How is everyone dealing with their scars? Does everyone have scarring still? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

AMAZING!!!!!!! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

Sorry just seeing this, I had VSG so different game entirely. Everything had to be sugar free, early on. The protein supplements had to have 3 grams or less of sugar, fat, 150 cals or less and at least 15 grams of protein. That's a very narrow window. That was during the full liquid diet ,stage 1. Each following stage built on this in a little until I was eating only solids. But I'm still sugar free. I use stevia, occasionally splenda ,naturally occurring sugars in fruits (this is still not an ever day thing) and very rarely vacation and special occasion food (pastry, birthday cake or I'm my case birthday pancakes lol) I avoid sugar like its the plague and when I checked my logged foods today I consumed 20 grams, this includes lovely problematic watermelon...

The problem here is you are comparing your journey to theirs, your life to theirs. That's not going to work out, too much comparison. Comparison is the thief of joy. Let people live exactly how they want to if it does not quantifiably affect you day to day, tolerance. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

OMG La Leche League... The memories VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

I think discussing what should and should not be allowed on entitlement programs like SNAP but not other entitlement programs such as Farmers Aid seems to be polarizing and unfair. This seems to have the air of socioeconomic disparities and prejudice at its core. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

Any suggestions on brands/types that fit the best but don't make you feel like you're losing your breath? VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

Thanks!!!! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

True but I also believe that the ingredients added to common foods in America vary greatly from other countries... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

Anytime VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

You are going to want to stay under the total amount that was told to you...added or naturally occurring but you can diluted it with Water, bone broth, reg broth, or find a lower sugar product. This will be especially important post surgery to prevent dumping (RNY) and excess caloric intake (VSG) And its not a stupid question, be sure to ask your team for further clarity VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

OMG wouldn't touch their food with glovesVSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

I was in A LOT of pain, I ignored all of the comments that said it wasn't that bad , or I was hiking the next day. I knew that would not be me. I knew I was in for it. It was after all major surgery. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

Wow, so happy for you! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

Yes only true liquids together, but definitely consult your team for clarification on the whole eating and drinking process VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

Also the "pharmacies" seem to sell mostly self care products in Europe, but you can find Protein supplements and vitamins I recommend eating cheese, clotted milk, fruit, and maybe start probiotics before the trip to create an iron gut...have fun VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

I started probiotics fairly early in so that I could eat in foreign countries, and have better gut health but that being said, I basically eat the same menu as early on... I'm lazy VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

im crying into a bag of cheeze its...VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

Interesting, I will look into this! VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

I don't eat here but every time I walk past a Subway's it's smells like dirty gym socks while they are baking bread... WTF kind of bread is that... VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169

I suspected that may be where the road diverged for the posters, those who could physically handled the foods that were problematic and those who could not. Its like any other true addiction, you can't stay around it without risking relapse. VSG2017 HW 249 SW 238 CW 169
