I guess I don't consider 5g high in fat, and I normally don't eat a full "serving" at one time. Like I said, your body needs fat for it to function properly. That's why so many low/no fat diets fail....

Ok, I don't get on here hardly at all anymore as I am over 2 years out. I eat pork rinds ALL OF THE TIME!! They are a decent source of protein. When I have a craving for something salty, I eat pork...
Oh Carmen!! That's wonderful news!! I am so happy things are coming around for you. Like Erin said, sometimes things happen for a reason, and this time, the reason is good! :D
Well, I don't get on here much any more, but I came across this thread. It is very interesting the games our minds play on us. I was one of them that in my mind's eye, I didn't see myself as fat...
I'm crossing all body parts and saying a prayer for you that this job works out for you! ;)
Now we just need a web-site that we can check ALL of the protein shakes and powders. It amazes me that they can get away with having that crap in there. Ticks me off actually. :/
I just read this article about several protein shakes. You might want to read this and maybe reconsider your protein shake choices...

I think you're looking good even without surgery, but I totally understand!! How I feel clothed vs naked is a whole different story. I've got the saggy baggy, but it's WAY better than I was before....
I would love to have one of these in my area! What a wonderful idea!! :)
I like that new hobby! I started shopping at some Goodwill stores in some big cities. They have a LOT nicer clothes, name brand everything, than the one close to me. I love buying jeans for $6-7.00!...
Yikes!! I sure hope they make it up to you! Not only screwing up on the weight, but for their attitude towards you. That's uncalled for no matter what the reason may be. I'm sure it feels GREAT to be...
I do have to agree on some of this. I think all of the so-called diet food just makes people fatter!! They have even done studies that say that artificial sweeteners actually INCREASE hunger making...
Not so much now, but before, it would suck to get your nipples caught between your toes and trip over them!! LOL ;) A friend of mine told me about a time she was helping her grandma get dressed and...
Something else to add...by going up a band size and not cup size, the excess breast tissue is actually in the band and not in the cup. I like to watch make-over shows and every time they do a segment...
So sorry you're going through this, but glad they didn't mess around and got you into the hospital ASAP. Hope they get you all fixed up and back on your way to recovery and losing weight!! :) HUGS!!
Since about 4 or 5 months out, I've been eating romaine lettuce with cheese almost every day. It doesn't bother me a bit. I also can eat celery. I'm not a BIG veggie eater, so I really haven't tried...
She needs to appeal with the insurance. That is total bull crap that after the required 10% loss they deny her. My dr and insurance went off my weight from my day 1 weigh-in. I did lose 24# during...
WOW!! Look at you! You really worked that sleeve!! Congrats!! :)
These are my new favorite bars!! Supreme Protein Caramel Nut Chocolate Protein Bars, 1.8 oz, 9 count: Diet & Nutrition : Walmart.com
I found a 5 pack in store at Walmart 5 for $5. A great price...
This is where today's vanity sizing comes in. About 24+ years ago, when I was in high school, I was about this weight, but I wore a 10. You also have to remember that back then, they really didn't...
There is actually a good reason why the closer you get to goal the harder it is to lose. Go to Google and look up a page to check your BMR, the amount of calories your body uses just to live, not...
My first appt the dr asked where I wanted to end up. I told him around 140, because that was close to my weight in high school. He kind of chuckled and told me 150 was more realistic. Right now, I...
Sorry you're going through this, but at least you're on your way to healing! You'll feel sooo much better once you get through this! Good luck! :)
I agree. I NEVER saw her "go after" someone about plastics. She only commented AFTER they asked for advice. Doesn't everybody come on here for answers, whether it be related to the befores and afters...
The weight gain is definitely from fluid retention from the IVs. I came home about 6-8# heavier than the day of surgery too. It took over a week for it to all go away. The blurry vision is definitely...
