Not sure if that question is to me, but I'll answer just in case. Basically, I can only eat a few ounces at a time. My meals I eat mainly Protein which is basically carb free and then I snack on cheeses and I consider cottage cheese mixed with Greek yogurt as dessert. Like I said though, I can't eat much at all so sometimes it's just a few bites and I have to come back to it for a snack.

I don't have hunger or cravings or I'd eat other things I'm sure. So far I've lost my appetite for sweets.. Including ice cream, which I would eat by the tub full.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I have to just eat more meat and cheese haha. :)

Loseitsoon & kalimomof3 is that net carbs you are stating or total carbs? Thanks

Also is there a certain amount to which ones diet is considered "low Carb" like under 100g a day is in the low carb category or what classifies as being officially a "low carb" diet?

I am talking total carbs I use MFP to track my intake.Idk what classifies as "low carb" but anyone who does no carb or extreme low carb can lose weight and quickly. I know for a fact if I was able to eliminate 99% of my carbs in the first place I would not have needed surgery . I did not do this surgery to be no carb/extreme low carb for life :)

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

      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! 😞
