      Protien 100%. I gave up sugar and went 100% Protien and lost 40lbs in 4 months. That was February to May and since then 5lbs more and steady. Lisa Lisa D1 and now Tati gave me some inspiration, but crazy amazing blood work did most of the reason to start and then follow up BW has kept me going!

      I had to lower my sugar intake too. I am also a big snacker. The thing I found was fiber one snacks taste great, the keto snacks not so much. Keto granola taste good, also found two good greek yogurt only has 2 grams sugar. Voortman sugar free cookies works, not too many to chose from. My habit was to always snack.. parm crisps are a dry cheese snack. Crackers like triscuit, townhouse, crunch master to name a few, have 1 or. Zero sugar. I buy snack bags and count the serving for each item. I have this on my counter, so when ever I need to grab something its there. Also when I go shopping I put some in my purse, so I don't pick up s candy bar 😎.

    My friend had gastric bypass surgery, how ever if the lifestyle doesn't change the surgery won't work,it failed because of her going back to the old habits. Eating clean and what ever you can just pull out of the earth and clean off is the way to go. It will not be easy,and Yes you said it right. Vegetables and meat pretty much. Everything has soy,or high fructose corn syrup or sugar,find fruits to blend into smoothies for when you have sugar craving and mix with all real fruit 100% juice, I use Lakewood. And throw in some things that are good for you and will curb your appetite. Ginger , celery,bell peppers, dandelions. I follow the sick,fat and nearly dead diet. Healthiest ever. Seriously. Fruit smoothies healthy ones include blueberries, blackberries, strawberry, cherry. Excellent. Good luck. Awesome girl. Lots of blessings for you. Have a beautiful day. 😊🌸

ALONG with mental health. Which is the key to the weight lost NOT the gastric bypass. The mental health addresses WHY you had weight gain in first place. I am in a total difference place in 2022. 49 years old and 148. Long journey and I still try to find out how my body works and what I like to eat as well. You got this GIRL 🥰.

The only carbs she can have that dont instantly turn into sugar are lower carb veggies, like string beans, sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, etc. She has to limit herself because her body will react in non-pleasant ways, and many people with gastric bypass gain the weight back. She is listening to her doctors and her body - she's doing good. Your advice is undermining her, although I know you dont intend to do that. Please be careful how to support people who have undergone gastric bypass.

      @@myraahmadkhattak9952 hi! I do wanna say I and my dear friend got this surgery and we both struggled a bit because it’s mentally and physically exhausting/challenging. So it may feel at first like you can’t eat anything bad but that’s only for a little bit. I stayed very consistent for about 7-8 months just finding ways to eat protein and veggies. But it’s been a year for me now and I still always make sure I have my protein with a side of something bad I’ve been craving. But of course I don’t eat that all my meals. My friend on the other hand what she does is eat whatever she wants and makes sure she at least drinks the protein for the day. So that way she can have best of both worlds buuuut with that she lost so much weight that she doesn’t want to get skinnier so that’s why she eats that way. Me, I like to make sure I’m always eating protein. For example, have a steak with some mashed potatoes. Or chicken with Mac and cheese. I do go to the gym like 3x a week though. I would say at first I regretted it but now I’m happy! I can small moderations and not feel guilty. But do stay strict for about 6-8 months. Follow the plan. I ate protein chips and protein bars that were yummy! I found ice cream that was within my macros. You just gotta becareful what you put in your body in these beginning stages. I know it’s hard! I cried and honestly was so depressing but hey you did this for a reason just keep your eyes on that and like I told you just keep searching for things you can still sneakingly put into your diet that are not too bad. I hope you’re okay though!

      And the reason I love eating protein each meal is because our body needs it, energy feeds off that and you’ll prevent your hair from falling out a-lot

      Thankyou so much Letti S, I am so grateful for your detailed response- it gave me hope and I feel a bit calm and relaxed- I was actually panicking and had an anxiety attack a while ago so i kept searching for videos regarding this topic that could make me feel better .

    I have some tips for zero sugar snacks! My mom is allergic to sugar and we always have sugar free snacks in the house for her. For example, Pringles original are sugar free, and if you want something sweet, Lilly's Chocolate is really good.

