My go to breakfast is a simple scramble. This one is: 142g of Chicken Breakfast Sausage 7 oz of sliced zucchini 5 oz of sliced mushrooms 8 oz of Liquid Eggs (99% egg whites) Cals: 347 Carbs: 15 Fat: 6 Protein: 57

I had gastric bypass in 2003. By 2007, I had gained most of my weight back by not sticking to the diet. In the past year I have lost 100 lbs using the calorie counting method. It's not easy and takes dedication but you are worth it.

I'm not sure about the calorie part but from my experience, if you boil the bones for over an hour, they have given all they can give.

I have to agree with Radiii. I have gone almost completely carbless and have felt great. It has been 5 months since my diagnosis. I have lost 47 lbs and my blood sugars range from 90 to 115.

My biggest changes came with dropping all soda and sugared drinks. I only drink tea or water. I also dropped rice, pasta and bread. If you have any…

In the…

That is great! And good to know because my fasting glucose is also my highest. I am not on medication, trying to control with diet and weight loss.
