Vareity Not Volume



Recommended Posts

Here is my blog post from today. It's about rethinking food in social situations

This is an excellent thought. The salads that I would make throughout this process (with a couple ounces of leftover meat for protein!) had maybe 10 g of half a dozen different veg in them - a bit of a hassle to chop all that for so little, but worth it for the variety.

A corollary to this would be quality over quantity. When my wife was going thru this a few years ago and was having problems tolerating ground beef, the doc suggested that many find filet to be a more tolerable alternative, and noted that many of his patients become gourmets post-op. With smaller quantities, it's easier to afford the good stuff!

I love variety......I also eat organic too. My stomach doesn't like those pesticides and preservatives in the food. And god knows what that **** is doing (or has done) to our bodies. :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
