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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
