I'm 9months post op and on a new sleeping med that causes nausea. Does anyone have any good OTC anti nausea meds they can recommend?

I asked my nutritionist how many carbs a day I should have. At 1300 calories (6months post op) she told me 130 carbs. That just seems way too much. Wondering how it compares to others.

I know it turns people off when you point out their faults but it just comes out. Like another poster, my mom also made snide remarks growing up about what I eat and my dad still corners me with questions even if I don't do anything "wrong". I guess I'm psychologically giving payback or something who knows. For about a week I quit eating and just worked out like crazy. I managed to lose a few lbs but my work outs began turning into crap because I just didn't have enough energy. So, I knew I needed to start eating again, but I felt like an 80 calorie apple is 80 calories more ill have to burn for a 3,500 calorie pound. I began throwing up food. One side of me knew this was wrong (I know all the problems it can cause. I've worked in the medical field for years) but it makes total sense to the other part of me. The problem kept getting worse so I confronted my parents about it. I guess they figure if I admit to it, then it's not really there versus if I turned to skin and bones and they caught me doing it. They don't understand at all and were just thrilled that it made me lose weight. When I quit doing it, I gained those few lbs back immediately so I feel like I need To go back to those bad habits, but at the same time I know it's going to reflect in my workouts. I'm completely torn down the middle.

I still don't eat perfectly and I'm still obese, but I still try to teach my family about healthy eating. I would prob do better if they were all on board too. My mom has type two diabetes and numerous problems because of it. She'll say "I'm allowed to eat.....(amount of whatever food)", yet she never actually eats it. All she eats is cake and fried chicken. My sister goes out to eat constantly. Last night I calculate her calories just for dinner and it was over 1,000 calories... Then she went out for ice cream and today she brought home a bag of donuts. She's avg size, just a lil thick in the tummy. My dad will buy a bag of chips and she eats the whole thing, but I'm always the one blamed because I'm the fat one. Obviously that pisses me off. But it makes me even more angry when I see family eat bad. Why the hell do I get so mad? I can't control what they eat, but I just can't let go. How can I NOT get so angry over this?

Thank you, Marie. Amy, please leave your judgement at the door.

It's still going to be a struggle. People have lost the weight and gained it back and others haven't lost it at all. It's all up to YOU. You've got to be the one to utilize your sleeve. No one else can do it for you; you've got to do it for yourself

I really need something crunchy tho

I need help getting out of this month long stall. Any tips?

Way cool! Has anyone tried this yet? What's the difficulty level?

I just can't seem to get myself to stop munching on anything I can get my hands on before bed. It's so aggravating because I want to do good and lose weight but I still feel such a strong urge to crunch on something.

I know diet supplements are bad and were not supposed to take em, especially after surgery, but I'm wondering if anyone here has, what they took, and what were the side effects?

No one is ever in it for me either. I guess ChatRooms are just a thing of the passed. Maybe if we set a time to try and log in to chat, more people will go.
