Topic: RE: Another Day Another Bike

Love the bike, Tazz...

I can absolutely totally relate to the loath of exercise. I'll walk the dogs cause it's good for them and a chance for me to get moving, I do house renovations cause I see progress. And yes, we have bikes but the house we are in now is not condusive to riding and a bike rake wasn't in the cards. Where we are moving to tho is gonna be great. Now if I can just get dh back on it too.

Topic: RE: OT low blood preasure

Candy, were you still in normal range pre-op or on BP meds? That also affects just how low you can get.

Example, I was never on BP meds, mine ran normal all my life...high normal but normal (130/80 typically). Now I'm doing good to get 100/65.

Dh, on the other hand, was on two BP meds to keep his in normal (125/80). Now he typically runs 120/70 with no meds.

So where you started from is a part of where you end up...and yes, too low can be an issue IF it is causing you problems...if not, just enjoy it. And SMILE! Lowered BP is a NICE side effect of the surgery.

Google "fat bomb recipes". Basically it's butter, coconut oil, and other things mixed together and kept in the freezer. If you use cocoa powder, peanut butter, cream cheese, and sweetener of choice it tastes like a cross between fudge and a Reece's cup.

Tonight I made a lemon creme version. Used extra butter, added lemon juice and lemon peel and stuck it in the freezer. I make 1 inch squares and can manage about 4 a day. Fat grams about 14-20, almost no carbs, and very little protein. Some people put them in paper cups, others used ice trays, I stuck the whole pan in the freezer til it was good and solid.

Coconut oil makes it very smooth and is good for you.

This is mainly to avoid constipation in someone going very low carb.

Playing in a new decade...congrats.

I'm getting my chocolate fix in the fat bombs...and since I use cocoa powder and sweeten with honey...it's not too bad.

Thank you, Linda. While at the grocery store getting my steak, I got a dessert...some banana pudding. It is a serving of 2, made 4 out of it. :)

First, congrats on breaking your stall.

Second, steer him AWAY from the lapband...it has the LOWEST effectiveness of any. And the highest revision rate. And to be honest, if my options had been the lapband or nothing...I would have stayed FAT. My PCP would not recommend me for surgery if I had wanted the lapband.

Have him read the regrets and revision boards..

Yeap...my version of low carb is 90-110 cause I count ALL carbs not just net carbs. I've added more fat to help the constipation. And only the last 2-3 days with no protein coffee cause I ran out...got it today.
