  • So well said. Mine loved me fat, he loved me thin, he loves me fat again. He loves me, not the body I am in. He does not sabotage me. There is respect for what I am trying to do. What more can I ask of him? I can only give the same respect back, I will love him fat, I will love him thin, or anything in between. I will not…

  • I had my RNY in 2004 at 283. As is normal, dumped about 80 lbs in the first year. Gained back ten, buckled down and lost the 10 plus another 20 over the next couple of years until I got down to 180. I;m only 5'4", but was pretty happy there, and so was the doctor. Then beginning of the year 2011 I entered into an all…

  • The acidic foods could definitely be causing it. I had a similar thing happen to me. I went to the dr one day sure something major was wrong, I was in so much pain. The verdict was pre-ulcer, whatever that is. Put me prilosec and I am much more careful about putting anything on my stomach that might irritate it. ALWAYS…

  • In some places in the US there is a sub chain called Jimmy Johns. I just discovered their Unwich. They basically take a sub and wrap it in lettuce instead of using bread. My lunch, the Bootleggers Club (roast beef, turkey and cheese) came in at 342 calories and 4 grams of carbs! (actual carbs, not net carbs) And, they…

  • I love those mozzarella and salami rolls for snacks. Half a roll, 4oz comes in at 160 calories, 6g of fat and 10g of protein. Sliced thin I can munch and not feel guilty. They are even good on a salad.

  • Hello kindred souls. So glad I found a group who gets what I am going through. My name is Pat and I am a 55 year old mother of two adult sons and a grandmother to a wonderful little boy and girl. In 2004 at 285lbs (5'4") I had a RNY. My surgeon takes a conservative approach to the surgery so the first 80 lbs melted off and…

  • This is what I did. Net calories: 1500 Carbs: 5%-19g Protein: 40% 150g Fat: 55%-92g Now, I don't always make all the numbers. MFP just isn't designed for Atkins. I do strive to keep the carbs under 20 (actual carbs, not net carbs) and my nutritionist wants my protein to be no lower than 75g, I try to shoot for at least…
