Garlic WARNING!!!!



Recommended Posts

Is there anything better then pan roasted garlic ? you bet, MORE pan roasted garlic.

well before being banded i could eat a pound of the good stuff, now not so much.

yesterday i ate only a few small cloves of this tasty treat. and last night found that it now creates a very big problem. it was never a problem in the past but now,,,, :bananapowerslide:

:painkiller:

even the dogs didnt want around me. :)

so just like a glass of wine or a shot of vodka, a little goes a long ways.

yep its a gross topic but it is what it is.

It doesn't matter what I eat anymore.... just the thought of food makes me gasssssssssy beyond belief. And trying to hold em in all day long at work is a challenge, but one good thing is when I get to goal, I'll have tight butt cheeks :eyebrows:

Its not a gross subject...not in Bandland lol.

The gas isnt a problem,unless im right in front of someone (unless i want to clear a line) i just let em riiiiiiiiippppppppp. its the new and improved smell from smaller amounts of stuff thats killing my family.(and my dogs)

i used to be able to drink a fair amount of tequila with no problem, now two or three shots and im hammered. :faint:

I wonder if i can ever eat pickeld eggs again ? :heh:

Funny how a band around the stomach changes the body's reaction to some foods. Egg salad now leaves me doubled over in pain from gas. What the heck!

ROFL

This thread is too funny. First of all, LOVE garlic, and it's so good for you too.

The band makes you gassy? Cripes I'm already like a baloon deflating pre band. If I wasn't so fat I'd be hitting the walls with deflation.

It's going to get worse??

:target: What is it with egg salad? ! Got stuck and pain!! I thought it would be perfect, but no way - and this was before my last fill. There is no way I would try it now. Garlic I would and will do in a heartbeat, problem is I like it on bread and there is nooooooooooooooo way I'm going there. Oh the memories!!

Garlic hasn't bothered me yet.

But anything Soy? Oh my. Unfortunately, the Protein bars I eat are mostly soy based (South Beach).

Good thing I have my own office :target:

I think egg salad is great -- I can actually eat it now, but not other kinds of eggs -- go figure. I do know that sometimes mayo is the culprit in tummy pains though -- I use miracle whip -- have you tried that?

EEEWWW - Miracle Whip is terrible to me! I grew up on mayo and my hubby grew up on Miracle Whip, so we have both in the frig. Can't stand the stuff. I'll just stick with tuna and chicken salad - the boiled eggs just don't agree with me. Don't have problems with eggs cooked scrambled or over easy, go figure!?!?!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
