Topic: protein content list?
When I started my banded-life, I had a neat little book giving all the protein contents of foods. I haven't counted anything for ages and suddenly realised today when i did a spot check , that I am massively under-eating as far as protein is concerned.
And I can't find that book. I can go and buy another but anyone know of a nice
easy-to-use list online? I did google it but nothing really simple came up - just places to chart intake like fitday (I just want a list with values) or sites which gave branded foods (i just want generic things like "milk", "roast beef").

Topic: RE: DFW DINNER W/ SPECIAL VIP GUEST
I am going to try to make during my dinner break. Save me a seat Tanya. I probably won't eat, but would love to visit even if its just for a minute. Looking at the map, I should be able to make it in about 20 minutes if traffic isn't terrible.

Topic: RE: VBLOC Therapy?
Oh... this is like the pacemaker for the stomach idea. I know some patients of my surgeon that tried it at a university study and failed. They lost maybe 20-30 pounds and that is it. It's a good idea though... maybe if they refine it, it will work
Topic: RE: Confession...
I guess it is just cathartic to get it off my chest. It's good to admit to those guilty feelings (even if they are not justified as some pointed out!). I know that starting fresh is a good thing and I had a long talk with Sally today and it was great to talk with her about all this. She suspected that my weight loss, exercise habits, and whatnot were not that healthy and until I "admitted" everything, she wasn't going to say it to me. We talked about how my body did not respond well to the weight loss (10 pounds/month on average) and the intensity of exercise. Everyone is different. We talked about diets, metabolism problems, etc. I was diagnosed years ago with prediabetes and we talked about glucose control and whatnot. So, it was nice to just talk about all this, get it off my chest, and know what I cannot do to my body.
So... thanks for listening and offering support!

Thanks! This has been something that has bothered me for many, many months and I guess I just had to get it off my chest so I can move forward. Thanks for listening!

Honey, I don't think you have anything to confess, or feel guilty about! I'm sure exercise, can become compulsive, just like food, or anything else! The thing to do now, is put it out of your mind, and think positive, as you are so close to your surgery, and it is going to be GOOD!~Put all of that behind you, and start fresh! We love you no matter what, so YOU start feeling better about YOU, hon!~
Topic: RE: Good, or bad, FOOD time!
I'm SO glad you enjoyed your birthday, hon! I'm sure it did you good, with all the *rap you've gone through the last year!
