Though we often get negative reaction about the route we chose to take towards a healthy long life...more often than not we forget about the positive impacts our life choices can make on others.
My story is about my grandfather, a 71 year old man with an ABUNDANCE of health problems stemming from major injuries while in the Air Force accompanied by a number of co-morbidities like sleep apnea and joint pain just to name a few - who has decided to go full force to achieve gastric bypass surgery because he is so impressed with my success 8 months out.
This blew my mind! I am SO happy for him and enthusiastic about helping him through every step of getting and being successful with his new life and body. I am also in awe of his bravery. Just goes to show that you're never too old or sick to change your life and health forever!
I will most likely be posting his story if anyone is interested. I'm just SO SO proud!
Currently he is waiting to get his psych eval, a gal bladder ultra sound and more meetings with his nutritionist. Seems like only yesterday I was doing the same things.

Remember before surgery - when someone would snap a picture of you and when you saw it you'd think "oh my god am I really THAT big? It can't be." ? How you always looked bigger is photos than you thought you did in real life? [which we all know now unfortunately was not the case]
Well the same thing happens to me now but the opposite. I'm constantly thinking I need to lose more and I'm still a pudge but sometimes people or even I will take photos of me and I don't recognize the girl on the photo. As per example, I NEVER thought my arms were thin and would ya look at this picture I took yesterday:
Finally starting to love myself and the results of this surgery! 8 months out and will never turn back

1. Gall bladder removal has zero to do with dumping.
2. Dumping is generally not painful, rather a horrible feeling if being run down and weak and nauseous.
3. You don't dump if you haven't had WLS so I have no idea what you're experiencing but it's definitely not that.

Detoxing will restart your body and not make you want the crap food once you're done.

I used "miracle noodles" which have the same nutrition facts as Water (I swear it tastes and has the exact same texture as real noodles, really is a miracle) with Tomato sauce (9 carbs and 5g of sugar and 2g of Protein for a 1/2 cup) and parmesan cheese and mushrooms and green Beans and meatballs and I am in shock how it tastes exactly like spaghetti and meatballs I had pre-op. The amount it came out to be will feed me for a week and it has so much protein-y goodness because of the meatballs (I put in a lot.) So happy!!!

Doesn't have Protein. Yes, starch is bad. Starch will always be bad. And the fact that there is 0 fat or sodium indicates to me that those nutrition facts are for popcorn without butter - which I doubt most people would be eating.

OH! And in the last picture I'm at the county fair - the SAME county fair who kicked me off a ride for being too big. Needless to say this experience was WONDERFUL and zero pain was involved with me being pinched in seats. I could hoist myself up with such ease and I fit in everything. It was amazing.
- Kaylee Ann ~ Surgerversary 6/11/2012

It's starch and carbs and will turn into fat. There is zero nutritional value to popcorn

I don't even think I'd call this a 'recipe' since it's so simple, but I just made it tonight and wanted to share.
I took 2.5 oz of shrimp, cut it up into 1/4ths and grated parmesan and smoked gouda over it after seasoning with garlic powder and fowl/fish seasoning then microwaved it for 30 seconds to get the cheese somewhat melted followed by broiling it for about 5 minutes or until it looked all melty and delicious. It was like shrimp mac n cheese

There is nothing nutritionally valuable in rice. Just carbs and fat. You really shouldn't be eating rice period.
