lighter note, all this great food is waiting for me when I get to work tomorrow!
How did your day pan out?

Topic: RE: Tuesday? Already? CARb Accountability Roundup
Tuesday - was not my best low carb day.
But there is always another day... The carb was bit high... but most - if not all were low gycemic.. so I did not do too much damage.

Stuffed Cabbage Casserole
This is a variation of recipes I've seen on low carb websites.
1 pkg coleslaw (shredded cabbage)
2 lbs. ground beef
2 cans petite diced tomatoes (do not drain)
2 cans tomatoe sauce
oregano
garlic (I use three cloves)
two onions (chopped)
2 - 3 cups shredded cheddar
Put cabbage in large glass baking dish that's been sprayed with Pam. Sautee onions, garlic and ground beef; drain; add tomatoes, sauce and spices. I let it simmer for a few minutes. Put beef/tomato mixture on top of cabbage, cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes at 350. Remove foil, top with cheese and continue baking for another 15 minutes or so.
We love this casserole!

Topic: RE: PRODUCTS Thread: Low-Carb Yummies
I found delicious low carb bread at When Pigs Fly Bakers in Freeport, Maine. They will mail their bread too! Each slice is 6 net carbs. It's very dense so I get it unsliced and slice it thinly so it's even less than 6. You have to buy a minimum of three loaves at a time (they're $5 each). It freezes beautifully. They will aso send it "par-baked" and you can finish baking it at home.

Topic: RE: Newbie Here !!!
Welcome!! I'm really glad you're here. It's a nice group of us around here. :)
It looks like you're doing fantastic with your DS. I too have done low carb off and on for many years. I find that it's what takes away my cravings. I must have a big carb sensitivity because once I cleanse of the white stuff, I always feel better.
Do you participate in MajorMoms Vites and Bites over the DS board? She's always a great support person.
