Exactly my thoughts...

Yea....pepperoni in the microwave for 30 sec....ends up crispy. I use it as chips for dipping cheese yummm

I cycle between low carb and ketogenic. The more I spend doing keto the less time I want to spend doing anything else. I was having trouble getting below 140 but since I have been back on keto I have no cravings, my skin laxity has improved tremendously..my face is tighter everything is tighter. & I am 139.2 as of this…

My surgeon no longer does lap band either because of future complications and stomach erosion. He seems to think that any bariatric surgeon still performing the band is expecting to do another future surgery Ie sleeve or bypass in the future for correction within 1-2 years

Different people can tolerate different amounts of protein and still stay in ketosis. Your activity level really matters. For example, I eat around 80 to 100 grams of protein a day while I'm doing keto and it works great for me. I find that when I go lower than that on my protein I really don't feel well. No amount of…

I keep hearing about MorningStar Farms black bean burgers. I'm going to have to get some of those. I hope they have a good amount of protein

I have no heartburn issues whatsoever. I drink coffee every morning on an empty stomach, Dairy, whatever... Every person is different. For me, I have zero heartburn. I am 6 months out

Do you want to know what's even more frustrating than that? Is if you offer advice to someone and they don't take it, and you have a PhD in Biochemistry with area of research on metabolic disorders. The truth is, we live in a day and age where Google is King. Everyone thinks that every opinion is just as valuable as…

I was self pay. 1 psyche clearance. 1 pcp clearance. wait time < 3 weeks. If you have that option, take it.

I'm almost 6 months out...some days I eat 900 other days 1400 it fluctuates with my exercise

Just hang in there ....it's normal for the body to auto correct. ... Stay the course, take whole food supplements and perhaps supplement a little extra fat as needed PS thyroid check may be beneficial

I understand. Sometimes when I sit down to grade papers or to do work I immediately feel that I must get up and eat something. It's funny, after surgery is the first time I really noticed that it is a Escape mechanism. Whenever I feel stressed or intimidated or like I can't do something or I just can't take it.... my…

that little cream frother is amazing

I agree with fit_chikx. For me personally I have to concentrate on my protein and put it in my fitness pal. Most of the time, honestly, when I'm training hard, a lot of my meals are 5 oz of fish or other Seafood.. And that's it. For me personally that makes me feel great

Ditto on garber6th

For me, personally, I find that CICO only counts if I am not eating a low carb high(er) fat diet.

ooooooh......not touching the CICO debate. It not that amusing in the classroom either. Yet students will fight with a minute amount of knowledge as long as you will let them or until the popcorn is gone. The truth is biochemistry doesnt follow the laws of thermodynamics in a uniform way for most people....So to SOME…

Aztec... I still can't see what your writing perhaps you have your settings on MyFitnessPal put to Hitler level

Yea...it's totally free and you get to choose the seasoning!! So. Freakin. Delicious.

So if you want some steamed and seasons fish crab shrimp Etc just go to Whole Foods to the seafood case and ask them and they will do it for you and it is amazing amazing amazing! And relatively inexpensive in comparison to going to a restaurant. Today I went in and got some fresh wild halibut with tequila lime season…

Yea...I find its easy to get bored with food now....I am still doing some orgain or other protein shakes because of this reason. Definitely different than before surgery. On the bright side, Whole Foods will Steam and season any fish or seafood item of your choice for free!

Angryviking, That sounds great! I think I might get some of those MorningStar Farms black bean burgers unless they have a lot of carbs in them

nuts over fish...I found them on amazon and Im ordering the macadamia! Thanks! Ill let you know how it goes over with the Hubby

@bedtime: mix potassium salt(grocery store), calcium citrate, and magnesium (natural calm granules)

Deli-box sounds good...I might try that today. I've kind of lost to taste for fat for some reason. So right now I'm really enjoying fish and shrimp and vegetables that are steamed and stuff like that. I think I'll put some lemon juice in with your recipe!

I think a lot of people early on after having vsg struggle with some very serious regret. I don't mean regret as having the surgery but regret that they spent so many years being so overweight and missing out on a lot of things. In that way, regret is a horrible thing. And I've decided that I'm going to move on with my…

Someone was talking about taking hard boiled eggs and mixing them in with some honey mustard some banana peppers and some cherry tomatoes and maybe olives. Does that sound good to anyone? I think I might try it I'll add a little celery to it

Thanks guys!... Aztec and Jeffries I can't see what you guys commented.

She doesn't have surgery until the 18th of july

Well you guys are too far from me....:( Gamommy I hope you are feeling great!
