I won't even consider something like that until I'm on maintenance.

I wanted to try it as well. Pasta was one of my downfalls so I am afraid to try it. I ahve had a little Pasta since surgery' date=' I mean bites, and it doesnt sit well though. It is supposed to be ok carb wise.

Ok I jusg checked and there are 41 carbs minus the 5 Fiber. So 36 carbs. Way too much. I suppose it is lower carb compared to regular pasta but not nearly low enough for us![/quote']

Rice is more my pitfall and I haven't even had a grain lol but I was thinking of starting to use the dreamfields for ny husband and daughter too so thought maybe a spoonful would be ok lol

I was thinking about it after I posted yesterday. The little bit we eat wont be the 36 grams of carbs! Five or so bites would probably fill you up and you need some carbs in your diet. If you try it let us know how it is!

I don't eat Pasta, rice, potatoes or bread at all either. I have had a tortilla in a pinch....but otherwise ther only carb I have added in was a bit of fruit. I have a hard enough fitting in enough Protein. I don't have room for Pasta. Although, it would probably help me keep my calorie count up. Problem is I think it's a slippery slope.

Gonna have to google this one. No idea what protected carbs are. ;) Only grams would make it awesome though!

Had my 6 month appointment today. Bloodwork is fine, just need to cut down on B12 as it was too high. Otherwise I have done great with Vitamins. Weight was at 226 which is down 114 total and 77 from surgery. He said im at 67% of my excess weight gone! So they are very happy at my overall and said I am better than average for loss. Doesnt feel that way to me but I guess we go with the statistics! ;)

You look great! I know I have always felt slow like you. My doctor said the same thing... that I was ahead of average. Maybe slow and steady wins the race?

I should post a picture of my 6 month but honestly I think that there is someone here that I don't want to see my pictures. I haven't told many people about the surgery. Can you block one person?

You all need to look at magic noodle. I believe it's called that. The Quest website has them I do believe.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
