It's only a month late (sorry - life happens!), but I've finally gotten my podcast going!
In the first episode, I mostly just introduce myself and explain why I chose the sleeve.

I'd love your feedback! And if you have suggestions for future topics, that would be awesome too! So far, I'm planning episodes on insurance, head hunger, what wls is and what it isn't, and a more in depth look at the different kinds of surgeries.
THE BASICS BOOTCAMP VERSION 2 (5.2.2014) RULES: The most important rule is you must follow the rules for it to work. It's only 5 days, you CAN do it! For 5 STRICT DAYS eat only AS MENTIONED BELOW... If you are desperate to get back on track this WILL work, but again you MUST follow the rules EXACTLY.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proteins: Seafoods, Poultry (skinless and fat trimmed) and eggs (no or half yolks only and not more than 1 yolk per day), Dairies (No more than 2% milk fat), nuts/seeds including Peanut Butter (No more than 1 serving or 1 Tbsp PB only).
Veggies: As much as you can get in. Tomatoes are fruit.
Fruits: None.
Breads/Cereals/Other Carbs: Net 30g.
Fluids: Minimum 64 Oz Water.< /p>
Protein drinks (No sugar. RTD or Powder).
~AVOID SUGAR AND SODIUM~ Keep your servings to 8g or less in processed foods with nutrition labels. Never any candy, Cookies, chips, pop corn, crackers, cake, pastries, etc. Total sodium for the day should not exceed 1800 mg (unless you have a health issue that would make this more or less).
Once the 5 days are over, I am pretty much over the Sugar Carb Demon. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate carbs! I do need them to live a healthy life. However, I need GOOD carbs. Whole grains, fruits, veggies... But I don't need processed sugars. White carbs, in cereals, breads, rice... etc.
Lots will do the 5 day pouch test. liquids only is simply from being threatened with my life (post op) or if I'm just feeling sick and to let my Sleevie rest. That's it.
AS WITH ANY DIET REGIMEN PLEASE MAKE MODIFICATIONS IF NECESSARY IF YOU HAVE ANY HEALTH CONDITION THAT WOULD MAKE ANY PART OF THIS DIET HARMFUL TO YOU!! Or if you find this too difficult find substitutions that might work better.
Good luck everyone! This journey is tough, but nothing worth doing is ever easy. Xox
