I Feel Like A Freak... Kind Of
The topic was protein... didn't learn much there... but I was soo surprised in the conversations about those who have had surgery even more recently talking about eating pasta, rice, potatoes, and breads...
I'm not meaning to offend anyone either by posting all this... but being a month out and eating pasta, rice, and all that stuff just seems crazy to me. I am almost 5 months out and I have not eaten pasta or rice and have only had 2 bites total of bread. We all have different paths.. Mine doesn't include that kind of stuff..
I don't know the last time I went I felt like an outcast because I was literally the youngest one there by about 15 - 20 years... Now I feel like a freak because I seem to be the only one NOT eating that type of stuff... and I DO NOT INTEND TO ANYTIME SOON!
Who the heck knows.. I'm pretty sure I'm over analyzing this...

You Freak!
Your just starting another carb war !!!!
OK...... your not starting another carb war.......but a Freak???? (you know I'm kidding cause your kiddable!)
Ultimately it's about your surgeons program on carb consumption.
Support groups are supposed to be educational....sure the further out you get.....you pick up less.... But your supposed to learn something......or share......
That said, I have heard many times on this board about janky support groups. I guess you have to make a determination if it's worth the time and gas.....

No carb wars here... It's just amazing how different people are to me.. I guess perhaps if I wasn't out here all the time soaking up everything some of you vets say I may think and act differently!
Surgeons plan is no more than 15g per meal/snack... In all my "freakiness" I only consume about 25-35 a day!!
I'm thinking it's only worth my gas, especialy at $3.69, if I have other stuff to do in that town at the same time!!! Unless I find myself a car that get's about 50 mpg... that'd be handy!

(I imagine this guy is saying, "You're putting that in your mouth? NOOOOO!")Of course, I don't want to say anything because it is her body, her choice but it's like, if you're going to have a major surgery for weight loss, don't you want to tackle the head stuff too and remember why you got fat in the first place??? I am no saint but I don't think I'll be putting carbs like that in my system for a long time. This is why I believe seeing a therapist should be a requirement post wls until you reach maintenance and have your sh*t together.