    I found that taking smaller bites and chewing thoroughly helped. Most people shove their food down without chewing. So I started eating like I was enjoying every little morsel. I also liked to read or watch tv while eating so you can take your time chewing but don’t get bored. It helped me to combat that feeling you described. Also combining in each bite at least two flavors that compliment each other, like a protein with a crunch, like lettuce or carrots. If you haven’t already, check out some recipes for homemade lettuce wraps. Good luck dawling! And BTW, soon you are going to start soon experiencing people acting weird around you or jealous now that you are losing weight and looking good. They almost can’t help themselves. Just be yourself and humble. If you lose friends over this, don’t be surprised. If someone really cares about you, and are truly your friend, they will come back. 😊

    Hey girl! My dad had gastric bypass. The first few years (who am I kidding, even now) he uses a toddler plate to help portion food so he doesn’t over eat. And by over eating, I mean eating more food than a small lemon sized amt.
    If he messed up, to deal with the pain, he swears by walking immediately after eating to help food go down or deal with the pain of “over eating”. With how small the stomach is, just drinking too much water while you eat takes up extra room in the belly and is painful. He will literally get up from a restaurant table, excuse himself, and go walk around outside.
    Amazon is great affordable source for vitamins and minerals you have to supplement with now.
    And lastly, using poopourri in the toilet when using restroom helps with the odor with lots of frequent flushing.
    Hope I didn’t overstep by sharing any of this, and wishing you a super speedy recovery!

    One thing that I discovered after I had my surgery was having a hard time getting enough protein. One because the shakes were so thick . But my favorite discovery was “Protein waters” go sugar free candy as well, if you like candy. Cheese crisp are nice too! And I’m post 1.3 years and it gets better that feeling of the food going down but I can breathe now I used to have sleep apnea it’s gone . Blood pressure down, I can walk up and down steps and I can do a lot more with my life! God is good! I’m glad you’ve taken this step ! Health is Wealth! ❤

    I have never gotten that surgery, and i still struggle to find something to eat so i can definitely relate, you're definitely not alone girl 🙂 I'm a snacker too. But i agree with the comments, Pinterest has a lot of awesome ideas for almost every type of food. Non-sugar, low fat, high fat, keto and so on. Experiment with different foods, get to know what you like ya know. You have a lot of support here with us! Love you girly 😚

    I don't know if you're at this stage still, but if you eat the wrong thing and get nauseous the vibration from things like air conditioners really helped me. I may have looked funny leaning against an air conditioner, but sometimes eating the wrong thing really really hurts

    You look amazing. Eating is difficult. I'm allergic to everything after having a hysterectomy alongside a thyroid issue. So finding stuff I don't react to is hard. I'm starving.

    I have TMJ and recently been maorjly impacted. I LOVE food and I can’t enjoy eating when it hurts so much to chew and open my mouth just to get food into it. It’s not the same struggle but I relate to the feeling uncomfortable about eating. It’s almost nervousness for the next bite because I’m scared it will hurt or I’ll choke because it’s so hard to chew. On the bright side im working out more because endorphins help more than pain killers and I’m losing weight (which is needed). Here with you in the struggle girl.

    I'm 3+ years after doing the sleeve and it completely changed my mindset and lifestyle for the better. It was really tough. In no way do I think it's an easy out! I had so many breakdowns and still have issues because of how my body has handled weight loss and surgery. Take biotin and other hair vitamins! I still am working on growing my hair our since so much of it fell out during that 1st year after surgery. With all of that I'd neverrrrr go back. I'm so proud of my body and how far I've come. Both physically and emotionally. You'll get there. It just takes time and patience 💗❤️

    I'm 5 years post op but I had the sleeve. It gets easier! Eating little bits at a time will get so much easier, and you get used to taking your time and enjoying your food and tasting it. I'm not sure what they told you but my doctor said not to drink while I eat and that helped a lot. The sugar thing is real though! Hang in there! You are doing great 💜💜

    The more we eat the more our insulin spikes so intermittent fasting is pretty good as well as eggs and veggies and ways to get around eating bread like going keto. It really has helped me a lot aswell as regular exercise. Good luck on your journey it will be a little rocky but once you are used to it it’s much more manageable ❤️
