    I’m glad it works for you.

    What happened to “I’m leaving this board when I get to goal and people who hang around need to get a life?”

    I thought you said it was better for your health to not hang around.

    I’m five years out, low carb and have never been healthier. I’m glad we all find different paths to health.

    Encouraged to do what doesn’t work?

    Except it DOES for many of us which is why it’s encouraged.

    You say you want people to realize there are multiple paths yet always say low carb doesn’t work.

    Yup and some of us with that issue are low carb-ers

    You say you’re trying to advocate against one size fits all but slam us all the time

    I also eat a different diet. Carb Loading with distance running. No one is jealous of my diet why would they be of yours? The difference is I feel no need to preach my diet or disrespect other people or their diet plan.
    Is it jealousy or calling you out on your behavior? Let the viewers decide.

    I am an authoritarian, I guess. I think a person’s medical team is more knowledgeable about their success than I am. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    Also- people who are freshly moved into their glass houses (meaning you’ve been at maintenance for like a second) really should not throw stones about how to successfully not regain or fail.

    And that’s great! But the only thing you seem to come here to do is advocate on behalf of your beloved carbohydrates, as if the rest of don’t know any better and are doing this thing all wrong.

    It just seems a bit antagonistic. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    You know- it’s kind of awful to repeatedly come here and encourage folks to go against the advice of their medical providers.

    Yes, your surgeon does sound like an ass, BUT how have you been eating? I doubt that he opened you up and just didn't do anything. I get hungry too. In fact, as I'm writing this, I'm hungry and wanting some lunch! I just can't eat a lot at one time. The food choices that you make, affect how much you can eat of something too. I don't know how you're eating; you've been asked a few times, but you haven't responded. How is your diet? The surgery is only part of weight loss equation. My surgeon explained that the surgery won't do it all for me, I have to eat right, exercise, and drink Water too. Do you keep track of your food, Protein, and water? The surgery will not fix it all for you; you have to make changes too in order to see results.

    jess9395 reacted to sillykitty in Premier Protein – Not Premier for Bariatric Patients!   
    Alex ....
    Honest question here. If you have such concerns about Premier Protein, why do you still sell GENEPRO. The Genepro issues are much more serious, and the company that makes Genepro has behaved seriously unethically, IMO.
    I also don't think the Premier Protein issues are so terrible. 26-29 g of protein vs. 30 g. That is a 3-13% discrepancy. Although not ideal, not the worst either (i.e. Genepro).
    And casein & milk protein concentrate vs. whey protein isolate. Are there any studies saying whey protein is superior? Not all of us have bypasses. Even with bypasses, just because casein is absorbed more slowly, does it mean it is absorbed less completely?

    We went out to Breakfast for my mother in law’s birthday this am. I did what I often do at restaurants and just got an extra plate and people shared with me. Half a scrambled egg... quarter of a slice whole wheat toast, a bite of hash browns and smoked tri tip (the piece was maybe 2-3oz... this place has incredible smoked tri tip). You can see I are maybe a third of the carb servings and 2/3 of the Protein.< br />
    This time my 15 year old didn’t finish it though because he had a HUGE breakfast burrito that he couldn’t even finish.

    Homemade chicken no-noodle Soup. I make it with lots of sautéed onions and mushrooms. Then I add in Pasta noodles in my husband and son’s bowls and pour the soup on top and leave them out of mine.

    Is there a reason you don’t use regular milk? That smoothie wouldn’t work for my plan bc of the carb to Protein ratio since almond milk is skimpy on protein. Regular milk would make it work for me. Just curious.

    Also some insurances don't require the 3-6 months of supervised weight loss and visits. I had my four year follow up appointment a few months ago and in the exam room my doc had a chart posted for info with a list of insurance companies and their requirements. About a third of the ones listed (mine included) had none. I had six l weeks between my first looking up info and surgery date. I only had to get all the clearances or might have been quicker. My insurance didn't require much and I have a biggie in California.

    Can your boyfriend/hubby/fiancée (you've used all three terms) take you and pay for the dollar store? They test just a day late.

    And yes on the planned parenthood suggestion as well.

    To be honest, those both seem a bit like slider foods to me, which means perhaps they emptied out of your pouch pretty quickly (allowing you to consume more).

    If you eat some something like deli meat or chicken salad or chicken, how much can you consume?

    This is the mental prep we all go through, hopefully during the preop phase - because it is easier during this phase. You have to stop considering everything as 'food events', take a hard look at why food as recreation should be this important. This has to be a hard realization and has to happen BEFORE you re-introduce any trigger food back into your life or you will be free falling.
    You can enjoy food again that you truly like, but be picky. Seriously - cotton candy? Save it for some supremely decadent chocolate cake, cheesecake, the very best strawberry shortcake w real whipped cream. There are no food famines, food will not disappear, but I promise - jeans EIGHT sizes smaller will trump that cotton candy any day. Hang in there.
