Because of health problems (pcos, hypothyroidism, starving mode-hyperemesis during pregnancy, etc) , I follow a low carb diet and I make my own chocolate bars with unsweetened chocolate, liquid stevia, vanilla and nuts.

  • I had the sleeve in October of 2012. I lost 90 and then got pregnant. I was eating 500 calories a day and during pregnancy ate 1500 (religiously, plus I had hyperemesis and threw up 20+ times a day) and gained 60 pounds. The surgery totally screwed my metabolism and now I'm doing Keto because regular calorie deficit…

  • I too have suffered from eating disorders (bingeing, and bulimia) I never really lost weight but I remember one thing that helped was an "exchange" diet. For example, breakfast was 1 protein exchange, 1 fruit exchange and 1 carbohydrate exchange. Then I had a list of the different exchanges. I could pick and choose and not…

  • Sorry for the stupid question, but by does dairy free mean egg free too? I know it can go both ways...either way, Google Jamie Eason protein bars. She has a chocolate, a lemon and a pumpkin bar.

  • Hello, I had the gastric sleeve done in October 2012 and lost 70lbs, then regained 60 (pregnancy caused me to lose all restrictions and being high risk I was in bed a lot). I'm now looking to lose 90 lbs and could definitely use friends. I keep my diary open for anyone to view. My mom and grandmother both had the bypass,…
