Can We Catch A Break Here? New Study: Weight-Loss Surgery Increases Risk Of Alcohol Addiction
DeAna N replied to tanqueray's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes just saw this but the study is for RNY(bypass surgery) s the study wasn't about using other vice because of food addiction( which is still common hence the requirement for the Psych evaluation) but bypass patient. Get a quick high because it is pushed to the small intestines really fast were is is absorb very quickly I think my temptation would be the shopping I already enjoy it(too much) sk I already put things in place to keep that in check -

make sure you are drinking lots of Water if your body starts to dehydrate it wont let go of any fat for every lb of fat there is water also I truely believe if you go the liver shrinking diet it has to be low carb target for around 30g daily (like the theory behind Atkins) most of the protien drinks have too many carbs do find a lower one if you body has an abundance. Of carbs it wont have to burn your stored fat this is what my nutritionist explained to me

Woohoo I Found A Protein Shake I Like
DeAna N replied to DeAna N's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I buy mine at Walmart they are inexpensive compared to the majority of the Protein drinks I have started replacing one meal a day for now then when I start my pre- op I go to two shake replacement meal one meal of lean Protein & non starchy vegis. Then surgery....post surgery I do all liquids for one week then start adding mushies for. Two weeks then slowly add soft foods so I only have one week of only liquids -
