True stevia is plant based and it doesn't work like usual artificial sweeteners. It is good for you. As usual moderation in all things. Hope this helps. I have been using it for years and won't use anything else. Have a great day now. Judy In Virginia

Believe me there is HOPE! I have suffered from hypothyroidism for years. Endocrinologists, specialists in this field have told me straight to my face that this is the drug the company tells me to give you and walk out of the office never to return. I got cancer. Just a week ago I paid $125.00 to get a better test done in a…

:flowerforyou: Hello, my name is Judy and I had a gastric bypass in 1999. I am back on program and my Nutritionist just told me to loose I have to consume no more than 1050 calories a day. Every time I try to update my numbers, this site keeps putting in other numbers. It is confusing and I am about to opt out of this…

:flowerforyou: You must feel terrific about yourself young lady. You are a beautiful woman and believe that about yourself. You are fearfully and wonderfully made by your creator. Please share with me what your doing. I need a good lunch idea. Got to run and eat something now. Have a great day and stay faithful and true to…

Please share with me a little bit about your journey. I realize we all are different, but you had bypass like me and have had your own set of struggles. I thought that perhaps I couldn't loose because I got off the program a few years back and started eating the junk again. I have seen weight come off in two weeks. Maybe…

Yes, I had the surgery 13 years ago because the doctors told me I had to loose 50 lbs. before they would fix my low back and I couldn't exercise or hardly walk as my facet joints went away. Thus I was the first person to experience this surgery with a major hospital here in Virginia. I lost 96-100 lbs. only to marry, my…

Hi there, and yes they can.....There are many reasons why you crave the wrong kind of carbs. Are you eating enough protein? This is extremely important. Your body is deficient of something. For me it is the protein. I also found out if I drink some kind of green drink like barley green, it takes those cravings away. When…

You get what you pay for to be sure....I have a Champion Juicer but it is does require disassembling and washing and keeping it clean is very important. Any thing you do good for yourself usually require a lot of work and some things we may not like at first. But wait until you see the results and in the end, you won't…

Hello, my name is Judy and I will comment on the juicing issue: The best I ever felt was when I juiced for a week. Unfortunately, I had been operated on for weight loss and this wasn't something I should have done because my heart did something odd and I ended up in the E.R. I found out that juicing gives your vital organs…

If you give up you won't ever know what is the real issue here! Please fill out a complete food diary each day. Allow another person to review it, even a trained Nutritionist if you can afford this. You know your body better than any one. If you don't eat adequate good protein, you will get hungry, feel less energetic and…

My sister just had gastric bypass and she uses it for her protein drink. It is great as far as I am concerned. You can just shake it up in your milk; whatever kind you use and it is smooth,creamy and no after taste. Hope this helps. Judy

I would advise you to see your family physician or a good Nutritionist. Personally, 1200 calories isn't enough for a person who hasn't had a stomach reroute like me. This is my daily goal and I do it just fine. It takes planning. However, if you haven't had a gastric bypass, again, see a Nutritionist. Some times I see them…
