Scared of food. - I have an issue where I'm mentally programed to think all food will just make me gain weight and that makes me not eat enough. The problem is that when I don't eat enough, my body ...

Not eating enough = no weight loss - I feel like when I don't eat enough food, my body holds on to every calorie and won't let me lose weight! The problem is, I can't get over the fact that too much food has always ca...

Back to 165! - Welp, I'm back to 165 lbs. *proud* I haven't been 165 since Feb 2009, so almost 5 years! It's really hard trying to lose weight the smaller you get.

Too much Vit-D harmful? - When I last had my labs done (Oct 30, 2012) my vitamin-D3 was 26. I've been taking one (sometimes 2) 50,000iu D pills a day (together with my multi and Calcium). I'm reading right ...

Probiotics: When should I take them? - I'm guessing we shouldn't take probiotics around the time we take our vites, so when should I take them? Example day: 8am-Breakfast 10am-Vites/snack (Multi/Calc./Vit-D) 12pm...

Whole grain? - White/Wheat flour give me total gas/diarrhea (like most of you), but has anyone found that whole grain gives them the same thing? I stay away from bread, but when I do eat it I ea...

Help me out with malapsorption #'s... - I'm confused about how I would go about including our malapsorption factor into my daily calorie count. I know as a general rule we absorb roughly 60% protein, 20% fat, and 100% ca...

Solgar Liquid Vitamin D3 - I picked up the Solgar Liquid Vitamin D3 at Sprouts. I now remember we don't absorb a lot of fat, but does this count as "fat" since it's oil? Am I not absorbing the D3? The ingred...

Twinlab Basic Essencials from GNC? - Do people drink this stuff? Is it good?

f.y.i.- Unjury protein recipes - I just went on the website and they have sooo many recipes! How fun! http://www.unjury.com/store/protein/unjury-recipes

Focusing on how far you've come. - I always look at how far I have to go, not how far I've already come. I was just looking at my old pictures of my pre-op self and I can't believe I'm sitting over here whining a...

I just want the scale to move... - I used to eat anything and everything for 7 years. Never had to worry about my weight at all. It was always 165 no matter what I ate/did. I decided to try to lose weight so I cut o...

Water-Soluble? - Fat-soluble vitamins means you need fat to... absorb it? Since we don't have adequate fat, we should stay away from those vites and get water-soluble vites? Do I have this correct?...

Nature Made Iron 65mg - I saw these are Costco. Are they okay to take daily? Does anyone else take them? I'll try to post a pic...

Biotin for hair growth... - Does anyone know about how much we absorb? I'm taking one 5,000mcg softgel a day because I don't want to over-do it. Would it be safe to take one in the morning and one at night? I...

Signature blank?! - My signature screen (when I go to edit my sig.) is just a blank grey screen. Who else has this problem? Is it because I'm using Internet Explorer? I use to use Firefox.

Fail. - Well, my insurance denied both my surgeries. I thought they'd at least approve the thigh lift.  I'm so sad. All my dreams of jogging without the horrible pain of the mass of ski...
