Any recommendations for inexpensive bariatric 1x daily vitamins? I'm not an online shopper, so I'd prefer a store. I cant seem to find any that carry them though.

Went to my pre-op appt today. It was a very long day with a lot of info!! I took notes and was eager to find out all that would be going on Aug 28th! I'm still nervous because they have not got my insurance approval yet and I do not understand why I ha

The closer my surgery gets, the more nervous I get about things.....

What if I wake up and am so miserable I regret it? I don't want to regret it! I don't want to get depressed that I had the surgery. This surgery has been all I wanted for 2+ y

The struggle is real....I had yet another slip up tonight. I am in the pre-op stage and have been tracking food since June 8th. Tonight I binged. I'm very disappointed in myself. I feel guilt, shame and just plain sick. I will get back on track tomorro

I have been looking up keto. Isn't this pretty much the way of life that is recommended by our docs we follow. High protein low carb? It just has a name now instead of just "healthy" it is keto

How many grams of fat do you consume daily???


dmcs85 posted a discussion topic 6 years, 10 months ago

Ok so I have been looking at everything I eat :-) When it comes to carbs and sugar should I be choosing by net carbs or sugar grams?

For instance something had 10 grams of sugar but only 1 net carb. Is this ok???

What is my cutoff for carbs?? I've been taking everything thru myfitness pal and my carbs still seem high to me

I've noticed that so many individuals have lost a great deal of weight in the pre-op phase of their journey. Some HW to SW is a 40-50lbs loss. I have not even come close to that. Does this mean I am not ready mentally? Because I WANT it more then anyth
