Don't worry, I've not been plowing through Delicious Forbidden Foods... But I have made myself sick of my once lusted-after daily salad + Grilled ch

So I have a carb question:

I see a lot of people(like maybe everyone?) saying that they go almost totally low carb when losing weight. So not just refined flowers and sugars and all that, but even like... black beans?

As a testament to the insane people will try to lose weight... I'm sharing the recipe for this morning's protein shake.

So before going on the official liquid diet, but since I've begun my new eating lifestyle, I always put a heaping teaspoon o

You're not eating enough, time for a lecture and we're also withholding privileges. Not even going to post in your update stream that you completed your di

I just got denied for the surgery. Insurance said I didn't do 3 things that are required, which I most definitely DID do. Six month diet: Check. H.Pylori test: Check. Cardiac Clearance: Check.

I know I did all the things required, so having it

My approval-seeking package was either submitted today or yesterday, if I understood the email correctly from the Nurse Navigator...

So, in a couple weeks, I'll know whether or not all my hurdles have been successfully navigated. I'm actually m

Prior to beginning my program, I'd heard of dumping from sugar--though only related to RNY patients. But I was surprised at the initial seminar(and have heard it repeated since then by my nutritionist) that VSG patients can trigger dumping syndrome fro

Hey ya'll. I'm a forum lurker. I went through a period of more activity here several years ago when my surgery plans fell through, and then lost the login info and recreated a new ID this year when I got it going again.
