[jerz 251]

Yummy!

That was a major fail. Return to sender 5 mins after eating. I think i ate too fast or maybe it was the rice. Me and rice don't get along too well.

The physician's group where I had my surgery had all their patients on a low carb diet. 70% Protein and 30% veggies per meal (it's supposed to be a 2 oz meal, but my pouch has never worked for me so I'm trying to keep my meals to 6oz per meal...). We're not supposed to have more than 10g carbs per meal and no more than 20g carbs per day. They say this us necessary during the weight loss phase to keep us in ketosis. It doesn't seem to matter how much fat, we have per day. Anyone else on a similar diet? If not what are your specific diets? And does anyone know how to tell if you're in ketosis at this point without buying the strips? I'm past the point of having a metallic taste in my mouth, bad breath, and no appetite Ect...Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. I'm having a really hard time with this and even at 3 months out, I still regret having the surgery every day. My body just isn't seeming to work that way everybody else's does. I can eat way more than 2 ounces per meal, I can gulp my Water, drink through a straw, and I never get dumping syndrome even after I binged about a month and a half ago and ate 8 regular Cookies in one sitting. I posted about this awhile ago, and I got some great advice, but I'm still having such a hard time. I see my doctor this Monday, and I'm terrified that he'll just blow all my concerns off, or tell me that its head hunger, or whatever. Sorry this is so long.... I just really need some help and support. Thanks

I need to go to sleep.... I thought you ate 2 LBS of cottage cheese. Lol

[Char2013 10]

Even before surgery I couldn't have eaten that much cottage cheese! Lol!

[myjoshcait 40]

Oh my god! Anything that is not nailed down would be fine right now...... So stupid but I'm starving!!!!!! Have eaten far more than I've eaten in a very long time and still I'm wanting to stuff myself stupid........have to recognize emotional triggers sooner cause I'm sure my pouch is stretched the size of a normal stomach.....

I'd question your surgeon extensively if you have any questions. I'm 5onths out and can do about 3 oz a meal , depending on what I'm eating...soft foods more, hard Protein less. Stick to the dietary guidelines your team gave you, and log everything you eat.

[LilBoo007 491]

I would agree... Almost 7 months out and I could only eat 3 1/2-4oz. But since my stomach issues at the moment I'm lucky if I can handle 2oz... Which I'm sure is helping in my stall !

[sassy14 178]

Oh my! Just had the yummiest snack. Chobani Greek yogurt bits mint with dark chocolate. 100 calories, 8 G Protein, all natural ingredients. Perfect sweet snack.

[kjrny2013 33]

[bloreorbust 286]
