Have any of you use the air fryer?

I take cholestyramine for dumping syndrome. Anyone else?

I only get my carbs from vegetables but I don't include potatoes , sweet potatoes, pumpkin, parsnips peas or corn. I stay clear of any wheat or grains or legumes as well. Any food that will spike my insulin I try to avoid like the plague.
I can't remember what I try and keep it under.
But I have increased my fats which is working great.

How many gms of carb is ideal 2 months post op to facilitate continued weight loss ?

You don't have to measure carbs unless you are still diabetic.
Avoid refined carbs (sugars & flours) completely, or at least as much as possible.
As as long as you are getting sufficient nutrients in general and meeting your Plan's minimums, eating "healthy" carbs like legumes, potatoes (not fried, lol!), whole intact grains and seeds (like quinoa), is fine. In fact they help a lot with feeling satiated.

I've been slower than most to. I'm 6 months out. People tell me that it seems I stay the same then overnight it looks like I've dropped 20. Lol take your body measurements. You could be losing inches just keeping plugging away. It will happen

Thanks @tlola84 The same was happening to me we weren't playing phone tag I took your advice I emailed them last Monday they got back to me a day later and I had my appointment to sign consent today and I've been scheduled for surgery April 24th. It's a little far because I need time to request time off and my surgeon is going on vacation

I have a very similar fear. Spent a lot of time in counseling learning to love myself after some traumas that left me happily fat and unwanted. What i realized after some serious soul searching was that my fat identity is exactly what will allow me to love my skinny identity. Embrace fat you and learn what you love most about how you present yourself now so you can incorporate that confidence into your new mind and body. My fat me is confident and fearless. Thats what i will pack for my new body.
As far as compliments go, i find them easier to handle when i turn it around on the person sincerely. If they say, "wow you look great", i say "i was just about to say the same about you! Tell me, (then ask a question like, whay makeup do you use, where did you get that outfit, etc). Takes the focus off of you and on to them.
