Same happened to me so I stopped using that one too I tried Baritastic which will let you scan barcodes of food packages so that's a plus?CONGRATULATIONS?I've tried to come to terms with my food waste but it's still out of control . I'm still working on it at almost 3 yrs post op. Yesterday I bought an entire bag of cookies for one serving and when I tried to toss the remainder, my BF was appalled. I think the problem is I grew up in a large family so I only learned to cook for medium to large groups. I can only seem to cook small if it's a single piece of prepackaged fish ?, but if I can will eat the same meal until its done. The ONLY thing I have mastered is salvaging and freezing fruit on the brink of rotting. My freezer is filled with smoothie ready ingredients I'll get to this summer and luckily my teens can actually cook so that burden is *mostly* lifted... whewConsider asking for other pain management such as Ketorolac or getting a Rx from your Primary for whatever pain meds you need Good LuckThere is a plethora of reasons for gaining weight prior to metabolic surgery (WLS) but from my experience, IMHO for those of us on the otherside , the usual suspect is a caloric surplus compared to your needs for your new BMR Hopefully other's who have insight will chime in Good Luck !Vegetarian wrap w/ a little added veg protein
Looks so appetizing ?Maybe that missing link is fennel? Idk why but when i add fennel seeds to my eastern dishes they taste a little more authenticI have all of these plus more ?I'm wearing the same clothes... But new nails ?
Meet me at the Rainbow Bridge ?My local Halal Bodega cook is so confused by my choices (I order every sandwich w/o bread) but humors me none the less ? A chopped cheese on Trader Joe's low carb tortilla
