Cacao nibs might be a nice addition but I don't have them in the pantry right now.

Mix the following... ... and get something greenish, disgusting looking but good tasting food. Guess I'll eat this with banana and kiwi fruit.

?

I find this is the same with all substitutes for anything I've ever tried in my life. They're either good so you eat so much of it that it doesn't make a real dent compared to eating the real thing or they taste just horrible and aren't worth eating and/or not working for satisfying the cravings. The only substitute that has ever worked for me was sweetener as a substitute for sugar.

I've watched Dr. Now on this 600 lbs stuff - had to close the tab in my browser after a few minutes only. Couldn't stand this guy.

? That's bad. Are you considering the recommended revision?

Sounded so much like an ultimatum that I assumed it was by some correction officer that threatened her with having to go straight to WLS boot camp if she doesn't get "back on track" in time.

Bummer! Cutting out dairy was a game changer for me regarding reflux symptoms. Have you tried cutting out the harder-to-digest fats already?

I definitely need to try it. This liquid stevia lemon - is that some kind of flavor drop? I'd guess it could work well with the skyr style Alpro since it's thick and also creamy enough once stirred. Maybe I'll give it a try with matcha and lime and a sweetener. I planned on ordering tea anyway. I think my favorite tea online shop has matcha powder as well.

Have you tried it already? I personally think it's the best out there since years and they're still getting better. I personally haven't tracked in a whole while though but it was very helpful in terms of getting all your micronutrients in.

How do you prepare this? I might try it with the Alpro substitute.

Oh, did you yourself have the impression that it changed something in your GERD when you didn't eat dairy? I guess not if you're back to eating yoghurt again. GERD triggers can be hard to find.

This thread is over 4 years old. Given by whom?

Rubbish. Get a different surgeon.

They also talk about "abuse". Whatever that means in terms of alcohol. Is a glass of wine or two on weekends now and then "abuse"? Then there is also the big difference between lethal acute intoxication and chronic damage (same with drugs). Personally I'm more worried about accidental drug overdoses. What comes to my mind is e. g. paracetamol. OTC, especially for WLS patients a go-to for headaches and it metabolizes via the liver.

The focus of CRON-O-Meter is not really on calories. You can track and look at tons of nutrients, this includes of course the basic macro information as well. You can customize a lot of what nutrients you want to see in the diary, e. g. if you want to look at how much tryptophan you're getting you can choose to make that nutrient visible on the diary. If you don't want to look at a certain nutrient because you're not interested in it you can choose that nutrient not to be displayed.

Yes, including quite a lot of people on this website.

Using food to socialize is a human thing to do since thousands of years. Everyone can feel free to break with this tradition of course but don't expect many people in your environment to follow you.

CRON-O-Meter is a very good one. Available both as app and on the web.

The problem is that not the head physicians are hiring staff.

I doubt. The two other head physicians were more like "This won't work!" than anything else anyway. In the end this will hopefully be much-a-do-about-really-much, at least this is what I'm hoping for. Anyway, we demanded a simulation, i. e. a whole month's schedule WITHOUT violating the law regarding allowed maximum working time (including vacation time problems and maybe one person being sick) - ever single of these plans will crumble down like a house of cards!

One of the head physicians (there are three of them for three different radiology sub-departments) talked about the planned possible new versions of the on-duty-schedule and all of them SUCK!!! making it worse for us so we gave him our quite strong opinions on this for about an hour this very morning during the meeting. We need 2 to 3 more coworkers, ideally already being able to do 24 h shifts - but even if not, they'll still be helpful during the daytime. Several people went away and nobody came for them so of course there're problems now! Give us more manpower again and the problems will be solved! Seriously, it's not that hard to understand.

Awful looking but yummy. Rice, kidney beans, chick peas, tomato sauce and fake parmesan (nutritional yeast and cashews). Could only eat a few bites. I'm still fuming because the **** like really hit the fan at work today (so literally everyone is fuming).

Nobody can tell what amount of calories is enough to maintain or not. It depends on too many things like age, sex, genetics, activity level etc.

Doesn't sound crazy at all. Don't feel the need to somehow justify that you're not logging your food by claiming that it sounds "crazy".
