"Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be."
I'm totally off of booze (at least for now), do very little white food, and I RECORD EVERYTHING so that I can no longer lie to myself about eating. Couple that with DAILY EXERCISE and presto/changeo - I'm down 108 lbs. @ 4.5 mos. post-op. and I've lost all co-morbidities as well.
I find that many people in the support groups have a hard time with the notion that I take to heart: I agreed to be on a medically supervised nutrition and exercise program for 12-18 months as a way of conquering my super-morbid obesity. I never forget that, even though, at 65, I sometimes can't remember where I put my.....whatever it was...
You are doing fantastic! Keep being YOU! Keep going to groups so that you can annoy them with your success. And spend those Kohl's bucks on something nice for yourself - you've earned it.

I must say, though, this discussion illustrates one frustration I have. (vent alert) Why is nutrition a matter of doctors' "beliefs?" Why can't they get the F'ing science settled??? There's no scientific reason every doctor and nut should be giving different advice. There are millions of people whose lives depend on the diet advice they get from the so-called experts, and the experts don't agree. What are we supposed to do?
After a lot of reading, I've come to think there are special problems with carbs for some people (maybe most on OH), but in the years and years and years I did weigh watchers nobody every mentioned carbs as a problem. They sell carbs at the meetings!!! Bags and bags and bars and bars of simple starch. This is supposed to be a science-based program. No wonder it never worked for me. I just want to knock all their heads together.
I think weigh****chers just now finally started incorporating carbs in to thier formula to figure out points. I did it a few years ago.. I lost about 20lbs, but the second feel off the wagon I gained it all back!!!

I can answer this for you.. because science is BIASED. I know because I am a scientist. They tell you that science is this infallible thing that with proper study things are "proven" but so many studies are quite skewed because of financial interests.
With something as complex as nutrition and the human body, there are too many variables to narrow things down to a proper science experiment, and very few people take out all of the confounding variables.
So depending on what study you read, the science can show something completely different. Most of the studies follow the same old carb dogma because that's where the money is.
But if you think about it, humans evolved as a species for millions of years as hunter gatherers, not eating any processed foods.. so why would it be now that we need total cereal and vitamin injections? If you think about it from an evolutionary perspective you'll see it makes no sense.
