Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Hi Deanna- Some things to avoid (if possible)- dairy, chocolate and glutens. I also avoid pork like the plague. Each person is a bit different so you might want to keep a " food diary " to help you find the best foods for you.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Salt, kelp and seafood are big no-nos as well. You want to stay away from iodine, and these are all heavy sources of iodine.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Well, Jean my philosophy is 'a little bit won't hurt me, same with seafood, too. I try things, and if they don't affect me too badly, I eat a little more. I have never noticed any profound effects from either asparagus or seafood, but I know that both are high in iodine.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Mickey, Congratulations on the 64 pounds. That is outstanding. You are so right about not rushing it. I keep reminding myself that I took years to put this weight on. I do go through stages where I get down about the numbers. It does not help that I have been on a plateau for the last two weeks. The one thing that I will be doing is going back to my protein shakes/protein bars. I have not done those in about 2 months. Thanks for responding. Continued success with your weight loss.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 I don't think that I am good example. I had been tracking my food on fitday.com for months and had been eating the required amount of protein through my meals, so I stopped.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Hi Rose... I'm about 8.5 months out and finding I can eat a lot more than I could the first 6 months. The risk of not getting to goal or, God forbid, gaining weight is a real fear for me. Protein, protein, protein. That is what I focus on. I have veggies every day, but try to really stay with the 70% protein 30% veggies as much as possible. Simple carbs are a big no no for me and I do all I can to stay away. With out wonderful Colorado fruit being in season, I had a really hard time staying away from them (I'm supposed to stay away until goal) and found myself indulging a little too often. Last week my hubby started Atkins induction so I decided to support him by going along with the program to kick my weight loss into higher gear. It seems to be working so far and I'm happy to see the scale moving down again. Good luck, **Don't dwell on past failures, dream of future successes.** ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Toi ~ Colorado Lap RNY Medial Bypass 12/31/02 -124 lbs St. Mark's Hospital Salt Lake City, UT Dr. Simper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Toi Thanks so much for the info. I see from your byline that you are down 124 pounds. Congratulations on that. I am going to go back to having my protein shakes and part of my protein bars every day. My personal trainer is insisting that I take in more protein before I work out. I will try anything. Like you my biggest fear is failing at this. I want this to be the thing that gets me to my goal. Thanks for everything, Rose > Hi Rose...

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 I met a woman at walmart one day and she had the surgery also. She has some parting advice for me and it was this.... " If you begin eating carbs, you will stall out and not lose a pound. That is what happened to me for the last two months. You dont gain, but you stop losing " Those are her words.
