Same.. I can't even stand white meat anymore! So now I use the boneless skinless thighs instead.. But there are so many things that just thinking about them turns my stomach.. Too bad it's not the stuff that I need it to turn my stomach [emoji57]

I'm with you.. Im a carb addict & unfortunately they don't make me sick but I also don't want to start that slide into going back where I was so I refrain from them for the most part because it's too damn easy to get back in those habits! So I try to sub things like cauliflower rice for reg rice or spaghetti squash or zuchinni "zoodles".. You just have to change your expectations of the taste because it's not going to taste the same!

Yeah.. I had Lyme Disease which caused Lyme induced arthritis in both my hips.. It was horrible.. Bone on bone.. I had gained weight because of the Lyme.. I was always heavy but was able to be active then I couldn't.. So I was at a point where I knew it was time to get serious.. I knew I was going to have to have both hips replaced but knew there was no way I was doing that at 340#s.. So had the surgery.. Lost 120.. Had both hips replaced and that was EVERYTHING.. Gave me life back! I hope you're able to find some relieve.. Do your hip first.. It's such an easy recovery!

Everyone is different honestly.. Unfortunately I can pretty much eat what I want.. Sometimes I get a little belly ache but nothing major.. Quite honestly I wish it did make me violently ill.. I do NOT want to slide back down that rabbit hole.. And let me tell you.. You have to stay on top of it because it would be so easy to do!

I'm curious if you and your doctor have discussed this at all.. My doctors wants me off NSAIDS forever since my RNY

food has definitely been a happy button and became more so after physical health issues came along and keep me from being able to do much physically anymore without lots of pain.. After surgery when I was able to start eating regular food again.. I was depressed at first because I couldn't eat the food I loved the way I used to eat them.. Then I just realized.. Food is fuel.. Its not really meant to b my pleasure place.. I feel better now but I def need to work on more happy buttons.. Adult Coloring is on of them.. I get my socializing in on Second Life.. Partially anyways.. Munky
