What is the 5 day meat test. It's been a long time since I've been on site.

I was vegetarian for a long time and changed to vegan last year and I'm still trying to figure out how to get my nutrition right. I drink protein shakes to up my protein as well as eating veggie "meat" products and beans. I've had been too heavy on the carbs but I'm working on cutting back. I'm coming back from a large post surgery weight gain that started when I was 7 years out and so far I've lost 40lbs of the regained weight. Being vegan is important to me for many reasons and I'd like to continue to eat ths way. I have my yearly post op visit with the surgeon in August so I'll see how my bloodwork looks. It's a work in progress at this point but I'm sure it will all fall in place.

How long do most of you wait between meals. My doctor's office wants me to have 4 meals/day, 1/2 cup per meal total. I've been trying to wait 4 hours between meals. Does that sound reasonable? I'm 18 days post surgery.
Low fat diet usually means high sugar diet. I recommend a documentary called "That Sugar Film"
Hidden sugars in most foods make us hungry all the time. It is a trap. I cut all sugar from my diet and lost 30lbs since April 1st.
I eat at least 1500 calories a day, and I am not hungry between meals from all of the blood sugar fluctuation.
Thank you for sharing.... I can totally relate. And GREAT job getting back on track!!
I have to deal with the dieticians in my surgeons office 3 times now. Once before surgery, once after surgery and again in another month. I've had to call them 2X for clarification and questions. They are the MOST DIFFICULT people to communicate with ever! One will beat around the bush answering my question and the other one giggles (yes she giggles) every time I try to talk to her. It is very, very, very, difficult to communicate with the one as she will not give me a chance to finish my question. I've tried to ask her the questions in different ways thinking it was me, but no matter how I word the question, she gives me an answer that doesn't make sense! I've even told her directly that she's hard to communicate with and is not answering my questions so then she argues with me.
The other dietician actually giggles with every thing I say. Drives me crazy. It's so frustrating.
I am a sugar addict. There I admitted it. It is what got me into trouble in the first place. And it almost got me into trouble again.
Thankfully I came across a documentary called "That Sugar Film" Now I understand how sugar affects me and why I am always hungry when I eat foods with sugar in them. It is available on Amazon Prime if you have that.
My gastric bypass was on 9-1-2011 I dropped 160lbs. Earlier this year I had gained 35lbs back. April 1st I cut all sugar from my diet and I lost 30lbs so far.
I just wanted to share if anyone else is looking for a way to get back on track.
