There sure are alot of low car people around here. I was eating low carb for a while' date=' but my carbs are up there now. Yesterday I took in 100 carbs...but since most of those are low glycemic carbs, I don't think they had any adverse affects. I've been eating alot of salads and drinking green shakes to get in more healthy nutrients. It pushes my carbs up but I feel so much better.[/quote']

I'd have to say if your gonna do carbs, that's the way to do it. I just ended a 2 week chocolate fest. Those damn Ghiardelli sea salt & almond bars got to me.

As far as the vet thing, I still don't consider myself a vet. Maybe once I hit the one year mark.

Hey guys...what do you put in your green shakes? My son does a morning smoothie with banana, frozen berries and spinach. Is it something similar, and is it strictly juicing (what you drink) or do you consume the entire fruit/veg pulp and all?

I've been away from this forum for way to long. Happy to see this new group. I felt lost with all the newbie questions before. I'm 18 months out and 23 or so lbs from goal. Been stuck for the past 6 months. I can't seem to get out of the 160's. And the holidays didn't help. I was at 158 for about a week before Christmas time, but gained and back up to 163.

Katie, I don't juice. I have a vitamix so I emulsify everything. I put in kale (because I'm allergic to spinach), other mixed greens, broccoli, baby carrots, asparagus, fat free Greek yogurt, chocolate Protein powder, frozen mixed berries, mango, peaches, spirulina, goji berries, chia seeds and Macao. Basically the whole kitchen. Anything that might add some nutrients that I'm not going to get eating meat, cheese and the other stuff sleevers typically eat.

Thanks for the info. Reminded me of when I was a kid, I used to like the Vitamix booth at the Los Angeles County Fair, they would throw evrything in but the kitchen sink and hand out little paper tasting cups, and no doubt, the concoction was always delicious and nutritious.

I have got to get myself a Vitamix....heard a Blendtec was a good brand too..apparently costco has the best price for a new Vitamix ...now if I could find a friend that has a Costco near them and I could go in there ..the nearest one to me is an hour away..can't justify a membership for 1 purchase...

Bed Bath and beyond had them for the same as Costco I think.

MTMW1975 on MFP got a ninja which are much cheaper. She says they work well too.

Love my ninja.

Why do you think my shakes are so good? Cause the damn vitamix was so expensive. It drops tiny microscopic bits of fairy dust into the shakes which help with weight loss and prevent thinning hair.

I've been really great!!! I was getting a bit down but managed to pick myself up well! I've really missed you but needed a little break from focussing too much on my weight before I have the sleeve to help me :)

We adopted a new kitten named Ginny for my bday and we are picking up a puppy on the weekend named Tess.

Just did massive exercise rearranging house to puppy proof and summer clean :)

I would love an update on all of you! Are you looking forward to surgerversary?! Met any goals recently? I didn't need an extension belt for plane in December! Yey! (Although, lol, I don't know if I ever did- first time on a plane since I was a kid ;) LOL but it's still a pleasant surprise!!!)

Did you know it was 115 degrees F in Sydney over the last couple of days?! Incredible!!!

Love you all!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
