RE: Advice? Help? Encouragement?

Tigger,

I think one of the things to remember in choosing foods, whether they're

high-protein or high-carb, is to choose things that are bulky which fill the

pouch and keep it filled up. Maybe a different approach to thinking about

food might help. When we discovered my stoma was a little stretched, the

doctor told me he wanted me on the " chicken-fried steak " diet. The purpose

wasn't to emphasize protein or carbs, since it has both, but to fill the

pouch up fast and keep it full for as long as possible. This works with

animal food for me, and it works with certain low-glycemic veggies like

broccoli, kale. Peanut butter on triscuits (whole wheat) plugs me up pretty

good, too.

All the best,

Advice? Help? Encouragement?

Hi,

I think I've become dietically challenged. I haven't lost any weight in so

long and am battling a lot of things right now, but still want to lose

weight. The thing is I'm back to my pre-WLS confusion... do I do Atkins, do

I do Weight Watchers, do I do just low cal, do I mix it all up a bitHugs to

all,

Tigger
