Carbs, carbs and more carbs



Recommended Posts

Hello, I have not been on as much as I used to. Really just checking in. Feel like this is a place I can vent. I am a little over 1 year out, and holding at 165lbs, that's 103lbs down, very grateful. I just seem to be slipping some, not using my fitness pal, like I was, still eating more carbs then i should. I mean what is it with these carbs, so addicting, and the more I eat the more I want, really like a drug they say. Any tips how to stay away. My fist 6-8 months I was the model sleeve patient. Followed the diet to a T, then back to some carbs, finally after 7 week stall, stopped them, lost 9 lbs in 2 weeks, then back to carbs. Not junk, more like, bread, Pasta and crackers. Would like to lose 20 more lbs, but we shall see where this body goes, with my help of course. Good luck to everyone, and for those veterans any tips would be much appreciated.

I eat a fair amount of carbs, but in a calculated way. It's certainly true that carbs breed carbs. You need to always be putting your Protein first. Are you eating carbs at the expense of protein or in addition to your protein?

I do eat my Protein, usually 100 gms a day, so the carbs are in addition to protein. Hard to stop, but recently lost another 2 lbs, this body has a mind of it's own, but grateful

At 165 your body may just be where your body wants to be. How tall are you? Are you at a healthy weight?

How much of a struggle do you want to have to get those last few pounds if they are just for vanity?

Just a thought.

      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! 😞
