Topic: RE: Need cooking help about bacon grease
I've never had bacon grease go bad---but maybe that's because I use it up too fast. (*grin*)
I season veggies with it, I fry potatoes in it, I use it to make cornbread and biscuits, I---really, I can't think of any time one would use fat that bacon grease wouldn't work.

The only thing with cottage cheese is that it can be high in carbs
What kinda cottage cheese are you EATING? One cup of cottage cheese (full fat) has 5.5 grams of carbs, 5.3 grams of fat, and 27.1 grams of protein, for a total of 183.2 calories, 46.7 of which are from fat.
I'd call that very LOW carb.

Topic: RE: Veggies and DS
The only trouble I've had with any veggie was cooked cabbage, at about 8 weeks post-op. I could tolerate RAW cabbage just fine, but the cooked stuff gave me awful gas! I tried it again at six months post-op, and it was fine.
I eat quite a few veggies, mostly raw. And TONS of cottage cheese---I can eat that stuff straight out of the container, but it's HEAVENLY with sliced fesh tomatoes, fresh basil, salt and pepper to taste, and drizzled with olive oil.

In the RNY, they cut your stomach apart and staple it---VERY dangerous. And the 98% they don't use, they just leave inside you hanging there. UGH!!!

It's also the stomach portion of the DS, which should more properly be called the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy with Duodenal Switch---but that's too much of a mouthful. (*grin*)

Normally, I weigh about once every three months. I don't own any scales (mine died, and I haven't replaced them). I see my PCP quarterly and weigh then.

Just a little info to help you get along here---it's considered VERY BAD FORM to edit your posts for anything other than spelling or typos---it's like you're trying to re-write history.

Your surgeon's profile says he's done ONE BPD---not the same thing as a DS. Are you SURE what surgery you had?

Edit: I got her pict uploaded! I think it captures her pretty well. No one believes me when I say she drools on me, cuddles under the covers and gives me kisses all the time.I used to have a cat like that, named Hell. She had a sister just like, named Damnation. They were black Siamese---although they appeared coal black, when the light hit 'em just right you could see the Siamese 'points', and their heads were shaped like Siamese. Had that yowl-ly Siamese voice, too. They'd hiss and bite, even while twining about your legs and begging to be petted.
I miss that evil old thing.

Hello, my name is Michele and I am an iced tea addict. LOL
Michele We should form a club!
SF sodas I can't drink with much regularity I'd rather DIE than drink crystal light or country time "lemonade" type drinks, UGH gross.
So basically aside from water, a giant jug of cold brew iced tea is my go to for something to drink with flavor!
Count me in as a charter member. I've drunk about a gallon of tea each and every day since my DS over six years ago.
Ain't dead yet. (*grin*)

I have, nor have I ever had, problems with corn, or tortilla chips. I do eat nachos fairly often, but I eat a few chips with a LOT of beef, cheese, onions, tomatoes, etc.

Topic: RE: DS in Senior Years
When the time comes, if it does, that *I* can no longer take care of my daily vitamin and diet needs, then it's time for *me* to die. I sincerely hope that my mind and body both give out at the same time, because neither of them would be happy without the other.
The goal isn't to live forever, but to enjoy whatever life I'm given.

Ah---I remember thinking it was something I didn't have to worry about because I can't abide grapefruit juice, but I couldn't remember what the med was.
Nope, no statins for me! My last labs had my total cholesterol at 112. (*grin*)

5:00AM First dose of Iron taken with 1/2 cup unsweetened grapefruit juice.
7:30-8:00 AM First dose of vitamins taken with 1/2 cup unsweetened grapefruit juice.
12:00 - 1:00PM Second dose of vitamins taken with 1/2 cup unsweetened grapefruit juice.
5:00 - 6:00PM Second dose of Iron taken with 1/2 cup unsweetened grapefruit juice.
I know that the way I take the vitamins is probably not ideal and that I could get more out of them if I didn't take so many at once, but this way is a way I can do it without missing or forgetting most of the time.
How well it's working will be known soon, as I had blood drawn for my latest labs last week.

Okay, I misunderstood your first post. I thought you were taking IRON four times a day.
I may be mis-remembering about this, but there are some things you should NOT take with grapefruit juice. I don't know if any of them are vitamins, though. You might want to check into that, just in case.

Given your location Dr. Husted's the one I'd choose. Both Spaw and Houston are good surgeons, but not as experienced with the DS as Husted, nor as experienced with people with higher BMIs. Traveling 6-7 hours really isn't bad, and after your six-month check-up you can probably start doing all your follow-up stuff with your local PCP and faxing the results to Husted. That's what I've been doing for thw past several years.

I hope I don't get food poisoning!
Actually, the second time I was RELEIVED that it was *just* food poisoning, LOL! I had a hernia and it occassionally got incarcerated. I had the repair scheduled, but was told that if it got incarcerated and didn't slip loose on its own, I'd have to have an emergency, 'open' repair done.
I puked my guts out for about two hours, and went to the ER. I was *so* happy when the doc said it was *just* food poisoning!
