I was told if you subtract the carbs from the Fiber you get the "net carbs" so lets say it says 21 carbs and 11 fiber your net carbs are 10... Meaning only 10 g carbs... Anyone else hear of that???

I was on a Quest for healthy comfort food recipes last night and found this:

I used a small Mission Carb Balance flour tortilla (80 calories' date=' 13 carbs but 9 grams of fiber so really not bad, 3 grams of protein), about a tablespoon of the avocado sauce and crammed 3 ounces of the chicken onto the taco. It was light and bright and crunchy and absolutely delicious (and the 9 year old loved it). We didn't have ancho chili seasoning so I used lawry's fire roasted chile and garlic seasoning.

Per MFP-1 soft taco with 3 ounces chicken was 263 calories and 26 grams of Protein, 19 carbs but again 9 of those were fiber..... Definitely going on my favorites list!!!

Fish again. I love the fish but I don't know if eating it every day is good. It's my go to meal when nothing else interests me, which seems to be most nights. I bought a couple crab cakes to try tomorrow.

I've been eating alot of fish too. Probably between lunch and dinner 5-6 times a week. I know there's a mercury issue but I eat so little I don't think it's a problem for me. Also I heard somewhere that it can up your ureic acid possibly causing gout. But again I eat so little I'm not sure if it would be an issue.

I know what you mean. Overeating is no longer an issue is it? Lol

I had a cheeseburger. I mean...pre op it would have been small...but I ate it. Then felt totally disgusting. I cringed as I stepped on the scale this morning. Ready to take whatever punishment was rightfully deserved after such a gluttonous meal...down TWO POUNDS! That proves that sometimes the scale is going to do whatever it's going to do...

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
