Minimize carbs... Carbs make me CRAVE food and crave MORE carbs!

I lost down to "normal" weight and was not able to get off my CPAP. I tried a couple of times but I again became drowsy during the day and I woke up several times during the night. I have come to...

My guess would be that it was some scar tissue that tore/released while bending over. Give us an update to let us know what the doc says.

Hello Mommysoup,

I just posted the below a few weeks ago... I am re-posting a it may answer some of our questions...



Hello Sleevers,

I am 3 YEARS post gastric sleeve surgery today!

Yes... its sounds just like gall-bladder issues... If you still have your gall bladder, you may want to consider going to a gastroenterologist for a gall bladder evaluation. Rapid weight loss, fat,...

Very easy... Just by eating too many carbs. Carbs come in many forms... many of which are liquid, very soft, and some simply dissolve and slide through the sleeve... like chips, sugar, crackers, ice...

EXCELLENT advice!! I agree with it all.

I would suggest that you copy and paste your post you just sent to me ... into an original post so that everyone else can read. The only people that will...

Yes, my Bama is doing pretty good this year... We have LSU, #1 Miss State, and #4 AU yet to go... Hopefully we will win out! :-)

Hello Sleevers,

I am 3 YEARS post gastric sleeve surgery today!

First, I want to say... I am soooo glad I got the sleeve. I have NEVER regretted my decision. Sure, there have been some ups and...

I'm almost 3 years out now...

carbonated beverages - NEVER ... Don't want to get on the slippery slope and take a chance of messing up my tool...
beer and champagne - NEVER (just because I don't...

Roooooool tide!!

You can't take back what you tell people... so ONLY tell people if you want constant comments and questions. You will get some comments and support from some and you will get mean, hurtful, doubting,...

I'm about 2.5+ years post op and I still weigh everyday. It keeps me honest and lets me know when weight starts creeping up on me so I can respond right away... vs finding out that I put on 10 pounds...

So glad for all of you that are able to get off the CPAP. I am one of the unlucky ones that tried to give it up but was unable to. I got down to a normal BMI of 24 but I still have issues at night...

I agree with everything tin man said "except".. ."CARBS are your friend". I strongly disagree with that. Intake of carbs causes the release of insulin... insulin causes you to retain fat... I would...

30 calorie/cup Almond SILK milk... Haven't had any regular milk since my surgery...

I am 2.5 years out from my sleeve surgery and I haven't taken a pill or insulin since the surgery. My A1C hovers at about 6.7 now so I know I still need to be VERY careful.
Its all about the CARBS...

I've been eating them for years... My favorite by far is the Pure Protein "REVOLUTION". Not all places carry the Revolution bar but they will order it if they don't. It tastes like a Snickers bar...

ALT is an enzyme produced in hepatocytes, the major cell type in the liver. The level of ALT in the blood (actually enzyme activity is measured in the clinical laboratory) is increased in conditions...

Its not about the calories anymore... Its about the protein and the CARBS and the "slider foods". Early on, your body is recovering from surgery. Its much easier to drink and eat slider foods (often...

Sorry to hear you are having issues.... There are several things you can do instead of waiting 3 months for a specialist visit.
You don't have to wait to see a specialist as any general practitioner...

YIKES!! Are you drinking carbonated beverages 6 months post op?

A slider food is any soft food that will simply slide through your stomach much like a liquid. It is preferred that you eat more solid/bulkier type foods so they will remain in your stomach longer...

I'm about 2.5 years post op. Initially, you can't help but lose weight if you are reasonably compliant... but as time passes, you are able to eat more. Your work really begins as you now have to make...

Not trying to be a "kill-joy"...
Just make the choice knowing that Orange Julius is LOADED with carbs that cause the release of insulin ... causing the calories to be stored as fat.
This may put a...
