I can eat carbs with no issue.” Bad” carbs it depends on quantity , when they are eaten and the day of the week. If I want cake I try to choose one that has whole meal or almond flour and nuts or fruit rather than a big sugary confection. I have had a small ice cream ( whilst on holiday) with no issue but I was extremely nervous when I ate it. Small quantities of chocolate don’t seem to affect me but then there are days where I have a small quantity of something or eat a healthy food like oats and the body decides no. The result is palpitations, shakes, a funny taste in my mouth and generally feeling yuck. As for alcohol I am now a very cheap drunk. Had 1 glass of sparkling wine last night and had to go to bed as it went straight to my head. Being too scared to try these kind of foods is probably a good approach.

I used the above calculation of weight ÷ 2.2 x .8 and it equaled 100 grams. Is that too much fluffy? I weight 277 right now.

Your calculation is incorrect hon. You are 5'6". So your ideal weight is assessed at 130lbs (100 for the first 5 feet and 5lbs for every inch over 100lbs = 100 + (5lbs X 6ins) = 130lbs. Now express your ideal weight in kg: 130lbs divided by 2.2kg/lb = 59kg Now figure your protein needs bases upon your health/activity/degree of athletic pursuit (most of us are average): 59kg X 0.8g/kg of protein = 47.2g of protein per day Now assume on average that there are about 7g of protein per OUNCE of dense protein by weight: 47.2g protein divided by 7g/ounce protein = 6.74oz protein (dense protein) by weight on a scale to satisfy that 47.2g of protein content per day. And anything above that is likely over-nutrition for most of us. But if you aren't average...then the recs go all the way up to 1.4g/kg of ideal body weight per day.

It could be a yeast infection.

Yay, you! before and after pics?

Congrats!! That's so exciting! Now get to walking!

I had to do the same thing. I'm with BCBS, and they have a Wellness program in which a nurse will coach you through the 6-month weight management program. Proof that you were in weight loss program like Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig for 6 months counts. There has to be proof. So, check to see if your insurance provider has a similar program.
