Ive been reading obesity books and the conclusion i have is that carbs make you fat and theres no proof that dietary fat causes heart disease. carbs increase your insulin which tells the body to store fat. a diet that is less than 30 grams of carbs daily preferably 20 grams. However, carbs are essential for the body to process Protein correctly otherwise you go into whats called ketosis which is not good at all. I myself follow a low fat low carb lean protein diet. without the excess carbs the body uses the fat to use as energy which is preferable. Listen the food companies are out to make money by creating an epidemic of obese americans. theres too much money involved to correct it and it definitely is political as well. before refined products such as four and sugar like 150 years ago there was no such thing as these current diseases including heart disease and diabetes. for thousands of years people lived off a high fat meaty diet and there was none of these western diet diseases to speak of. Its up to the individual to educate themselves on obesity and the local library has all the books on it for free. the food pyramid is wrong to this current day is tells you your biggest daily intake should be carbs and its killing people.

"back in the day" everyone was outside more... people did more manual labor, kids were outside playing/running...now, we have all become sedentary, sitting behind our computers etc; so that doesn't help our modern day world at all either!

If you're eating a low fat, low carb and lean Protein diet...you are or will be going into ketosis.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
