MargieW reacted to Kooky1 in A year out from surgery, what is your daily diet consist of?
I think the 40 grams of carbs should be 40 grams of NET carbs.
Carbs - Fiber - sugar alcohols = NET carbs
An apple may have 8 carbs but with its fiber, you may only have 4 or 5 net carbs.

MargieW got a reaction from kmorri in Is this a stupid idea?
My pre-op diet was 2 weeks of Protein shakes 3 times a day with 1 Greek yogurt snack, sugar free Jello, and broth. I started early by drinking 1 shake per day for 3 days, then 2 shakes per day for 3 days, then the 3 per day just so I could work up to it. It was still difficult the first 3 days of it, but not as bad if I had not prepared. I'm 1 week post-op now, and still on this diet for 1 more week. I am going to be so glad to see pureed food lol. But I have lost 40 lbs so it pays off. Good luck, and I don't think it's stupid.

@@Lizardlady a rule of thumb 45 grams of carbs per meal. This is a typical diabetic diet. I think what you have to keep in mind is fruit is a good carb because it has Fiber, and a lot of veggies have carbs in them too. 40 carbs per day is unrealistic and unhealthy.

MargieW got a reaction from PaulaB72 in haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate
I think Avafern is on to something, but I would approach it non-threatening first. Gently confront her about what she says to you. Ask her why she says those things, and then let her know you really don't appreciate them. Is she overweight? Whose statements sound, like insecurities of her own coming out. If she continues or says something nasty when you ask her, then tell her to knock it off or you're going to HR next time. Bullies in the work place will continue to Bully you if you don't stand up to her, so if she is one, take her down.
