General Discussion / Re: Thinking of having Gastric bypass surgery?? READ THIS FIRST!
« on: March 10, 2011, 08:10:30 PM »
I had the surgery 5 years ago. I dont regret it and have been very lucky to have no medical issues and can eat everything. But mentally i have the same issues...closet eating, stress eating, etc. I still love carbs and junkfood. I did real good the first couple years then pushed my luck and added all the junk back. Now 5 yrs later im eating just like I did before the surgery, and gaining weight back. I think if i stuck to the eating plans and exercised more i would have kept it off, but real life came into play instead. The trick is def no to little carbs eating healthy and exercise. So this plan def has the right ideas. wendyg73

General Discussion / Hi everyone

Hi A friend joined and recommended this group to me. I had gastric bypass about 5 yrs ago. I had lost about 125 pounds but have found 30 of it again. I want it to find a new home, this place sounds like the place to start. I am married to a wonderful military man for over 18 yrs and have 2 beautiful kids. I have a couple questions.

the big one is I can not use artificial sugars as they make me ill. I get bad headaches and other unpleasant reactions to them. I see a lot of the recipes use them, will this work for me anyway?

I am completely addicted to carbs and am afraid of carb withdrawal...is there an easy way to go from eating as many as I do to eating so few a day nicely without the withdrawal?

Thanx
