Absolutely right!!!.. we have been told about the starvation mode way to often. And unfortunately many believe it still. I'd say get the fats n protein up and forget the bloody calories lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wtf..... really I'm not insured and paid upfront which was all up around $26,000. Where did the 100 grand come into it?.. I have never ever heard of that before Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

And do I miss carbs such as Vegemite on toast and buttered rolls n biscuits with a cuppa????? Absobloodylootly!!!.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I eat very little carbs that only come from Vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage or spinach and What ever carbs are in cottage cheese or yogurt. I keep my Protein up and eat tuna or chicken or beef mince at every meal which are 3 times a day.. I keep my fats up which are from olive and coconut oil, avocado and what ever is in the dairy n meats. I don't eat fruit unless occasionally it's a half a banana in a Protein Drink. I will not be eating breads, rice, Pasta or grains ( maybe a few grains) for as long as I can.... I have been reading up on Dr Eric Berg whom explained a hell of a lot on ketosis.. and for me it will be the way to go. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How on earth do you have the time for all that??. LolThat would do my head in. I remember whilst doing bodybuilding eating 5 meals and that was shit enough. 3 for me is more then enough to think about lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

For my pre op diet I used Optifast shakes , optifast bars , Soups , and Desserts.... I'm not sure of any other plans. Although I can imagine if u lived on salads and little Protein with NO carbs at all!!..... u would have the same Liver shrinkage. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 5-6 weeks out and I understand your wanting to eat or graze. They have taken some of your stomach not your brain lol I only ( try) to eat 3 meals a day and one snack. Grazing and eating 5-6 meals although small is how I got to where I was .... we don't need that constant supply of food and it's ok and good for your stomach to feel a hunger.

As another person said here ... only you know what is best for you and your health!... And if you thinking smoking is it well awesome. Nothing can be harder then quitting the addiction to "foods" that we need to be around 24/7 to survive. At least with smoking you don't need it to survive.
