Slightly controversial drink (wine, spirit, beer) poll
Kalimomof3 replied to Fiddleman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I like Riesling and Moscato but I have had a hard one finding it without fizz ... I have had a couple sips of Lambic Beer. I have yet to try tequila post sleeve but I want to try a shot or two . I only really drink socially and even then it is 1x per month or less -
I am talking total carbs I use MFP to track my intake.Idk what classifies as "low carb" but anyone who does no carb or extreme low carb can lose weight and quickly. I know for a fact if I was able to eliminate 99% of my carbs in the first place I would not have needed surgery . I did not do this surgery to be no carb/extreme low carb for life
-
Ps even with eating fruit and veg my carbs are at around 80g per day which is the amount my surgeon indicated as optimal.

I limit bad carbs like breads,pasta rice etc... But I eat fruit and vegetables in addition to my protein. It is all healthy and IMO unhealthy to cut it out. My nutrition program may be different than some of the ones others are working with in that they don't only deal with WLS patients. They recommend not eliminating any healthy foods but limiting some of them. Now this may be the reason I don't lose as fast but I am happy with my results thus far and feel like I am doing it in a way that is reasonable and sustainable for me.

Honey Wheat....I found some and they are YUMMY ! I don't dig strawberry as much though:|

Really? They have them at all the HEBs I have been to recently and they are not a brand new item I am in San Antonio and they are over in the Health and Natural Foods section... Do you have a Central Market near you?They would probably have them too.

I wish I had seen this earlier I just got rid of a ton...I would however take the Salvation Army suggestion. I went in after donating what I needed to get rid of and was surprised to find some really cute dresses for $5.99 each I bought 4 and have worn 2 so far and received a ton of compliments on them:) -

Kalimomof3 replied to Fiddleman's topic in Food and Nutrition
The one brand of bottled dressings I like is not good on numbers either at least it is low carb and I use 1/2 serving . It is called Cindy's Kitchen it is sold at Whole Foods by the bottle but they also use these on their salad bar which is how I first tried it . My husband loves the Chipotle Ranch and I must say it is pretty good. -

I have the cheap $39 Tanita but I think I am going to splurge on the higher end one that does the fat % that my old WL Clinic used. Or the Fit Bit Aria?? -
When I was banded they told me I wouldn't be hungry either...
Kalimomof3 replied to marfar7's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I really haven't heard any of the long time sleevers 1yr+ say they never get hungry but idk...I know that I do and it is real bc I only ever experience that true hunger feeling when I haven't eaten for long periods .Other times it is just wanting to put something in my mouth -

Kalimomof3 replied to bringiton's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine is in the same spot always and it does this depending on where I put my feet I always step on it 3 times and take the middle number or if the same number shows up twice then I use that one:) -

Kalimomof3 replied to Fiddleman's topic in Food and Nutrition
I make ranch from packet with canola mayo and skim milk...I just can't use bottled dressings unless it is a vinaigrette.I am not a huge dressing user in the first place so when I use it 1 tablespoon is plenty . Instead of dressing I also like to use a fresh lemon with a little salt sprinkled on my salad .I can only do about 2 oz moist chicken if I am having salad but I still have to wait about 10 mins after I eat my protein to be able to eat salad too:) -

Kalimomof3 replied to marfar7's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am about 6 months out..I do feel hungry if I don't eat for more than a few hours but it doesn't take much for the feeling to subside about 1-2 ounces lean meat or if I am eating something less dense like yogurt 6oz of food:) After that I am good for a few hours. I do have head hunger sometimes but is not actual hunger just boredom so I find something to do:) -
