    Food Before and After Photos

    Keto coconut/pysllium flour tortillas/wraps (I posted the video a few pages ago, but@FluffyChix may have pioneered the recipe in her blog years ago I think remember her saying correct me if I'm wrong) L. I. S. T. E. N. Many may not know this but I absolutely can not handle bread after my RNY conversion. NBD. didn't really eat much any ways except once a year and a small piece during kiddush I digress... So I decided to try this alternative yesterday and because of this fiber filled monster, I was FULL FOR HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS 😳 (I ate about 1/3 of it) Oh the Salmon Croquette may have helped πŸ˜‚ So yesterday I basically only had chia pudding and this πŸ˜’
  2. Hi welcome! Genetics is a humbling ***** I wanted start by saying IMHO Intelligence level and metabolic (or any favorable) genetics are not necessarily correlated. E.G. Stephen Hawkings. (Also IMHO more likely in our current societal structure intelligence and environmental factors have a stronger correlation -such as food scarcity/deserts and access to nutrition education- but the jury is still out...) I, likewise, hold a Master's but will put it in a folder to collect dust when it comes time to talk about my health. Family history, lifestyle, exercise, etc. those things mean more to the physcians. Unfortunately those people never truly understand so you will likely be wasting your breath. Unless these people are the gatekeepers in your process or highly HIGHLY important in your life, do you really owe them a presentation? A lot of Doctors call this a set point, YouTube bariatric surgeon Dr. Weiner. He talks about this often This surgery does not ONLY alter the physical digestive pathways but also metabolic changes occur. Best to attend a few seminars, talk it through with a Surgeon you trust and research on your own while you decide. There is A LOT of research out there, mostly medical journals easily found on Google Scholar or through other portals using your Uni's Alumni House access codes πŸ˜‰ Good Luck πŸ’™

    So um yeah... PRACTICING WHAT I PREACH -all thrown in the trash Welcome to the November 2019 Challenge everyone. There will be a few days where it may be impossible to be compliant. *cough* Thanksgiving, but the goal of this challenge is to clean up our diet/lifestyles enough that we don't treat everyday like a holiday (there are plenty coming anyway 😌)

    Fish & chips?

    Hmmm. This *likely* isn't on any post op plan at soft stage/4 weeks post op but just incase check with your NUT/Dietician/Surgeon to see exactly what the professionals say πŸ˜‰
